The Ocala/Marion County housing market reflected continued price stability and balanced inventory conditions in November 2025, even as closed sales declined year-over-year, according to the latest monthly market statistics released by the Ocala/Marion County Association of Realtors (OMCAR).

A total of 543 single-family homes closed in November, representing a 4.9 percent decrease compared to November 2024. Despite the slowdown in sales activity, home values remained relatively steady, the news release noted.

The median sales price was $291,990, a 5.5 percent decrease year-over-year, while the average sales price increased 2.0 percent to $357,334.

Inventory levels continued to rise, providing buyers with additional options. Active listings totaled 3,538 homes, a 12.6 percent increase from the same time last year.

The months’ supply of inventory held steady at 5.4 months, placing the market near conditions traditionally considered balanced between buyers and sellers, OMCAR noted.

Homes also spent more time on the market. The median time to contract increased to 68 days, up 21.4 percent year-over-year, while the median time to sale rose to 108 days.

Cash purchases accounted for 28.2 percent of all closed sales, down from last year.

Sellers continued to receive strong offers, with the median percent of original list price received at 95.0 percent.

Pending sales activity remained stable, with 601 new pending sales, indicating steady buyer interest heading into the final months of the year.

“The November data reflects a market that is adjusting to longer decision timelines while maintaining overall pricing strength,” said Carla Lord, president of OMCAR, in the press release. “Buyers and sellers are approaching transactions more deliberately, which is typical for this time of year and the broader economic environment.”
