Through mid-2025, Orlando’s population continued to grow and is projected to surpass 3.0 million by year-end as nonfarm employment rose by 33,400 jobs. Year-to-date net absorption reached 5,488 units, while deliveries have slowed—down 13 percent from the same period in 2024—with 6,173 units completed. Stabilized occupancy slipped to 92.7 percent, the weakest level since Q4 2020, while effective average rent declined 1.2 percent year-over-year to $1,801. The pipeline also contracted, with 12,262 units under construction—the lowest volume since the current building cycle began—creating room for lease-up of prior completions.
