Market Snapshot for Orlando Retail Real Estate
We’ve taken a number of the essential statistics for Orlando retail real estate and broken them down below in our report. The retail real estate report is updated every quarter by our in-house commercial real estate experts. First, it is important to give some context to the reasons why Orlando’s retail is doing well currently. It’s no secret that Florida has experienced a population boom during the last few years thanks to a number of economic and lifestyle factors:
1) It is very tax-friendly compared to most states in the USA.
2) Many retired folk from around the country come to live in Florida.
3) It was one of the more business-friendly states during the pandemic.
4) The United States is witnessing a dramatic shift in population from densely populated stats, such as New York and California to states like Florida and Arizona.
5) It is well known for its consistently good weather.
To further expand upon this population growth in the context of Florida, according to the World Population Review, Florida is #7 nationwide for population growth throughout 2021 with a growth of 1.1% overall. Additionally, The Villages, FL (which is one hour NW of Orlando) was found to be the fastest growing metro area nationwide from 2010 to 2020. Of course, population growth is not the only factor that ties into retail real estate, or commercial real estate as a whole, but it is certainly one of the best indicators of where money is going to be spent.
