South Tampa Rental Market Q3 2026: Two Numbers Disagree

South Tampa's annual numbers and its quarterly numbers pointed opposite ways in Q3. Rent is up on the year and down since June; home values are down on the year and up since June. If you own here from out of state, whichever number your screen happens to show is the one making your decision.

Seminole Heights Rental Market Q3 2026: The Squeeze

Rent fell in both Seminole Heights ZIPs in the August print while both home-value indexes rose — and the north ZIP fell three times as far across the year. Here's why the value gain doesn't help, and what the dengue response is asking a 33603 or 33604 owner to do.

Carrollwood Rental Market Q3 2026: The Two ZIPs Split

Carrollwood's two ZIPs stopped moving together this quarter — 33624 has climbed five months straight while 33618 sits where it sat in June 2025. And the spring figures we published have since been restated by as much as $110.

Avalon Park Rental Market Q3 2026: The Yield Is the Trade

Lake Mary's median home is worth within $67 of Avalon Park's and rents for $282 a month less. That gap is the whole Q3 story for 32828 — and so is the reason it may not last.

Winter Park Q3 2026 Pulse: The Yield Problem in 32789

Winter Park is the only Orlando ZIP we track whose home value rose meaningfully this year — up 5.6%, against rent up 4.9%. Run the division and it is the lowest rent-to-value ratio on the board. Which is good news or bad news depending entirely on whether you already own there.

Lake Nona Rental Market Q3 2026: A Turn That Isn't

Lake Nona West opened in phases over the summer and Target has been trading since July 26 — so August is the first full month the anchor was open. The index came in lower than July and lower than a year ago, and eight prints have now passed since the December 2025 high without retaking it.

Avalon Park Q2 2026 Pulse: The Town Center Opens as the Builder Leaves

Q2 2026 collected on Avalon Park's maturation: For The Plot opened May 30, Freehand Goods opened April 22, and the developer got its 8,800-home Daytona city approved. 32828 rent held near $2,159. Here's what that means for your 32828 door.

Winter Park Q2 2026 Pulse: The Summer Squeeze in 32789

Q2 caught Winter Park between two overhangs: Park Avenue hit peak construction right as leasing season peaked, and a 297-bed Rollins dorm opens this fall. One offset — the edge corridors got their amenities. Here's what 32789 landlords do before September.

Carrollwood Q2 2026: The Catalysts Opened. The Rents Didn't.

Q2 was the quarter the Dale Mabry catalysts stopped being paper — BayCare's HealthHub opened, the Rays MOU cleared both boards, 78,000 square feet leased. And rent in 33618 and 33624 didn't budge. Here's why, and what it means for your next lease.

Lake Nona Q2 2026 Pulse: Supply Catches Up as Retail Opens in 32827

Q2 2026 flipped Lake Nona's script: the retail and hospital demand finally started arriving — and so did the supply. 426 new homes cleared June 25, Kelson delivered 342 units, and 32827 rent went flat. Here's what 32827 landlords do next.

South Tampa Q2 2026 Pulse: The Insurance Cut Lands Uneven

Q2 brought South Tampa its first real insurance breather since Milton — and it arrives lopsided. Citizens' approved cut is 8.8% for multiperil but only 5.5% for wind-only, and it doesn't take effect until July 1. Coastal 33611 is where that gap bites.

Seminole Heights Q2 2026 Pulse: Rent Turns Up, and the ADU Map Goes Live

Q2 2026 handed Seminole Heights owners two things Q1 didn't: rent that turned back up in 33603, and a live city map that answers whether your lot can take a second unit. Here's what a 33603/33604 landlord does with both.

Winter Park Q1 2026 Pulse: Park Avenue Becomes a Job Site in 32789

Q1 2026 is when the Park Avenue Refresh stopped being a plan and became a job site. Phase 1 broke ground Jan 20, the Commission locked Phase 2 on Feb 25, and a 250-unit building cleared review at Ravaudage. Here's why 32789 landlords should hold and defend, not push rent.

Seminole Heights Q1 2026 Pulse: The ADU Shortcut That Didn't Come

Q1 2026 cooled Seminole Heights — rent slipped to about $2,015 in 33603, homes sat longer, fewer sold. And the statewide ADU bill that could have re-priced the neighborhood died in the Florida House on March 13. Here's what 33603 and 33604 landlords do next.
