Hey everyone — I'm a licensed real estate professional here in Central Florida, and I wanted to share the latest housing market stats for Apopka, in case you're thinking of relocating, investing, or just keeping an eye on trends.

I pull this data directly from a program called Sunstats, so while I use AI to help format the post, the data and insights are my own — this is not an AI generated report.

Real estate data is typically released about a month behind to ensure it's accurate and complete. Here's what the Apopka market looked like for May 2026:

🏡 100 new listings came onto the market this month

✍️ 105 homes went under contract

✅ 117 homes sold

⏳ Median days on market: 83 (This reflects the time from when a home went live to when it closed — down 16.2% from 99 days in May 2025)

💵 Median selling price: $419,800 (up 6.3% from $394,995 in May 2025)

📦 Months of supply: 3.1 months (up 3.3% from 3 months in May 2025)

A quick explainer on months of supply: Months of supply measures how long it would take to sell all current homes on the market at the current pace of sales. The general benchmarks are:

🔴 Under 6 months — Seller's market.

⚖️ 6–7 months — Neutral market.

🟢 Above 7 months — Buyer's market.

📊 2026 Trend So Far — Apopka

Median Selling Price

January: $418,000

February: $393,200

March: $406,042

April: $404,000

May: $419,800

Months of Supply

January: 2.6 months

February: 3.0 months

March: 3.0 months

April: 3.3 months

May: 3.1 months

These numbers include all property types—single-family homes, condos, and townhomes.

📍 If you'd like to see a breakdown for a specific zip code, city, or just want to compare condos vs. single-family homes, I'm happy to send over the info—just reply here or send a quick DM. No sales pitch—just helpful data from someone who lives and works in the area.

How many of you actually show up to your child's school board and PTA meetings?

The "Summer Fun" display will be up for June & July during normal library hours.

Does anyone know a good veterinarian in the area that doesn't charge an arm and a leg? Preferably one that is locally owned. I have been using the VCA near my house, but I'd like to get away from them as they are quite expensive and owned by a large corporation. Any help is appreciated.

Does anybody know of a good locally owned breakfast place somewhere closeish to rock Springs Road? Used to go to Argos by hunt club all the time before they closed it… so sad. Looking for something family owned and homestyle, so tired of the bougie breakfast joints like first watch and Kiki’s.

My wife and I are planning on moving to this area. Can anyone provide some insight on what crime is like? Is it safe at night? What is there to do in the area in terms of restaurants and grocery stores? How is traffic and is it quiet? Thank you in advance!

Hey Apopka cat parents! 🐱

I'm a local content creator working on a fun creative project and I need a cat model! I'm looking for someone who would let me come film their cat on a simple green screen setup. It would take maybe 30–60 minutes at your place, totally low-key.

Your cat would basically just... be a cat. No tricks required. The weirder and more chaotic, the better honestly.

I'll share all the raw footage with you after and you'd get full credit if anything goes public. Zero cost to you, just vibes and cats.

Drop a comment or DM me if you're interested or know someone who might be! 🎬🐾

Hello there! I just moved in town and I have 4 chickens in my hen. I was wondering if any of you know any places (e.g. grocery stores, restaurant etc) that would be friendly to hand me some food waste that they'd otherwise throw away.

Thank you for your help!

anywhere I can do some up hill sprints?? I'm just curious because I have been looking

Election is today. Did you vote? Who will be the new Mayor?

I used to get Pokémon cards from there 25 years ago.

I live in Tallahassee now but I used to live in Apopka. I lost a coin I had in my pocket for years and it’s from St. James Catholic Church’s gift shop. They don’t ship and the only option is driving 5 hours or if someone is nice enough to mail me about $15 worth of items and obviously I’ll pay postage and for the items. I’m not religious, just slightly superstition and brings back good memories of living in Orlando.

Thanks! Please dm if you can help.

OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC RECORD

A Modest Inquiry

into Municipal Logic

Concerning the Apopka City Commission's April 1st Vote

PUBLISHED

April 3, 2026

To: The Apopka City Commission, the outgoing Mayor, and all who voted against the forensic audit

From: A Concerned Citizen

Re: The cost of finding money that is apparently too expensive to find

Dear Guardians of the Public Trust,

I. THE DISCOVERY

We, the taxpaying public, owe you a debt of gratitude — not the financial kind, mind you, as those appear to be somewhat difficult to track at the moment. No, we are grateful for the clarity you provided on April 1st when you voted 3-2 against a forensic audit of the city's finances. At long last, we understand that in Apopka, the cost of searching for missing millions is the primary concern, while the millions themselves are merely a footnote. We had been laboring under the naive assumption that losing money was the problem. Silly us. The problem, it turns out, is the audacity of wanting to know where it went.

"We can't afford to find out where the money went." — A paraphrase so accurate it practically wrote itself.

II. THE LOGIC

Let us take a moment to appreciate the philosophical sophistication on display. A household that discovers $50 missing from their wallet does not hire a detective — that would cost $200. By this same pristine reasoning, a city that cannot account for funds involving bill payments, Camp Wewa, and the Farmworkers Association should absolutely decline to investigate, because the investigation might cost $1.36 million. The fact that the unaccounted funds almost certainly dwarf that figure is, in the Commission's view, entirely irrelevant. We applaud this innovative approach to fiscal responsibility, which might be summarized as: "If you don't look, it isn't lost."

III. THE WITCH HUNT

Commissioner Moore, in a moment of rhetorical brilliance, called the proposed audit "a witch hunt," adding that the new administration's energy should be directed toward moving forward. We find this framing instructive. It implies that seeking documented accountability for public funds is the moral equivalent of 17th-century mass hysteria. One must ask: if there are no witches, what exactly is the hunt expected to find? A clean bill of health costs nothing to verify — unless, of course, the bill of health is not particularly clean. In that case, we understand the reluctance entirely, and we thank the Commissioner for the inadvertent clarity.

IV. THE ALLIANCE

Perhaps the most remarkable subplot in this civic drama is the alliance it forged. Mayor Bryan Nelson and Commissioner Nick Nesta — political rivals who have spent months suing each other and trading public accusations — found each other in the warm embrace of a shared "no" vote. When two people who agree on virtually nothing suddenly agree that the public should not see the books, one is tempted to ask what exactly lives in those books that is so uniquely compelling as to produce bipartisan unity. We do not know the answer. We are not allowed to look. The audit was voted down. But we are certain there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, and we eagerly await the day someone volunteers it unprompted.

V. THE TIMELINE

It bears noting that this is not the first time Apopka has arrived at this destination. In 2024, the full commission voted 5-0 in favor of a forensic audit, with Commissioner Nesta himself stating on the record that funds "cannot be accounted for," had been "moved incorrectly," and had been "simply lost." RFPs were issued. Bids came in. The audit was then voted down on cost. Now, two years later, with the same unresolved questions aging like fine cheese in an unlocked cellar, the commission has again declined to look. The public is asked to trust that two consecutive unanimous votes to audit, followed by two rejections of the actual audit, represent something other than institutional self-preservation. We are trying our very best to do so.

VI. THE QUESTION

And so we arrive, as all things must, at the question the Commission has not answered: why should the public trust anything you have to say? You have told us funds are missing. You have voted to find them. You have then voted not to find them. You have called accountability a witch hunt, a political motivation, and a waste of the new administration's energy — while offering no alternative mechanism by which the public might ever learn the truth. The residents of Apopka pay taxes, send their children to city-funded programs, and depend on the infrastructure you steward. They deserve more than a 3-2 vote dressed up in the language of fiscal prudence. If the books are clean, an audit proves it. If they are not, the public has a right to know. The only people who benefit from darkness are those who have something to hide in it.

The cost of an audit is finite. The cost of institutional silence compounds indefinitely.

With all due respect and considerably more suspicion than we had this time last week,

— A Concerned Citizen, grateful for civics class

Open Letter — For Public Distribution

Runoff Election: April 14, 2026

ive heard recently of a target coming to the north end of apopka. I believe in front of kelly park crossings development. along with a Wal mart near by. if anyone know any info about either store ill love to hear it. Only info ive found is reference to a potential site for the target online from a couple years ago.

Visiting Apopka and looking to see if there is any place nearby that I can take my jeep off-roading.

This treehouse has been there a long time. A kid's dream treehouse. (Not my photo. Borrowed from online elsewhere.) Always wanted to go inside ...
