Reader question: What did public Orlando housing sources show in August 2026?
Concise answer: They showed different but useful broad-market measures: Zillow reported a $371,120 modeled typical value, Redfin a $414,726 median closed-sale price, and Realtor.com a $384,900 median listing price. Each measure has a different definition and should be used separately.
Key findings
- Zillow reported a $371,120 typical Orlando home value, down 1.4% year over year through August 31, 2026.
- Redfin reported a $414,726 median closed-sale price for all home types in August 2026, down 1.2% year over year, based on MLS and public-record calculations.
- Realtor.com reported an August 2026 median listing price of $384,900 and median sold price of $380,500. These are different measures from ZHVI and should not be blended into one price series.

Method
- Recorded each provider's displayed geography, date and metric label exactly as published.
- Kept Zillow's modeled Home Value Index separate from Redfin and Realtor.com transaction medians and from Realtor.com asking-price measures.
- Used the figures as broad Orlando context only. No citywide figure was assigned to a neighborhood or property segment.
Limits
- Provider coverage, refresh dates and calculation methods differ, so apparent price gaps are not provider errors and are not direct appreciation measures.
- The displayed portal pages do not supply a shared transaction sample or a shared property-type mix.
- No conclusion in this report applies automatically to a specific address, luxury home, waterfront property or named community.
Frequently asked questions
Do these figures establish a value for one home?
No. They are broad Orlando measures and do not replace recent comparable sales or property-specific review.
Why do the displayed prices differ?
They measure different populations and events, including modeled values, completed sales and asking prices.
