“July’s numbers show continued demand for single-family homes in Ocala/Marion County, with sales volume climbing and median prices holding steady,” said OMCAR President Carla Lord in the release. “At the same time, increasing inventory and longer market times indicate buyers have more options and negotiating power than in previous months.”
The data underscores a balanced market: while prices remain strong, the rise in inventory and supply is creating more opportunities for buyers. Cash transactions continue to play a significant role, particularly in the manufactured home sector, the release noted.
