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 steady prices and slower sales.
Redfin describes the St. Cloud housing market as somewhat competitive. In March 2026, the median sale price was about $395,000, up 0.2 percent year over year, and homes sold in around 70 days on average compared with 84 days a year earlier.
The median sale price per square foot was about $202, down 5.2 percent year over year. There were 101 homes sold in March versus 126 a year earlier, reflecting softer volume even as timelines improved. Submarkets and ZIPs show different dynamics: ZIP 34769 medians around $336,000 with homes selling in about 38 days, and 34771 medians around $449,000 with 98-day timelines and heavy new construction.
Neighborhoods like St. Cloud Manor Estates can sit at much higher price points — recent medians near $595,000 with price-per-foot up sharply year over year — illustrating the spread between entry-level and move-up product.
“St. Cloud is where Orlando-area growth meets a more balanced, slower market.”
