Jon's Current Read

"Osceola County is Kissimmee, St. Cloud, and the vacation-home corridor at Disney's southern doorstep — a fast-growing, affordable, and increasingly diversifying market as the NeoCity semiconductor hub aims to push it beyond tourism. It is Central Florida's value-and-vacation-rental county. For buyers that means real negotiating room; for sellers, sharp pricing and a willingness to offer a concession. The county median is a starting point — the number that matters is the one for a specific home in a specific Osceola County neighborhood, which is what we price against live comps."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Osceola County snapshot (April 2026): typical home value $364K ($211/sqft), median rent $2,115, about 4,112 active listings, a median 81 days on market, and 19.6% of listings cutting price — a buyer's market. Values are -4.3% over the past year and +5.5% over five years.

Tourism is the historic engine — Osceola sits at Disney's southern edge and feeds the theme-park, hotel, and vacation-rental economy — but the county is deliberately diversifying. NeoCity, a 500-acre semiconductor-and-advanced-tech campus in Kissimmee, is attracting high-wage investment, while AdventHealth and Osceola Regional anchor healthcare and Orlando's job market is a short drive north.

Taxes, Insurance & Cost to Own

A median-priced Osceola County home costs about $2,628/month all-in (mortgage, tax, and insurance, 10% down) against median household income of $68,711. Florida's homestead exemption removes up to $50,000 of assessed value, and Save Our Homes caps annual assessed-value increases at 3% while you keep the homestead.

Typical property-tax millage15.233 mills (~1.52% before exemptions)
Avg. homeowners insurance$1,735/yr (Citizens county avg)
Homestead exemptionUp to $50,000 + 3% Save Our Homes cap
Est. all-in monthly (PITI)$2,628/mo on a $364K home
Income to buy median home$105,140/yr (est.)

At about $1,735 a year on average, Osceola is middle-of-the-pack for Florida — manageable, but very address-dependent near the water. Wind-mitigation features earn insurance credits; flood insurance is priced separately by address. Run your own numbers with the true cost calculator.

New Construction in Osceola County

Builders pulled 7,366 residential permits last year (-16.4% YoY) — 5,085 single-family and 2,281 multifamily, about 18.1 per 1,000 residents. Active master-planned communities include Celebration; Tohoqua (Kissimmee); Kindred; Harmony; Twin Lakes (Del Webb, 55+); ChampionsGate-area vacation communities. Builders compete on rate buydowns and closing-cost credits; buyer representation matters even on a new build. See active builders →

Population & Migration

Osceola County has about 406,943 residents. On a net domestic basis it gained roughly 5,703 people and a net +$299.46M in adjusted gross income in the latest IRS filing year (county-to-county moves within the U.S.; this does not count international migration or births). Domestic arrivals are led by NY, NJ, TX, MA. Migration is the demand engine behind prices: when more income flows in than out, it supports both rents and values.

12-Month Forecast

Expect Osceola to keep growing on affordability, migration, and the parks, with NeoCity adding higher-wage jobs over time. Near-term price growth stays modest given heavy vacation-home and new construction; STR policy is the key variable for investors.

Lifestyle in Osceola County

Osceola is defined by its proximity to the parks — Disney, the Kissimmee tourism corridor, and a huge vacation-rental market — plus the bass-fishing lakes of the Kissimmee Chain (Lake Toho), the new-urbanist charm of Celebration, and Old Town's classic Florida tourism. NeoCity is adding a high-tech dimension to a county long defined by hospitality.

Risks to Weigh

Osceola's risks are tourism cyclicality and short-term-rental regulation, affordability creeping up from a low base, inland lake flooding, and rapid-growth strain on infrastructure. It is inland, so hurricane risk is wind-and-rain rather than surge, and insurance is more moderate than the coast.

    Hedrick Brothers lands a 56.5 million dollar loan to start The Hedrick at Lake Toho in Kissimmee

    Hedrick Brothers Development secured a 56.5 million dollar construction loan for The Hedrick at Lake Toho, a 366-unit apartment community on about 21.7 acres along Toho Grande Boulevard in Kissimmee. The project is moving into vertical construction, with initial leasing anticipated by the end of 2027 and completion expected by the end of 2028.

    What it may mean for the marketNew financing closing on large rental projects near downtown Kissimmee could add meaningful rental supply to the Lake Toho corridor by 2028, which may moderate rent growth as units deliver.

    NRP Group breaks ground on the 88-unit income-restricted Alora Lofts in Kissimmee

    NRP Contractors broke ground on Alora Lofts, an 88-unit income-restricted apartment community at 1300 Windsor Drive in Kissimmee, with units set aside at between 30 percent and 70 percent of area median income. The four-story concrete building, designed by FK Architecture, closed on nearly 30 million dollars in financing as part of roughly 149 million dollars in apartment construction loans reported that week across Orlando and Kissimmee.

    What it may mean for the marketContinued lender appetite for income-restricted projects in Osceola County may help diversify the price points of new rental supply over the next few years.

    Richland Communities prepping Osceola portion of Sedona Ridge for nearly 400 lots

    Richland Communities is preparing roughly 85 acres on the Osceola side of the Osceola-Polk County line for Sedona Ridge, a subdivision platted for about 392 single-family lots across two phases in the Four Corners submarket on Sand Mine Road. Plans describe a mix of front-loaded lots, rear-loaded bungalows and townhomes facing linear parks.

    What it may mean for the marketThe activity may signal continued builder appetite for entry-priced single-family lots on the county's southern edge, though delivery timing could shift with infrastructure phasing.

    Atlantic Housing plans early start for 60 million dollar City Center next to St. Cloud City Hall

    Atlantic Housing Partners is advancing a mixed-use City Center beside St. Cloud City Hall, with a revised plan for a 542-space parking garage plus attached buildings holding 150 apartments and ground-floor commercial space. Roughly half of the apartments are committed as income-restricted, and the city is contributing land and about 6.25 million dollars, with the project contingent on tax-credit financing.

    What it may mean for the marketIf financing closes, the project could add structured parking and downtown housing in St. Cloud's historic core, but the income-restricted component reportedly depends on competitive tax credits that are not guaranteed.

The reported first phase is around 289,000 square feet, with construction targeted to begin in January and an early workforce of 300 by 2030.

    What it may mean for the marketThe agreement could deepen NeoCity's advanced-manufacturing footprint, though phased hiring and construction milestones may evolve over the multi-year build-out.

    Osceola County drops objection to a Target-anchored center near the Poinciana SunRail station

    County staff withdrew earlier objections to Poinciana Parke, a roughly 35-acre Target-anchored shopping center proposed on the former Florida Bible College property at U.S. 17-92 and Poinciana Boulevard. Staff agreed it could proceed under existing Poinciana planned-development zoning, with site plans expected within weeks.

    Kissimmee gets first look at a downtown Azure hotel and convention concept

    City officials reviewed an early concept for the Azure Hotel on the downtown Kissimmee waterfront, described as a full-service property with about 300 rooms, a spa, restaurant, meeting space and a rooftop bar overlooking Lake Tohopekaliga. The presentation represented an initial look rather than a final approval.

Plans describe about 2,016 homes across eight phases plus a 67-acre town center with multifamily units and mixed-use commercial space, developed with partners Empresas Fonalledas and Plaza Lakes LLC.

    What it may mean for the marketThe start of construction could add substantial single-family and town-center supply over many years, though later phases and the commercial component remain dependent on absorption and market conditions.

Osceola County Real Estate FAQ

What is the median home price in Osceola County?
The typical Osceola County home is worth about $364K as of April 2026 (Zillow ZHVI), -4.3% over the past year. The median list price is similar; individual neighborhoods range widely around that figure.
Is Osceola County a buyer's or seller's market?
As of April 2026, Osceola County is a buyer's market. Homes are taking a median of 81 days to sell, and inventory has rebuilt from its lows, giving buyers more room to negotiate than in recent years.
Is Osceola County expensive?
Osceola County's price-to-income ratio is about 5.3×, which is around the typical Florida county. The bigger cost surprises for newcomers are property insurance and, in newer communities, CDD fees — not the sticker price.
What is the average rent in Osceola County?
The median rent is about $2,115 a month (Zillow ZORI). Against the typical home value, that is a gross rental yield near 7.0%.
Are property taxes high in Osceola County?
The typical millage is about 15.233 mills, or roughly 1.52% of taxable value before exemptions. Florida's $50,000 homestead exemption and the Save Our Homes 3% assessment cap meaningfully lower the bill for owner-occupants.
How much is homeowners insurance in Osceola County?
The Citizens county-average premium is about $1,735 a year, but your actual cost depends heavily on the home's age, roof, construction, and flood zone. Wind-mitigation credits can lower it; flood insurance is priced separately by address.
Is Osceola County a good place to invest in real estate?
One of the country's premier short-term-rental markets given the proximity to Disney — underwrite STR zoning carefully, as resort-zoned communities are built for it.
Is Osceola County growing?
Osceola County has about 406,943 residents and is still drawing net in-migration of people and income. Migration and jobs are the forces most likely to support prices through the rate cycle.
How long do homes take to sell in Osceola County?
A median of about 81 days on market as of April 2026, longer than the 2021-2022 frenzy and a sign of today's more balanced conditions.
What are the best areas to live in Osceola County?
The county seat, Kissimmee, anchors the market, and the right area depends on whether you prioritize schools, commute, the water, or new construction. Our neighborhood guides map each on price, schools, and lifestyle.
What is the price per square foot in Osceola County?
Listings in Osceola County are priced around the area's median per-square-foot rate as of April 2026; smaller, older, and inland homes run below it, while new construction and waterfront run above. Per-square-foot is most useful within a single neighborhood, not across the whole county.
How much income do I need to buy a home in Osceola County?
As a rough rule, a buyer needs household income roughly in line with the county's price-to-income ratio of 5.3× the home price, keeping total housing costs near 30% of income. Median household income here is $68,711. A lender pre-approval gives you the exact figure for your situation.
Is now a good time to buy in Osceola County?
It depends on your horizon. For buyers planning to stay several years, today's buyer's market conditions — more inventory and routine price cuts — offer better terms than the 2021-2022 peak. For short-term flips, flat appreciation makes the math tight. The right answer is specific to the home and your timeline.
Do I need flood insurance in Osceola County?
It depends on the address. Homes in FEMA high-risk flood zones (A or V) typically require flood insurance with a federally backed mortgage, and even outside those zones it can be worth carrying in low-lying or coastal parts of Osceola County. Flood premiums are priced separately by address under FEMA Risk Rating 2.0, so always check the flood zone before you buy.
Is Osceola County a good place to retire?
Florida's lack of a state income tax and the homestead/Save Our Homes protections make Osceola County attractive for retirees on a fixed income, especially in its 55+ and lower-maintenance communities. Weigh that against insurance costs and proximity to healthcare when you choose a specific area.
How fast are home prices rising in Osceola County?
Over the past year, the typical Osceola County home value moved -4.3%. Over five years it is +5.5% and over ten years +6.8% — so the long-run trend is up even though near-term growth has cooled.
What is the cost of living in Osceola County?
Housing, insurance, and property tax are the main local cost drivers; Florida charges no state income tax. A median-priced home runs about $2,628 a month all-in (mortgage, tax, and insurance), against median household income of $68,711 a year. Utilities, transportation, and healthcare track close to state averages.
What are the risks of buying in Osceola County?
The main ones are hurricane and flood exposure (which drive insurance costs), rising premiums statewide, and — in fast-growing submarkets — overbuilding that can soften resale and rents. On older condos, ask about reserves and special assessments. None are dealbreakers, but all belong in your budget before you offer.
Is Osceola County good for real estate investors?
Osceola County's estimated cap rate is about 7.0% with a gross yield near 7.0%, so it leans cash-flow-friendly. Net migration and the local job base are the demand signals that matter most for landlords here.
What counties are near Osceola County?
See the 'Explore more' section on this page for direct links to the neighboring county market reports, plus the full set of scorecards for all 67 Florida counties.
Has inventory in Osceola County gone up?
Yes — active listings are -1.5% versus a year ago. That rebuild from pandemic-era lows is the single biggest reason buyers have more leverage now than they did in 2021-2022.
Is Osceola County good for a vacation / short-term-rental home?
It is one of the strongest short-term-rental markets in the country because of its proximity to Disney, with whole resort-zoned communities (around ChampionsGate, Reunion, and the Kissimmee corridor) purpose-built for vacation rentals. Most standard residential areas, however, restrict short-term rentals, so confirm the specific community's STR zoning and HOA rules before you buy.
