Orlando’s housing prices forecast to go up 3% in 2013

Things are looking pretty good for the Orlando area’s housing market in 2013, according to a new report by ClearCapital.

Metro Orlando is slated to see home prices go up 3 percent this year, which ranked 26th among the nation’s top 50 markets, said Truckee, Calif.-based ClearCapital’s Home Data Index Market Report. The region in 2012 saw home prices increase 8.6 percent when compared with the previous year and 1.2 percent quarter-over-quarter, the report said.

Meanwhile, the Orlando Regional Realtor Association last month reported the area’s November median home price of $129,000 was the highest in the last three years. That price also was 12.2 percent higher than November 2011’s median of $115,000 and was 5.3 percent higher than October 2012’s $122,500.

Metro Orlando’s median price climbed 19 percent since January 2012 and 36 percent since January 2011, the association reported.
