Mortgage Broker
in St. Cloud, FL
St. Cloud sits just south of the Orlando-Kissimmee corridor, offering a mix of established neighborhoods and growing new-construction areas. We help you navigate financing in a market that has cooled from the frenzy years but still sees steady demand and strong submarket differences.
A growing Orlando-adjacent city
with easing prices and softer sales volume.
Redfin describes the St. Cloud housing market as somewhat competitive. Over the three months ending July 2026, the median sale price was about $375,000, down 6.3 percent year over year, and homes sold in around 56 days on average compared with 60 days a year earlier.
The median sale price per square foot was about $194, down 7.6 percent year over year. There were 362 homes sold in July versus 412 a year earlier, reflecting softer volume even as timelines improved. Submarkets and ZIPs show different dynamics: ZIP 34769 medians around $326,000, essentially flat year over year, with homes selling in about 45 days, and 34771 medians around $451,000, down 3.0 percent year over year, with 65-day timelines and heavy new construction.
Neighborhoods like St. Cloud Manor Estates can sit at much higher price points, with recent medians near $675,000, up 9.2 percent year over year, illustrating the spread between entry-level and move-up product. Only a handful of homes sell there in any month, so those numbers swing with the mix of what sold rather than tracking a smooth trend.
“St. Cloud is where Orlando-area growth meets a more balanced, slower market.”
