First of all, thank you for being an avid reader and follower of mine. I have spent countless hours over last 2 decades publishing these reports every quarter for the City I have devoted over half my life exceeding my client’s real estate goals in, Winter Garden. These reports I produce while the majority of the population is asleep, it is the only time I can get pen to paper without distractions.

Even more important than these Quarterly reports that are released without a sign-up or registration required, I also pour my expertise and knowledge into the heavily read RTR End of year report and what the majority of all RTR ARMY skips to, the always spot on RTRs Crystal Ball predictions. With this aid let’s make this report short and sweet so I can devote the time needed to the year in review. The section read by most of my competition and parroted, which is a true honor. Knowledge is power and why I have given all of this to you with no strings attached over the last 2 decades.

When we break down the 4th Qtr of the 2023 year to year with the stat tables generated directly from the ORRA MLS above and I crunch the numbers. We see a retraction of 2% in the average closed sale price and a 6% decrease year to year in Median Sale Price… which for anyone that wants sensationalism or to do a fancy tik tock video sounds like a great narrative if you are in the majority of people that are easily confused.

Notice the 2 other important metrics that I always track in these reports… Average $/ft which spiked up 6% Quarter to Quarter and Average Days on the Market which was under a 1% increase 37 from 34 days average.

Stick with me, let’s get to the all-important section of the report, The breakdown of Single-Family ONLY metric data… in my opinion this is where the market is and why I dive down to this level in every report.

It is so worth the double effort to myself and more importantly the RTR ARMY…
