The total value of Orlando homes is on the rise, reaching $187.5 billion at the end of 2016, up 8.5 percent, or $14.6 billion, from the prior year. The local median home value in 2016 was almost a 10 percent increase over the previous year.

The combined market value of every home in the U.S. reached a record-high of $29.6 trillion in 2016, up $1.6 trillion from the prior year, according to a new Zillow analysis.

Check out Zillow’s 10 top metro Orlando areas that had the fastest appreciating home values, shown here with the median home value, followed by year-over-year growth:

  10. Umatilla; $130,200; 6.7%

Among the list of major U.S. cities with the highest housing stock toward the end of 2016, Orlando ranks 26th out of the 35. “Orlando is a relatively strong job market and is affordable. It’s still a great place for entry-level homebuyers and continues to grow,” said Aaron Terrazas, human economist at Zillow, adding that the Orlando market is still well below the peak, meaning there are deals to be found in comparison to other major cities.

What does this mean for 2017? Zillow forecasts the housing market in metro Orlando "to appreciate 5.7 percent over the next year. The U.S. as a whole is forecasted to appreciate 3 percent over the next year," Terrazas said.  Orlando’s median home value for 2017 will be $209,400, which is roughly $11,000 more than what it is now at $198,100.
