For Journalists
Angles worth covering.
Six data-backed story angles on the Orlando and Central Florida real estate market. Ryan is available on record, same business day, with MLS data and closed-transaction examples to support each.
Orlando's rate-lock gridlock
40% of Florida homeowners financed below 4% and won't move. How this compresses resale inventory and squeezes the buyer pool in 2026.
Ryan can provide
Submarket inventory comparisons, seller motivation data, and case studies of homeowners who moved anyway — and what motivated them.
Butler Chain waterfront: what $1M–$4M actually buys
Price-per-foot analysis of Central Florida's most sought-after lake chain — Isleworth, Keene's Pointe, and open-market sales compared head-to-head.
Ryan can provide
Closed transaction data, submarket comparisons, on-record commentary on buyer profiles and current absorption rates.
Florida's insurance crisis is reshaping which homes sell
Carriers won't write policies on roofs older than 15–20 years, effectively making thousands of homes unsellable without a $15K–$25K replacement at listing.
Ryan can provide
Transaction examples, carrier requirements by roof type, and data on how insurance age-gating is repricing specific submarkets.
CDD fees: the hidden $300–600/month cost in new construction
Community Development District bonds are the largest surprise cost in Central Florida new construction — yet they rarely appear in a builder's headline price.
Ryan can provide
Actual CDD assessment data across major Horizon West, Lake Nona, and Celebration developments, plus buyer vs. resale comparison math.
Canadian buyers and the Florida retreat
CAD/USD deterioration and FIRPTA complexity have cooled Canadian demand in Orange County — a buyer segment that historically drove parts of the $600K–$1.2M market.
Ryan can provide
Transaction-level anecdotes, affected community data, and implications for the mid-luxury price band.
Orlando home prices 2026: where we stand vs. the 2022 peak
A neighborhood-by-neighborhood data story on how far prices normalized, which areas led the correction, and where the structural floor held.
Ryan can provide
MLS-sourced submarket analysis, days-on-market by price band, and 3–5 year outlook commentary.
