The Florida real estate market is changing fast — and this listing proves it. In this video, I break down a beautiful renovated home in Orlando, Florida that should have sold easily, yet has been sitting on the market for months with constant price cuts.
We look at the full price history, rising property taxes, massive inventory, insurance issues, and why even great homes are struggling to sell. From an attempted $85,000 profit to selling below the original purchase price, this listing highlights why Florida is rapidly becoming a buyer’s market.

okay guys so the real estate market in florida is just being destroyed
there's so much supply on the market all these houses are just sitting here
and i just wanted to ref it and did a quick search
and just picked a random house and we click this one right here
and if you look it's a beautiful house it looks great
just look at it outside the inside's nice it's renovated it looks like
nice new flooring the interior is beautiful
nice light shining through yeah everything here looks pretty high
quality doesn't look like a cheap flip it might be staged of course but it
looks nice i like it i will live here and it's in
sunny florida i believe we're in orlando florida right now
and it's just not selling so this person bought this house
and they bought this house look it even has a pool
a very nice pool it's not too big it's surrounded by a lot of grass
and not the best design here but the pool
is there the pool is nice okay has a nice backyard
i just i like it i like it simple it's clean
but no one's buying it why let's look at this
look at this they're saying price improvement
let me show you how much this price has improved so if we go down
all these upgrades it's just not going so if we go
down here we can see this person bought this house
in 2023 for $715 and then they listed it for sale in may so a year
or two years later exactly two years later they
listed it for sale i wonder if they meant to do exactly two years later
they might have based on some laws and mortgages and all of that
so they listed for $800,000 a come up of $85,000 that would be that would be
huge right so they wanted $800,000 in may
of 2025 just about six months ago now yeah and
then they decided oh it's not selling fast enough two weeks later
and they say actually 20 or three weeks later and they say
let's go to $789 dropped by $11,000 june passes $779
july $759 august $745 man they've come so far down from that
$800,000 and remember we started at $715 that's
what that's what they bought it for so they they probably got a mortgage
for $715,000 and look at the history here
this house is just up and down right so whoever sold it to that guy
listed it for $749,000 and then the guy bought it from them for $715,000
and now we're at august of 2025 and it's at $745,000
now september passes it looks like someone wanted to buy it it was pending
sale in september so two months ago it was
pending sale that's good that's a that's pretty that's
not too bad right that's about four months
that they had it on the market for it's not great but it's not bad
and it fell through it fell through so this is just how it looks in florida
right now you can see all of these houses here are for sale
and they've all been on the market for over 180 days
that's a lot of houses to be on the market
so september comes and passes the price was at $745,000 and dropped
to $735,000 relisted at $715,000
so we started at $715,000 in 2023 that's what they bought it for
they wanted $800,000 after all those renovations and improvements
and now it's october 6th and we're at $715,000
but it gets worse october passes no one buys it it was removed
the seller got tired and decided okay we're gonna do some changes and they put
it back up at $715,000 and then they changed the
price to $700,000 about
two weeks ago three weeks ago now for $700,000 that's what they want now
man that is
i hate to laugh because this is somebody's pain but they
really wanted a big come up here for $85,000 from where they bought it for
two years earlier but they just couldn't get it and now
they're under they're under what they wanted to buy
what they wanted to sell it for they're under what they bought it for
and they're way under what they wanted to sell it for and
fortunately they probably they probably paid off some of the market so far so
they're not underwater quite yet but most of their payments
would have been interest so they're probably going to lose a
good amount of money on this deal if they sell for $700,000 especially if it
doesn't sell because this trend is not looking good
they have too many too much inventory there are too many options here so look
at this the houses around them are for $575,000 so $600,000
$400,000 $300,000 some of them are $725,000
but most of the houses are in the $400,000 to $500,000
$600,000 range so they are kind of an outlier right now
in this market look at this $200,000 $300,000
you can see there's only a couple of them in view that are for
$700,000 of course there are the great ones for a million dollars but
there are just too much inventory and all these houses are competing with one
another and this one just is not going to sell
if we look at the tax history I haven't looked at this one yet but if
we look at this we can see that they bought the house in 2023
and the tax the property tax was at $6,000
it's since gone up by over 68% in in in 2024 it went from $6,000 to
$10,000 per year for their income tax or for their
property tax so not only are they going to sell the
house for less than they bought it for they're paying more taxes on the land
a lot more taxes and if they don't get it
so before the end of the year that property tax is probably going to go up
again and Florida is struggling uniquely
because they have all these hurricanes and
insurers don't want to insure them so the state has to step in and say
hey we'll be the insurer of last of last resort
that's not great so selling buying a house down there is not so easy anymore
and that means that selling it isn't going to be easy which means that it's
going to be a buyer market more so than ever before
and right now there's just so much inventory in the market so that makes
it a buyer market i feel really bad for this for this
this couple probably or one person whoever bought it
because this is a nice house i think it's i think it's good
just from the outside looking in but you can see recommend it for you based on
homes you've looked at so these are the homes that are like the ones i've been
looking at in florida and these are all in the 200 400 the top
of the market in this little bubble little square here
is seven hundred thousand dollars 689 excuse me
so this person is going to be very hard pressed to
to find a buyer after all this all this work
and they're they're just trying their hardest to get this thing so the real
the real estate agent here is working overtime probably
trying to get this thing sold let's look at the picture some more let's look at
it i think they have a 3d tour yes let's go
ahead actually let's do street view first
look at the street so this is the house right here
a little driveway which is great this is a nice street
look at this look at the neighbor's house that's a much better driveway
go right around yeah this isn't a bad area
looks pretty calm yeah it looks like a good middle class
middle class street not too much noise i like it and it would do a 3d tour here
we can click in metaport and look around look at this
little fireplace that probably is out of commission
it has a bedroom on the first floor and a bathroom
and the bedroom has a bathroom of its own
look at that look at this bathroom oh this is so good
i like this but no one's buying it for some reason
this is a very spacious room has a tv mounted
you know what this is probably an airbnb house
whenever i see a tv like this i just think airbnb because i
i usually use my bedroom for my tv on a dresser but maybe that's just me but
feels like an airbnb house to me yeah look at this another big
another big bedroom with great light from the sun
outside outside the window right there yeah
another nicely renovated bathroom this person
did some good work on this house if this was their work this dining room's
very big well i guess i live in an apartment so
everything seems big to me but yeah this kitchen is definitely big
all right this is a good kitchen it looks like a galley
style open concept yeah let's see what else do we have here
let's go in the dollhouse yeah we can look at the house
look at that look at all these rooms that's an office let's go in there
oh it's the second floor okay so let's close this
how do we do that come on matterport you gotta be easier than this

look at that the toilet's free no nothing can come around it
little vanity i like it wow okay another bed another bedroom good
size as big as the bathroom what else
what else do we have and that's it i guess for up here so it has two rooms
and a bathroom and the two rooms downstairs so that's
four bedrooms i believe we exhausted it more windows i am a big fan
look at this when you go outside i don't think we can
what we did is one matterport is did not do this house right
they should have taken us outside and the kitchen i like the sink
yeah look at the look at the fridge this is a this is two doors double doors
why are you not selling what is wrong with you house

the laundry area okay looks like there's a separate office
then somewhere but yeah i like this house what do you guys
think why is this house not selling anyone in florida tell me in the
comments below what do you think is wrong with this
house what do you think is wrong with this market
that such a nice house is just sitting there for
months and months and now it's underwater
went from wanting 85 000 above what they bought it for to now being
under by 15 000 what they bought it for it has everything you could ask for

around anyway that's all for me i'll see you
