Lake Nona Market Report June 2026 | Prices & Trends

What's on this page

June 2026 in One Paragraph

121 homes closed through the MLS across Lake Nona's two ZIP codes in June, 32% more than in June 2025, at a median of $690,750 in 32827 and $540,000 in 32832. Inventory finished the month at 447 active listings, slightly below where it stood a year earlier. Closings ran above the five-year June average in all four segments.

The price sellers paid for that volume is the rest of the story. Three of the four Lake Nona segments closed June at the bottom of their plotted five-year June range for share of original asking price, and all four came in below their five-year June average. More homes changed hands, and they changed hands by conceding price.

How Much Is For Sale, and How Does That Compare?

Lake Nona ended June with fewer homes for sale than a year earlier, but still about 35% more than a normal June carries.

447 homes were on the market at month end, down from 459 in June 2025. That decline comes entirely from 32832, where actives fell 11.6%, while 32827 rose 8.1%.

Against a longer baseline the picture is less comfortable. The four segments together carried 443 listings against a five-year June average of 329 — about 35% more. The gap is widest in the attached segments, and 32827 condos and townhomes sit at the top of their plotted five-year June range: 63 active units, against a range that runs from 7 to 63.

One reason not to read the percentages too literally. Lake Nona has added housing quickly over the past five years, so part of that 35% gap is simply more homes existing rather than more homes struggling to sell. The measures that are not affected by how much has been built — months of supply, days on market and the contract ratio — carry the argument on this page rather than the raw counts.

Do not compare 3.7 months to January's 5.6 and call it a recovery. June closings ran nearly double January's, and dividing listings by a bigger number produces a smaller answer. The fairer comparison holds the season constant: set the four segments' five-year June average listing count against their five-year June average closings and you get roughly 3.1 months, against 3.8 this June. Supply per sale is running about a fifth heavier than a normal June — meaningfully looser than average, nowhere near the six-month line.

What Does the June Data Mean if You're Buying?

Sellers gave up more of their original asking price in June than in any June of the past five years across three of Lake Nona's four segments.

That is the strongest finding in this month's data, and it is the one worth acting on. The sale-to-original-list ratio came in at 94.7% for 32827 single-family homes, 94.6% for 32827 condos and townhomes, and 95.0% for 32832 condos and townhomes — each sitting at the bottom of the five-year June range plotted for that segment. The fourth, 32832 single-family, ran 95.7% against a five-year June average of 97.4%: below normal, though not at the floor.

The contract ratio agrees. It counts pending sales per active listing, so it captures demand and supply in one number, and MarketStats reads a falling ratio as the market moving in the buyer's favour. Every Lake Nona segment sat below its five-year June norm: 37% below in 32827 single-family, 88% below in 32827 condos and townhomes, 42% and 62% below on the 32832 side.

Where the picture stops being one-sided is speed. Single-family homes in 32827 averaged 47 days on market, 13% below their five-year June average of 54 and down from 88 days in June 2025. That is the one segment moving faster than normal, and it is the largest segment by dollar volume in Lake Nona. The other three are slower than usual: 77 days for 32827 condos and townhomes against a norm of 49, 51 days for 32832 single-family against 37, and 83 days for 32832 condos and townhomes against 37 — the slow end of that segment's plotted five-year range.

Worth knowing if you are financing: about 25% of June closings were cash — 30 of 121. Conventional loans covered 67, VA 12 and FHA seven. The cash share has come down from roughly a third in January, which narrows one of the disadvantages a financed buyer carries into a competing-offer situation.

Where to be careful: 34 of the 121 June sales — 28% — closed within ten days of listing, and 16 of those at zero days on market. Those are largely builder transactions and homes effectively spoken for before they hit the MLS. Correctly priced homes still move quickly here. The leverage in this market sits with aged inventory, not with everything on the market.

What Does the June Data Mean if You're Selling?

The average June closing surrendered about 6.8% of its original asking price in 32827 and 5.2% in 32832 — and the two ZIP codes surrendered it at different stages.

Comparing average sold price to average final asking price gives 95.4% in 32827 and 97.8% in 32832. Set that against the total discount from the original asking price and the split is clear. In 32827, roughly 2.3 points came off the asking price before an offer arrived and 4.6 points came out of the negotiation. In 32832, it was the reverse: about 3.1 points off before an offer and 2.2 in the negotiation.

The practical reading is that 32827 sellers are still starting high and conceding at the table, while 32832 sellers are correcting the list price first and defending it better once a buyer engages. The second approach cost less in June.

New listings tell you what you are up against. Sellers brought 136 new listings to market against 121 closings, so supply still grew faster than it cleared — but only just. In January that ratio was 138 new listings against 68 closings. The gap between what arrives and what clears has narrowed substantially over the first half of the year.

The number to plan around: average days on market ran 55 in 32827 and 62 in 32832, and that average conceals a wide split. A well-priced single-family home in 32827 is closer to seven weeks; an attached home in 32832 is closer to twelve. Count backward from the figure for your segment, not the ZIP-wide one, then add closing time.

If you own a condo or townhome, both ZIP codes deserve caution for different reasons. In 32827 the competition is the issue: 63 attached listings, the top of that segment's plotted five-year June range, against 12 closings. In 32832 it is the clock: 83 average days on market, the slow end of its range, and 94 active listings against a five-year June norm of 57.

How Do 32827 and 32832 Compare?

32827 priced higher and moved its single-family homes faster; 32832 sold more homes and was the only ZIP code whose median rose year over year.

June 2026 by segment, with five-year June averages in brackets
Segment Closings Median sold price vs Jun 2025 Avg days on market Sale to original list Contract ratio
32827 single-family 41 $783,153 −8.0% 47 (54) 94.7% (96.8%) 0.40 (0.64)
32827 condo / townhome 12 $452,500 −8.5% 77 (49) 94.6% (97.5%) 0.14 (1.14)
32832 single-family 42 $635,000 +2.4% 51 (37) 95.7% (97.4%) 0.31 (0.53)
32832 condo / townhome 23 $391,000 −2.3% 83 (37) 95.0% (97.9%) 0.23 (0.61)

One caution before reading that table too closely: the 32827 condo and townhome figures rest on 12 sales. That clears the threshold where a median becomes unusable, but it is still few enough that one atypical transaction moves it. The two single-family medians, built on 41 and 42 sales apiece, are the reliable readings here.

32827 covers the Laureate Park side and produced 56 closings at a $690,750 median, averaging 55 days on market and 4.0 months of supply. 32832 covers the Eagle Creek and Storey Park side and produced 65 closings at a $540,000 median, averaging 62 days and 3.4 months of supply.

Why 32832's median rose while its average fell 16.8%. Attached homes went from 13 of 49 sales in June 2025 to 23 of 65 this June — from about 27% of the market to about 35%. Because attached homes average roughly half what detached homes do in this ZIP code, that shift drags the average down without telling you anything about what an individual home is worth. Holding last June's property mix constant, the average decline works out closer to 12.7% than 16.8%. The median, which is far less sensitive to mix, rose 1.9%.

The 32827 decline is a different case. There the median fell 10.3% and the average 13.8% while the attached share barely moved — 20.9% of sales a year ago against 21.4% this June. Mix does not explain that one; the detached segment's own average sold price fell 10.8% year over year.

Six-month figures are steadier than any single month, and they tell a milder story than June alone. Year to date through June, the median is down 2.1% for 32827 single-family homes and up 1.1% for 32832 single-family homes. The attached segments are weaker: down 10.0% year to date in 32827 and 4.5% in 32832.

Which Price Ranges Were Moving?

The $600,000 to $800,000 range cleared fastest in both ZIP codes, while everything above $800,000 in 32827 carried nearly twice the supply of everything below it.

June 2026 closings and active listings by price range
Price range Sold, 32827 Active, 32827 Sold, 32832 Active, 32832
Under $300,000 1 1 2 7
$300,000 – $399,999 5 17 12 39
$400,000 – $499,999 10 32 12 58
$500,000 – $599,999 5 28 15 38
$600,000 – $799,999 15 30 15 38
$800,000 – $999,999 8 44 2 13
$1,000,000 and above 12 70 7 28

Your own price range matters more than the market-wide figure. In 32827, the 36 homes that sold below $800,000 faced 108 competing listings — three months of supply. The 20 that sold above $800,000 faced 114 — 5.7 months. The split in 32832 is milder: 3.2 months below $800,000 and 4.6 above.

The single deepest band in Lake Nona is 32832's $400,000 to $500,000 range, with 58 active listings against 12 sales, and 45 of those 58 are condos or townhomes. The tightest is 32827's $600,000 to $800,000 range, where 30 listings met 15 closings — two months of supply, which is a seller's number in an otherwise buyer-leaning market.

Lake Nona remains a large-home market. Of the 118 June closings with a bedroom count reported, 71 — 60% — had four or more bedrooms, 43 had three, and four had two or fewer. Bedroom count drives price more than ZIP code does: in 32827 a four-plus-bedroom single-family home averaged $1,161,569 across 32 sales, in 32832 $748,146 across 36. The three-bedroom single-family averages, $586,215 in 32827 and $492,917 in 32832, rest on nine and six sales respectively and should be read as indicative only.

Timing split the same way it has all year. 28% of June's closings went under contract within ten days, while 14% took more than 120 days. Both extremes occurred in the same month, and which side a home lands on is mostly a question of price.

What Should You Watch Next?

Whether the sale-to-original-list ratio climbs back off the floor of its five-year range over the summer is the number that will tell you which way this market turns.

June answered one open question and raised another. Volume is not the problem: 121 closings and a year-over-year inventory decline are both healthier than anything in the first quarter. What June showed is the price it took to get there — three of four segments closing at the bottom of their five-year range for share of asking price, and all four contract ratios below their June norms.

Two things to watch through the second half. First, whether that sale-to-list ratio recovers as summer volume works through the standing inventory, or whether it stays at the floor and the discount becomes the new baseline. Second, whether 32832's inventory decline continues; it is the only part of Lake Nona where the listing count is genuinely falling, and it is also where prices held up best.

Thinking about buying or selling in Lake Nona? A market-wide median is a starting point, not an answer for your street, your price range or your kind of home — and June's data has those three pulling in noticeably different directions.

Lake Nona Market: Frequently Asked Questions

What was the median home price in Lake Nona in June 2026?

It depends which part of Lake Nona and which kind of home. In 32827 the median sold price was $690,750 across all property types, and in 32832 it was $540,000. Broken out further: single-family homes ran a $783,153 median in 32827 and $635,000 in 32832, while condos and townhomes ran $452,500 and $391,000 respectively.

Is Lake Nona a buyer's market or a seller's market in 2026?

June leaned toward buyers on price, but less uniformly than earlier in the year. Sellers closed at the bottom of their plotted five-year June range for share of original asking price in three of the four segments, and contract activity relative to supply ran 37% to 88% below its five-year June average in every segment. Against that, 121 homes closed — 32% more than in June 2025 — and single-family homes in 32827 sold faster than a normal June. Buyers held the leverage on price; they did not have the market to themselves.

How much inventory is there in Lake Nona right now?

There were 447 active listings at the end of June, 226 in 32827 and 221 in 32832. Against 121 closings that month, that works out to roughly 3.7 months of supply, or 4.0 months in 32827 and 3.4 months in 32832. That sits below the six-month line conventionally used to separate a buyer's market from a seller's market, but June closings run well above the winter months, which flatters the figure — a normal June works out closer to 3.1 months.

How long does it take to sell a home in Lake Nona?

In June the average was 55 days in 32827 and 62 days in 32832, but the segments split sharply. Single-family homes in 32827 averaged 47 days, 13% below their five-year June average of 54 and down from 88 days a year earlier. Condos and townhomes in 32832 averaged 83 days against a five-year June norm of 37, which is the slow end of the plotted five-year range for that segment.

How much below asking price are Lake Nona homes selling for?

The average June closing came in at 94.8% of the original list price in 32827 and 95.5% in 32832. All four Lake Nona segments finished below their five-year June averages on this measure, and three of them — 32827 single-family, 32827 condos and townhomes, and 32832 condos and townhomes — sat at the bottom of their plotted five-year June range. This is the clearest sign of buyer leverage in the June data.

How many homes sold in Lake Nona in June 2026?

121 homes closed through the MLS: 56 in 32827 and 65 in 32832. That is up from 92 in June 2025, an increase of about 32%, and both ZIP codes are running ahead of last year through six months — 237 closings against 194 in 32827, and 325 against 284 in 32832.

Does this report include new construction sales?

Only the new construction that was reported through the MLS. Builders frequently sell directly from a sales office without ever listing the home, and those closings do not appear in this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in Orlando, so the true number of homes sold in June was almost certainly higher than the 121 counted here, and the resale market is represented more completely than the builder market.

How many Lake Nona buyers pay cash?

About 25% of June closings were cash — 30 of 121. Conventional financing accounted for 67 sales, VA loans for 12 and FHA for seven. That cash share is lower than the roughly one-third recorded in January. It is worth knowing if you are financing, because on a home that draws competing offers a cash buyer can beat a higher financed one.

Did Lake Nona home prices go up or down in June 2026?

The two ZIP codes moved in opposite directions. The 32827 median fell 10.3% from June 2025 to $690,750, while the 32832 median rose 1.9% to $540,000. Six-month figures are steadier than any single month: year to date through June, the median is down 2.1% for 32827 single-family homes and up 1.1% for 32832 single-family homes, with both condo and townhome segments down — 10.0% in 32827 and 4.5% in 32832.

Where these numbers come from. MarketStats by ShowingTime, Local Market Insight and Detailed Report editions for ZIP codes 32827 and 32832, June 2026. Data source: Stellar MLS. Statistics calculated July 7, 2026.

New construction is under-counted. Builders often sell directly from a sales office without listing the home on the MLS, and those closings never enter this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in the region, so the real number of homes sold in June was very likely higher than 121. That matters most for months of supply, which divides listings by sales: if sales are under-counted, the supply figure reads higher than the true one. It also inflates the cash share reported here, since builder buyers skew toward financing. The resale market is represented far more completely than the builder market.

ZIP codes are not neighborhood boundaries. 32827 and 32832 are the closest available proxy for the Lake Nona area, but each covers ground that residents would not call Lake Nona, and no ZIP boundary lines up with a neighborhood. For what a specific community is doing, a neighborhood-level look will beat a ZIP-level one every time.

Small samples move a lot. The thinnest segment this month is 32827 condos and townhomes, whose $452,500 median rests on 12 closings. Thinner still are the three-bedroom single-family averages, drawn from nine sales in 32827 and six in 32832; those are flagged where they appear. Single-month changes in a market this size are directional at best.

On "the end of the five-year range." The Local Market Insight reports plot each figure against a five-year range for the same month. Where this report says a segment sits at the top or bottom of its range, it means the June 2026 reading sits at the end of that plotted range for June.

Two definitions worth knowing. Days on market and the sale-to-original-list ratio are reported here as averages, which is how the source publishes them; a few long-listed or deeply discounted homes pull an average further than they would a median. The contract ratio is pending sales divided by active listings, so a falling ratio means contract activity is shrinking relative to supply.

On the two-stage discount. The source publishes two different sale-to-original-list figures: an average of each home's own ratio (94.8% and 95.5%) and a ratio of the average sold price to the average original list price (93.2% and 94.8%). The 6.8% and 5.2% total discounts, and the before-offer and at-the-table split, are all computed on the second basis so that both halves sit on the same footing. The headline sale-to-original-list figures quoted elsewhere on this page are the first.

On combining the two ZIP codes. Counts such as closings, active listings and months of supply are added across ZIP codes. Median prices are not, because a median of two medians is not a median — those are reported separately throughout, which is also the more useful comparison given how differently the two areas priced this month.

Two small gaps in the source. In 32827 the Sold Detail bedroom grid accounts for 53 of the 56 closings, so bedroom shares on this page are calculated on the 118 Lake Nona closings that carry a bedroom count rather than all 121. The 32827 Active Detail price bands total 222 against an Inventory box figure of 226, the difference being property types outside the single-family and attached categories; the ZIP-level and months-of-supply figures use 226.

Lake Nona Market Report May 2026 | Prices & Trends

What's on this page

May 2026 in One Paragraph

One hundred eight homes closed through the MLS across Lake Nona's two ZIP codes in May, at a median of $705,000 in 32827 and $568,742 in 32832. For the first time in this year's reports, inventory did not build: 425 homes were on the market at month end against 455 a year earlier, and the count fell in both ZIP codes. At May's sales pace that is roughly 3.9 months of supply.

The two halves of Lake Nona got there in opposite ways. In 32832, single-family homes and attached homes each recorded their slowest May and their widest gap between original asking price and sale price anywhere in the plotted five-year range — 64 days and 116 days respectively. In 32827, both segments sold faster than their five-year May norm and closer to asking than a year ago. One market, two directions.

How Much Is For Sale, and How Does That Compare?

Lake Nona ended May with fewer homes for sale than a year earlier, and still about 46% more than a typical May of the past five years.

Both statements are true and neither cancels the other. 425 homes were listed at month end, down from 455 in May 2025, with the count falling in 32827 and falling harder in 32832. Measured against the five-year May average for each segment, though, supply is still well above normal, and the two attached segments each finished at the top of their plotted five-year May range.

The table adds a second comparison that a raw count cannot give you: months of supply now, against the same ratio built from each segment's five-year May averages for listings and sales. That is the closest this data comes to a normal reading.

Chart comparing Lake Nona active listings in May 2026 against the five-year May average by segment
Active listings, May 2026 against the five-year May average.

One reason not to read the percentages too literally. Lake Nona has added housing quickly over the past five years, so part of that gap against the five-year average is simply more homes existing rather than more homes struggling to sell. The stock-neutral measures — months of supply, days on market, the sale-to-original-list ratio and the contract ratio — carry the argument here, and this month they do not all point the same way. That divergence is the story.

Six months of supply is the conventional line between a buyer's and a seller's market. Lake Nona sat at roughly 3.9 months in May, with 32827 at 5.6 and 32832 at 3.0. Both are under the line at the ZIP level — but 32827's condo and townhome segment sits at about 8.8 months, more than double what its five-year May figures imply is normal.

What Does the May Data Mean if You're Buying?

You still have more to choose from than a normal May, but you have more company than you did a year ago.

Contract activity came back. Across the two ZIP codes there were 173 pending contracts at the end of May against 111 a year earlier, and the contract ratio — pending sales per active listing, which MarketStats reads as a demand-versus-supply gauge — rose year over year in every one of the four segments. That is a real change from the earlier months of this year.

What has not changed is the level. All four contract ratios still sit far below their own five-year May norms: 52% below in 32827 single-family, 87% below in 32827 condos and townhomes, 50% and 61% below on the 32832 side. Rising from a low base is still a low base, and the gap left to close is large.

Worth knowing if you are financing: only about 17% of May closings were cash — 18 of 108. Conventional loans covered 73, FHA eight and VA six. That is a low cash share, which means a well-qualified financed offer was not automatically at a disadvantage this month the way it is when a third of the market pays cash.

Where to be careful: speed is not evenly distributed. 36 of the 108 May sales — a third — closed within ten days of listing, and 15 of those at zero days on market, meaning they were effectively spoken for before they hit the MLS. Strip the zero-day sales out and the arithmetic average rises from 49 to about 61 days in 32827 and from 77 to about 86 in 32832. Well-priced and pre-sold homes still move immediately; the leverage sits with the aged inventory, and 24% of May's closings had been listed more than 120 days.

What Does the May Data Mean if You're Selling?

The average 32827 closing gave up 4.5% from its original asking price and the average 32832 closing 5.3% — and in 32832 that was the deepest May discount in the plotted five-year range for both single-family and attached homes.

The sale-to-original-list ratio came in at 95.5% in 32827 and 94.7% in 32832, and the direction matters more than the level. 32827 improved on last May's 94.1%. 32832 fell from 96.5% and landed at the bottom of its plotted five-year May range in both segments — 95.3% for single-family homes, 92.9% for condos and townhomes.

That figure also hides a two-step story. Measured as a ratio of averages, May closings came in at 96.1% of the original ask in 32827 and 94.3% in 32832, against 97.6% and 97.8% of the final ask. The difference — about a point and a half in 32827, three and a half in 32832 — is the reduction sellers made before an offer ever arrived. The rest came out of the negotiation.

New listings tell you what you are up against. Sellers brought 151 new listings to market in May against 108 closings, so supply still arrived faster than it cleared. The reason inventory fell anyway is 32832: new listings there dropped to 75 from 96 a year earlier, a 22% reduction in fresh competition. In 32827, new listings were flat at 76 against 75.

The number to plan around: average days on market ran 49 in 32827 and 77 in 32832. If you are selling in 32832, count backward from roughly three months plus closing time and price for a buyer who has seen your listing sit. If you are selling in 32827, the timeline is closer to normal — but 40 sales against 223 listings means most of that inventory did not sell at all.

If you own a condo or townhome, take particular note. Both attached segments ended May at the top of their five-year May range for active listings, and both attached medians came in below their five-year May averages while both single-family medians came in above. That combination — more competing supply, softer pricing — is the clearest signal in this month's data.

How Do 32827 and 32832 Compare?

32827 is the higher-priced side and sold faster than its own norm; 32832 sold more homes but took longer and discounted deeper than in any May of the past five years.

One caution before the comparison: the 32827 condo and townhome median rests on just six sales, and a median drawn from six homes moves sharply on one unusual transaction. The 32832 single-family figure, built on 51 sales, is the most reliable of the four.

32827 covers the Laureate Park side and produced 40 closings at a $705,000 median, averaging 49 days on market and 5.6 months of supply. 32832 covers the Eagle Creek and Storey Park side and produced 68 closings at a $568,742 median, averaging 77 days and 3.0 months of supply.

Segment conditions against the five-year May average
Segment Median 5-yr median Avg days 5-yr days Sale-to-original-list 5-yr ratio
32827 single-family $845,700 $782,540 46 49 95.7% 97.0%
32827 condo / townhome $445,000 $463,739 48 55 94.3% 95.4%
32832 single-family $644,000 $597,869 64 37 95.3% 97.9%
32832 condo / townhome $400,000 $417,020 116 49 92.9% 97.9%

Read that table down the median columns and a pattern appears that cuts across the ZIP codes: both single-family medians came in above their five-year May average, and both attached medians came in below. Read it across the days and ratio columns and the split is by ZIP instead. Where you are and what you own are both doing work, and they are not doing the same work.

A note on 32827's headline price decline. The 32827 median fell 11.2% from May 2025 and the average fell 9.1%, and the usual explanation — a shift toward cheaper attached homes — does not apply. Attached homes were 15% of 32827 sales this May against 20% a year earlier, a shift that should have pushed the median up. Holding last year's mix constant, the average decline works out to 9.3% rather than 9.1% — if anything marginally worse, not better.

The source points somewhere more specific. Single-family homes with four or more bedrooms averaged $1,078,270 in May against $1,263,759 a year earlier, on 24 sales versus 25 — a like-for-like drop of about 15% in the segment that sets 32827's headline number. Three-bedroom single-family homes in the same ZIP rose 2.9%. The weakness in 32827 is concentrated at the top, not spread across the market.

Which Price Ranges Were Moving?

The $600,000 to $800,000 range led closings in both ZIP codes, and the deepest imbalance between listings and sales sits above $1 million in 32827.

May 2026 closings and active listings by price range
Price range Sold, 32827 Active, 32827 Sold, 32832 Active, 32832
Under $300,000 0 0 1 5
$300,000 – $399,999 1 17 9 34
$400,000 – $499,999 8 26 17 54
$500,000 – $599,999 2 21 10 37
$600,000 – $799,999 12 38 19 32
$800,000 – $999,999 9 40 2 11
$1,000,000 and above 8 76 10 29

Your own price range matters more than the market-wide figure. In 32827, 76 homes were listed above $1 million against eight that sold — roughly nine and a half months of supply, and 35% of everything listed in that ZIP code. In 32832 the same band carried 29 listings against 10 sales, under three months. The million-dollar market is not one market.

The tightest band anywhere in Lake Nona was 32832 between $600,000 and $800,000: 32 active listings against 19 closings, well under two months of supply. The loosest below the top end was 32832 at $400,000 to $500,000, where 54 listings competed for 17 sales.

Lake Nona is a large-home market, and May underlined it: 75 of the 106 closings with a bedroom count reported — 71% — had four or more bedrooms, 29 had three, and only two had two or fewer. Bedroom count drives price more than ZIP code does. In 32827 a three-bedroom single-family home averaged $626,125 while a four-plus averaged $1,078,270; in 32832 the same step ran $547,153 to $760,238.

What Should You Watch Next?

Whether 32832's discounting stabilises now that fewer sellers are listing there is the number that will tell you which way this market turns.

Two forces are pulling against each other. Fewer new listings in 32832 — 75 against 96 a year earlier — should relieve pressure on price over the coming months if it holds. Against that, 116-day average marketing times in the attached segment mean a lot of the inventory still on the market has been sitting a while, and aged listings tend to close at wider discounts than fresh ones. Watch whether the sale-to-original-list ratio in 32832 climbs back off the bottom of its range, and whether the contract ratios keep the year-over-year improvement they showed in May.

Thinking about buying or selling in Lake Nona? A market-wide median is a starting point, not an answer for your street, your price range or your kind of home — and this month those three things point in different directions depending on which side of Lake Nona you are on and whether your home is attached or detached.

Lake Nona Market: Frequently Asked Questions

What was the median home price in Lake Nona in May 2026?

It depends which part of Lake Nona and which kind of home. In 32827 the median sold price was $705,000 across all property types, and in 32832 it was $568,742. Broken out further: single-family homes ran an $845,700 median in 32827 and $644,000 in 32832, while condos and townhomes ran $445,000 and $400,000 respectively. The 32827 attached figure rests on only six closings, so treat it as indicative rather than precise.

Is Lake Nona a buyer's market or a seller's market in 2026?

May does not give one answer, and the honest reading is that the two ZIP codes are in different places. Across both, active inventory still ran about 46% above the five-year May average and the contract ratio sat 50% to 87% below its five-year May norm in every segment, which favours buyers. But inventory fell year over year in both ZIP codes, pending sales rose to 173 from 111, and 32827 sold faster than its own five-year May norm. Where they split: 32827 carries more supply relative to sales, at 5.6 months against 3.0, yet sells more quickly and closer to asking, while 32832 clears its inventory faster but took the deepest May discounts in its plotted five-year range.

How much inventory is there in Lake Nona right now?

There were 425 active listings at the end of May, 223 in 32827 and 202 in 32832, down from 455 a year earlier. Against 108 closings that month, that works out to roughly 3.9 months of supply overall, 5.6 months in 32827 and 3.0 months in 32832. Six months is the conventional dividing line between a buyer's and a seller's market, so both ZIP codes sit below it — but the 32827 condo and townhome segment sits well above at about 8.8 months.

How long does it take to sell a home in Lake Nona?

In May the average was 49 days in 32827 and 77 days in 32832, and the two moved in opposite directions from a year earlier — 32827 down from 72 days, 32832 up from 52. Both 32832 segments recorded their slowest May anywhere in the plotted five-year range: single-family homes averaged 64 days against a five-year May average of 37, and condos and townhomes averaged 116 days against 49.

How much below asking price are Lake Nona homes selling for?

The average May closing came in at 95.5% of the original list price in 32827 and 94.7% in 32832 — roughly 4.5% and 5.3% below where the seller started. In 32832 that was the widest May gap in the plotted five-year range, in both the single-family and the attached segment. In 32827 it was an improvement on the 94.1% recorded in May 2025.

How many homes sold in Lake Nona in May 2026?

One hundred eight homes closed through the MLS: 40 in 32827 and 68 in 32832. That is down from 131 in May 2025, and both ZIP codes also came in under their five-year May averages for closed sales. Volume fell while inventory fell alongside it, which is why months of supply still improved.

Does this report include new construction sales?

Only the new construction that was reported through the MLS. Builders frequently sell directly from a sales office without ever listing the home, and those closings do not appear in this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in Orlando, so the true number of homes sold in May was almost certainly higher than the 108 counted here, and the resale market is represented more completely than the builder market.

How many Lake Nona buyers pay cash?

About 17% of May closings were cash — 18 of 108. Conventional financing accounted for 73 sales, with FHA covering eight and VA six. A cash share near one in six is on the low side for this market, which means most contracts this month carried an appraisal and a financing contingency, and a well-qualified financed buyer was not automatically at a disadvantage.

Are condos and townhomes a better value in Lake Nona than single-family homes?

They carry a much lower entry price — a $400,000 median in 32832 and $445,000 in 32827, against $644,000 and $845,700 for single-family homes. But attached housing is where this market is softest. Both condo and townhome segments ended May at the top of their plotted five-year range for active listings, 32832's attached homes averaged 116 days to sell, and attached medians in both ZIP codes came in below their five-year May averages while single-family medians came in above. More choice for a buyer, more competition for a seller.

Where these numbers come from. MarketStats by ShowingTime, Local Market Insight and Detailed Report editions for ZIP codes 32827 and 32832, May 2026. Data source: Stellar MLS. Statistics calculated July 07, 2026.

New construction is under-counted. Builders often sell directly from a sales office without listing the home on the MLS, and those closings never enter this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in the region, so the real number of homes sold in May was very likely higher than 108. That matters most for months of supply, which divides listings by sales: if sales are under-counted, the supply figure reads higher than the true one. It also inflates the cash share, since builder buyers skew financed. The resale market is represented far more completely here than the builder market.

ZIP codes are not neighborhood boundaries. 32827 and 32832 are the closest available proxy for the Lake Nona area, but each covers ground that residents would not call Lake Nona, and no ZIP boundary lines up with a neighborhood. For what a specific community is doing, a neighborhood-level look will beat a ZIP-level one every time.

Small samples move a lot. Some segments here rest on very few sales — the 32827 condo and townhome median comes from six closings, and its year-ago comparison from nine. Single-month changes in a segment that thin are directional at best. The 32832 single-family figures, built on 51 sales, are the most reliable in this report.

On "at the top of the five-year range." The Local Market Insight reports plot each figure against a five-year range for the same month. Where this report says a segment is at the top or bottom of its range, it means the May 2026 reading sits at the end of that plotted range. Segment-level counts in 32827 sum to 38 closings and 218 active listings against ZIP-level totals of 40 and 223, because a small number of records fall outside the single-family and attached property-type breakdowns; that is also why the bedroom mix totals 106 rather than 108.

On the "at 5-year averages" column. That column is months of supply calculated from each segment's published five-year May average for active listings and its published five-year May average for closed sales. It is a derived comparison, not a figure the source publishes, and it is offered as a rough baseline rather than a precise historical value.

Two definitions worth knowing. Days on market and the sale-to-original-list ratio are reported here as averages, which is how the source publishes them; a small number of long-listed or deeply discounted homes pulls an average further than it would a median. The contract ratio is pending sales divided by active listings, so a falling ratio means contract activity is shrinking relative to supply.

On combining the two ZIP codes. Counts such as closings, active listings and months of supply are added across ZIP codes. Median prices are not, because a median of two medians is not a median — those are reported separately throughout, which is also the more useful comparison given how differently the two areas behaved this month.

Lake Nona Market Report April 2026: 100 Homes Sold

What's on this page

April 2026 in One Paragraph

One hundred homes closed through the MLS across Lake Nona's two ZIP codes in April, at a median of $775,000 in 32827 and $571,500 in 32832. Both ZIP-wide medians were higher than a year earlier, and both ZIP codes finished under six months of supply. On the headline numbers, April looks like a market that steadied.

The measure that did not steady is what sellers gave up. Three of the four segments — single-family homes in both ZIP codes, and condos and townhomes in 32832 — recorded a sale-to-original-list ratio sitting at the bottom of their plotted five-year April range. Volume came back. It came back at a discount.

How Much Is For Sale, and How Does That Compare?

Three of Lake Nona's four segments ended April with more homes for sale than in any April of the past five years, but the build is coming from slower selling rather than a rush of new sellers.

418 homes were on the market at month end across the two ZIP codes. Measured across the four reported segments, active listings ran about 52% above their five-year April average, and single-family homes in 32827, condos and townhomes in 32827, and condos and townhomes in 32832 each sat at the top of their own five-year range for the month — not near it, at it.

What makes April different from earlier in the year is where that inventory came from. New listings across the four segments totalled 156 against a five-year April average of about 144, and closings totalled 100 against a five-year average of about 97. Both flows were close to normal. Homes are accumulating because they are taking longer to clear, not because sellers arrived in unusual numbers.

The exception is worth naming. Single-family homes in 32832 are the one segment carrying fewer listings than a year ago — 116 against 144 in April 2025 — and the one segment not at the top of its five-year range. New listings there fell 18.6% year over year while closings rose 26.5%. That is the only corner of Lake Nona where supply is being worked down rather than up.

One reason not to read the percentages too literally. Lake Nona has added housing quickly over the past five years, so part of any inventory increase is simply more homes existing rather than more homes struggling to sell. That caveat applies with less force this month than usual: if growth alone explained the gap, new listings and closings would be running well above their five-year norms too, and they are not. Still, months of supply, days on market and the contract ratio are the measures unaffected by how much has been built, and those carry the argument here rather than the raw counts.

Six months of supply is the conventional line between a buyer's and a seller's market. Lake Nona sat at roughly 4.2 months in April — 5.3 in 32827 and 3.4 in 32832 — so on supply alone both ZIP codes fell on the seller's side of the line, and single-family homes in 32832 at 2.7 months are the tightest segment in the area. Hold that thought against the pricing data in the next two sections, because the two are not saying the same thing.

What Does the April Data Mean if You're Buying?

Your leverage this month is in price, not in choice — sellers accepted a wider gap between asking and selling than in any April of the past five years in three of the four segments.

The sale-to-original-list ratio is the clearest measure of that. It compares the closing price to what the seller first asked, so it captures both the price cuts along the way and the final negotiation. In April, single-family homes in 32827 closed at 93.7% of the original ask, single-family in 32832 at 94.2%, and condos and townhomes in 32832 at 89.2%. All three sit at the bottom of their plotted five-year April range. The 32827 attached segment, at 95.3%, is the only one with room beneath it.

Average sale-to-original-list ratio against the five-year April range
Segment April 2026 5-year April average Bottom of 5-year range
32827 single-family 93.7% 97.0% 93.7% — at the floor
32827 condo / townhome 95.3% 96.4% 93.0%
32832 single-family 94.2% 98.1% 94.2% — at the floor
32832 condo / townhome 89.2% 97.2% 89.2% — at the floor

Contract activity relative to supply tells a more mixed story than it did in January. The contract ratio — pending sales per active listing — came in at 0.36 for 32827 single-family, 0.21 for 32827 condos and townhomes, 0.54 for 32832 single-family and 0.34 for 32832 condos and townhomes, running 51% to 81% below their five-year April averages. But three of those four figures were higher than a year earlier, and two rose from March. MarketStats reads a falling contract ratio as the market moving in the buyer's favour; on that measure the move in the buyer's favour has slowed, even though it has not reversed.

One segment is still moving the other way. Condos and townhomes in 32827 posted the lowest contract ratio in Lake Nona at 0.21, down from 0.26 in March and 0.24 a year earlier — the only segment weaker on that measure than it was last April.

Worth knowing if you are financing: about 26% of April closings were cash — 26 of 100. Conventional loans covered 60, VA eight and FHA five. On a home that draws multiple offers, a cash buyer can beat a higher financed offer, so the strength of your financing matters as much as your number.

Where to be careful: 20 of the 100 April sales went under contract within ten days of listing, 13 of them in 32832. Well-priced homes still move quickly, and the leverage in this market sits with the aged listings rather than with everything on the market.

What Does the April Data Mean if You're Selling?

The average April closing finished 5.8% below its original asking price in 32827 and 7.2% below in 32832, and about half of that reduction came off the asking price before a buyer ever made an offer.

The source publishes a second, like-for-like version of the same idea: average sold price measured against average asking price. On that basis, 32827 closings came in at 93.1% of the original ask and 96.2% of the final ask, and 32832 at 91.9% and 95.7%. The three to four points between each pair is the reduction sellers made before an offer arrived; the rest came out of the negotiation. Sellers are cutting first and negotiating second, and in three of the four segments the sale-to-original-list ratio finished at the bottom of its plotted five-year April range.

The supply arithmetic is friendlier than it was in winter. Sellers brought 157 new listings to market in April against 100 closings. Supply still grew faster than it cleared, but the gap narrowed considerably from the start of the year, and in 32832 new listings actually fell 4.9% year over year.

The number to plan around: average days on market ran 67 in 32827 and 87 in 32832, and the two moved in opposite directions — 32827 was 25% faster than April 2025, while 32832 was 71% slower. Both still ran above their five-year April norms. If you need to be somewhere by a certain date, count backward from roughly two to three months plus closing time, then price for the market described above rather than the one from two years ago.

If you own a condo or townhome in 32832, this is the month to pay attention. That segment carried 89 active listings against 17 sales, about 93% more inventory than its five-year April average, and closed at 89.2% of the original asking price — the widest discount of any Lake Nona segment and the bottom of its plotted five-year range. Homes there averaged 96 days on market against a five-year April norm of 44.

How Do 32827 and 32832 Compare?

32832 sold half again as many homes at a lower median, but 32827 was the only ZIP code where homes sold faster than a year earlier.

One caution before the comparison: the 32827 condo and townhome median rests on 11 sales, and a median drawn from 11 homes moves sharply on one or two unusual transactions. Treat the single-family figures, built on 29 and 43 sales, as the more reliable of the four.

32827 covers the Laureate Park side and produced 40 closings at a $775,000 median, with homes averaging 67 days on market and 5.3 months of supply. Its single-family median of $900,000 was up 5.9% year over year and 7.5% from March. 32832 covers the Eagle Creek and Storey Park side and produced 60 closings at a $571,500 median, averaging 87 days and 3.4 months of supply. Its single-family median of $649,715 was up 1.1% year over year.

The two ZIP codes also differ in how their inventory is shaped. In 32827, 162 of the 209 listings behind these segment figures are single-family and 72 of them are priced above $1 million. In 32832, 89 of 205 are condos or townhomes, and 78 of those 89 sit between $300,000 and $500,000. These are two different problems for two different sets of sellers.

A caution on the 32832 attached median. The condo and townhome median in 32832 came in at $345,000, 13.3% below April 2025, and that figure needs context before anyone reads it as a price collapse. The mix of what sold changed sharply: in April 2025, 16 of the 19 attached closings were three-bedroom units, while in April 2026 only nine of 17 were, and six had two bedrooms or fewer against two a year earlier. Those smaller units averaged $250,167. A large part of the decline reflects which attached homes sold rather than what attached homes are worth.

The segment did weaken on its own terms too — 89.2% of original list is the bottom of its plotted five-year April range, and 96 days on market is the top. Both things are true; they should not be added together.

Which Price Ranges Were Moving?

The $600,000 to $800,000 range led closings across both ZIP codes, but the thickest inventory relative to sales sits above $1 million in 32827 and below $400,000 in 32832.

April 2026 closings and active listings by price range
Price range Sold, 32827 Active, 32827 Sold, 32832 Active, 32832
Under $300,000 0 0 7 5
$300,000 – $399,999 3 13 5 36
$400,000 – $499,999 5 27 12 52
$500,000 – $599,999 3 13 11 35
$600,000 – $799,999 9 45 12 34
$800,000 – $999,999 10 39 4 11
$1,000,000 and above 10 72 9 32

Your own price range matters more than the market-wide figure. In 32827, 72 homes were listed above $1 million against ten that sold — about 7.2 months of supply at April's pace, against 5.3 months for the ZIP code as a whole. In 32832, the $300,000 to $399,999 band carried 36 active listings against five sales, which works out to the same 7.2 months. Opposite ends of the price scale, identical arithmetic, and every one of those 36 listings in 32832 is a condo or townhome.

The tightest bands were both in 32832: $600,000 to $799,999 at 34 listings against 12 sales, and $800,000 to $999,999 at 11 against four — both under three months of supply. A four-bedroom detached home in that price range in 32832 was competing with relatively little this April.

Lake Nona is a large-home market, and April underlined it: 62 of the 100 closings had four or more bedrooms, 30 had three, and eight had two or fewer. Bedroom count drives price more than ZIP code does. In 32827 a three-bedroom single-family home averaged $861,922 while a four-plus averaged $1,179,739; in 32832 the same step ran $556,650 to $884,328.

Timing split the same way it has all year. Twenty of April's closings went under contract within ten days, while 24 took more than 120 days — and 18 of those 24 were in 32832. Both extremes existed in the same month, and which one a given home falls into is mostly a question of price.

What Should You Watch Next?

Whether the sale-to-original-list ratio steadies over the summer is the number that matters most, because three of four segments have no lower April reading in their plotted five-year range.

Two things are pulling in opposite directions. Contract ratios rose from March in two segments and from a year earlier in three, and new listings in 32832 fell year over year — both of which point to supply coming back into balance. Against that, sellers are conceding more than they have in any recent April, and days on market in 32832 sat at the top of the five-year range in both segments. If discounts hold at April's level while volume stays normal, the medians will start to follow. If sellers keep withholding listings the way 32832 did, the supply side corrects first.

Lake Nona Market: Frequently Asked Questions

What was the median home price in Lake Nona in April 2026?

It depends which part of Lake Nona and which kind of home. In 32827 the median sold price was $775,000 across all property types, and in 32832 it was $571,500. Broken out further: single-family homes ran a $900,000 median in 32827 and $649,715 in 32832, while condos and townhomes ran $460,000 and $345,000 respectively. Both ZIP-wide medians were higher than a year earlier.

Is Lake Nona a buyer's market or a seller's market in 2026?

April's data splits, which is different from earlier in the year. On supply alone Lake Nona looks balanced to tight: 4.2 months across both ZIP codes, and only 2.7 months for single-family homes in 32832. On price it looks like a buyer's market: three of the four segments recorded a sale-to-original-list ratio at the bottom of their plotted five-year April range, and contract ratios ran 51% to 81% below their five-year April averages. Buyers are not winning on choice so much as on price.

How much inventory is there in Lake Nona right now?

There were 418 active listings at the end of April, 213 in 32827 and 205 in 32832. Against 100 closings that month, this works out to roughly 4.2 months of supply, or 5.3 months in 32827 and 3.4 months in 32832. Six months is the conventional dividing line between a buyer's and a seller's market, so both ZIP codes sat under it.

How long does it take to sell a home in Lake Nona?

In April the average was 67 days in 32827 and 87 days in 32832, and the two ZIP codes moved in opposite directions: 32827 was 25% faster than a year earlier while 32832 was 71% slower. Every segment still ran above its five-year April norm. Single-family homes in 32832 averaged 83 days against a five-year average of 42, and condos and townhomes there averaged 96 days against a norm of 44.

How much below asking price are Lake Nona homes selling for?

The average April closing came in at 94.2% of the original list price in 32827 and 92.8% in 32832 — roughly 6% to 7% below where the seller started. Three of the four segments sat at the bottom of their plotted five-year April range on this measure, including single-family homes in both ZIP codes. This is the weakest part of the April data for sellers.

How many homes sold in Lake Nona in April 2026?

One hundred homes closed: 40 in 32827 and 60 in 32832, up from 37 and 53 a year earlier. Across the four segments that is close to the five-year April average of about 97 closings, so sales volume was normal even though inventory was not.

Does this report include new construction sales?

Only the new construction that was reported through the MLS. Builders frequently sell directly from a sales office without ever listing the home, and those closings do not appear in this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in Orlando, so the true number of homes sold in April was almost certainly higher than the 100 counted here, and the resale market is represented more completely than the builder market.

How many Lake Nona buyers pay cash?

About 26% of April closings were cash — 26 of 100. Conventional financing accounted for 60 sales, with VA loans covering eight and FHA five. A cash share near a quarter is worth knowing if you are financing, because a cash offer can outcompete a higher financed one on the same home.

Why did the median condo and townhome price in 32832 fall 13% year over year?

Mostly because different homes sold. In April 2025, 16 of the 19 attached closings in 32832 were three-bedroom units. In April 2026, only nine of 17 were, and six had two bedrooms or fewer against two a year earlier. Those smaller units averaged $250,167. The segment did weaken on its own terms as well — its sale-to-original-list ratio of 89.2% sits at the bottom of the plotted five-year April range — but the mix change and the price change should not be added together.

Where these numbers come from. MarketStats by ShowingTime, Local Market Insight and Detailed Report editions for ZIP codes 32827 and 32832, April 2026. Data source: Stellar MLS. Statistics calculated July 7, 2026.

New construction is under-counted. Builders often sell directly from a sales office without listing the home on the MLS, and those closings never enter this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in the region, so the real number of homes sold in April was very likely higher than 100. That matters most for months of supply, which divides listings by sales: if sales are under-counted, the supply figure reads higher than the true one. It also inflates the cash share, because builder buyers skew toward financing. The resale market is represented far more completely here than the builder market.

ZIP codes are not neighborhood boundaries. 32827 and 32832 are the closest available proxy for the Lake Nona area, but each covers ground that residents would not call Lake Nona, and no ZIP boundary lines up with a neighborhood. For what a specific community is doing, a neighborhood-level look will beat a ZIP-level one every time.

Small samples move a lot. The thinnest segment this month is the 32827 condo and townhome group, whose median rests on 11 closings; the 32832 attached segment rests on 17. Single-month changes in a market this size are directional at best, and a median built on a dozen sales can move several percent on one unusual transaction.

On "the bottom of the five-year range." The Local Market Insight reports plot each figure against a five-year range for the same month. Where this report says a segment sits at the top or bottom of that range, it means the April 2026 reading sits at the end of the plotted range for April.

Two definitions worth knowing. Days on market and the sale-to-original-list ratio are reported here as averages, which is how the source publishes them; a small number of long-listed or deeply discounted homes pulls an average further than it would a median. The contract ratio is pending sales divided by active listings, so a falling ratio means contract activity is shrinking relative to supply.

On combining the two ZIP codes. Counts such as closings, active listings and months of supply are added across ZIP codes. Median prices are not, because a median of two medians is not a median — those are reported separately throughout, which is also the more useful comparison given how differently the two areas priced this month. Active-listing totals differ slightly between the two reports: the Detailed Report counts 213 and 205 for the ZIP codes, while the two Local Market Insight segments in each sum to 209 and 205, because the segment view excludes property types outside single-family and condo/townhome. ZIP-level figures here use the Detailed Report; segment comparisons use the Local Market Insight.

Lake Nona Market Report March 2026 | Prices & Trends

What's on this page

March 2026 in One Paragraph

Ninety-four homes closed through the MLS across Lake Nona's two ZIP codes in March, the strongest month of 2026 so far and up from 75 a year earlier. That volume pulled months of supply down to roughly 4.5 from 5.8 in February. On the headline measure, the market loosened.

It did so by conceding. Three of the four Lake Nona segments recorded both their slowest average days on market and their widest gap between original asking price and sale price anywhere in the plotted five-year March range. Homes are clearing again — after longer on the market and at a bigger discount than any March in the record.

How Much Is For Sale, and How Does That Compare?

Inventory is still well above normal at 419 listings, but March's 94 closings cut months of supply to about 4.5 — the lowest reading of 2026.

Two things moved in opposite directions. Active listings rose again, ending March about 67% above the five-year March average across the four segments. But closings rose faster, from 66 in February to 94 in March, so the ratio of unsold homes to monthly sales fell for the first time this year.

Months of supply is the measure that matters most here, because unlike a raw listing count it is not inflated by how much new housing Lake Nona has added. On that measure both ZIP codes now sit below the conventional six-month line.

Active listings against the five-year March average
Segment March 2026 5-year March average Difference Months of supply
32827 single-family 149 92 +62% 5.1
32827 condo / townhome 43 32 +34% 3.9
32832 single-family 131 81 +62% 3.9
32832 condo / townhome 92 44 +109% 4.8

Two of those four segments finished March at the very top of their plotted five-year range: single-family homes in 32827 at 149 listings, and condos and townhomes in 32832 at 92. The other two came close without reaching it — 32832 single-family at 131 against a range top of 134, and 32827 condos at 43 against 44.

One reason not to read the percentages too literally. Lake Nona has added housing quickly over the past five years, so part of that inventory increase is simply more homes existing rather than more homes struggling to sell. The measures that are not affected by how much has been built — months of supply, days on market and the contract ratio — are the ones carrying the argument on this page, and this month they no longer all point the same way.

The segment figures above cover single-family and condo/townhome listings only. The ZIP-level totals in the fast-facts table are slightly higher for 32827 because that report also counts a small number of listings in other property types.

Six months of supply is the conventional line between a buyer's and a seller's market. Lake Nona sat at roughly 4.5 months in March, down from 5.6 in January and 5.8 in February, with 32827 at 4.8 and 32832 at 4.2. That is a real loosening of the backlog — but supply is only one of four measures, and the other three did not improve.

What Does the March Data Mean if You're Buying?

You are buying into the widest discount from original asking price in the five-year March record, but you are competing with more buyers than in January or February.

The strongest fact on this page is what sellers gave up. In three of the four segments, the average sale closed at the very bottom of its plotted five-year March range for sale-to-original-list ratio: 93.5% in 32827 single-family, 94.8% in 32832 single-family, 93.3% in 32832 condos and townhomes. On a $700,000 asking price, a 93.5% ratio is about $45,500 off where the seller started.

Time on market tells the same story. Three of four segments were the slowest of any March in the plotted range: 101 days for 32827 single-family against a five-year average of 58, 85 days for 32832 single-family against 48, and 100 days for 32832 condos and townhomes against 45. A seller three months into a listing negotiates differently from one three weeks in, and March produced a lot of the former.

Chart comparing Lake Nona average days on market in March 2026 against the five-year March average by segment
Average days on market, March 2026 against the five-year March average.

The contract ratio — pending sales per active listing — still sits far below its five-year March norm in every segment, from 56% below in 32832 single-family to 87% below in 32832 condos and townhomes. MarketStats reads a low ratio as the market sitting in the buyer's favour.

But read the contract ratio against last year, not just the five-year average. In three of the four segments the ratio is higher than it was in March 2025 — 0.36 against 0.28 in 32827 single-family, 0.42 against 0.37 in 32832 single-family, 0.26 against 0.25 in 32827 condos. Only 32832 condos and townhomes fell, from 0.38 to 0.27. The five-year average includes the 2021 and 2022 market, which no one expects to return. Contract activity relative to supply is improving year over year even while it stays far below that historical benchmark.

Worth knowing if you are financing: about 22% of March closings were cash — 21 of 94. Conventional loans covered 54, FHA six and VA five. The cash share has fallen from roughly 31% in January, which modestly improves the odds for a financed offer competing head to head.

Where to be careful: 24 of the 94 March sales closed within ten days of listing, nine of them at zero days on market. Those are largely builder transactions and homes effectively spoken for before they hit the MLS. Exactly the same number — 24 — took more than 120 days. The leverage in this market sits with the aged listings, not with everything on it.

What Does the March Data Mean if You're Selling?

Buyers came back in March, but the average seller still gave up about 5.5% from their original asking price, and most of that came off before an offer arrived.

The sale-to-original-list ratio was 94.6% in 32827 and 94.3% in 32832. The 32832 figure is down from 96.6% a year earlier; 32827 held essentially flat year over year, but its single-family segment still landed at the bottom of the five-year range.

The more useful detail is where the discount happened. Comparing average sold price to the average final asking price gives 95.4% in 32827 and 98.0% in 32832, against original-list ratios of 92.9% and 93.7% on the same basis. In 32832 that means roughly four points of the total discount came off as price reductions before a buyer ever made an offer, and only about two points came out of the negotiation. Homes priced right the first time are not the ones producing these averages.

Supply is still outrunning sales, but by less. Sellers brought 151 new listings to market in March against 94 closings. In January that ratio was 138 to 68. The gap is narrowing, and if it keeps narrowing the inventory build slows.

The number to plan around: average days on market ran 82 in 32827 and 90 in 32832, and both are well above their five-year norms. If you need to be somewhere by a certain date, count backward from roughly three months plus closing time — then price for a market where the average seller conceded 5.5% from their opening number.

If you own a condo or townhome in 32832, this is the segment to watch closely: 92 active listings against a five-year March average of 44, an average of 100 days to sell, and the only segment whose contract ratio fell year over year. Forty of those listings sit in the $300,000 to $399,999 band, against five sales in that band across the whole ZIP code in March.

How Do 32827 and 32832 Compare?

32827 is the higher-priced side and its prices are holding; 32832 sold more homes but saw the sharper price decline.

32827 covers the Laureate Park side and produced 41 closings at a $675,000 median across all property types, averaging 82 days on market and 4.8 months of supply. Its single-family median of $837,000 is actually above the five-year March average of $801,799 and up 7.7% from February, even as that same segment posted its slowest and most-discounted March in the record.

32832 covers the Eagle Creek and Storey Park side and produced 53 closings at a $525,000 median, averaging 90 days and 4.2 months of supply. Its single-family median fell 13.5% year over year to $597,250.

A caution on the 32832 average price. The average sold price in 32832 fell 17.4% year over year, from $681,913 to $562,964 — a much bigger drop than the 5.8% decline in the median. That gap is a mix effect, not a collapse. Attached homes went from 13 of 46 sales to 19 of 53, and sales above $1 million fell from six to three. Holding last March's property mix constant, the average-price decline works out closer to 14% than 17%. The median is the better guide, and it fell 5.8%.

Both condo and townhome medians were flat year over year — $500,000 in 32827 and $415,190 in 32832, each unchanged from March 2025. The declines this month are a single-family story.

One caution before leaning on the segment detail: the 32827 condo and townhome figures rest on 11 sales. That segment is also the one exception to March's discount story, closing at 97.3% of original list while the other three sat at five-year lows. Eleven sales is few enough that one or two unusual transactions move the figure, so treat it as the least reliable number on the page.

Which Price Ranges Were Moving?

The $400,000 to $599,999 range in 32832 cleared fastest; homes above $1 million in 32832 and the $300,000s condo stock are where inventory is deepest relative to sales.

March 2026 closings and active listings by price range
Price range Sold, 32827 Active, 32827 Sold, 32832 Active, 32832
Under $300,000 0 0 4 5
$300,000 – $399,999 3 11 5 41
$400,000 – $499,999 6 20 16 55
$500,000 – $599,999 6 13 11 40
$600,000 – $799,999 10 55 9 37
$800,000 – $999,999 6 33 5 13
$1,000,000 and above 10 60 3 32

Your own price range matters more than the market-wide figure. In 32832, 32 homes were listed above $1 million against three that sold — close to eleven months of supply at March's pace. The $300,000 to $399,999 band in the same ZIP carried 41 listings against five sales, about eight months, and 40 of those listings were condos or townhomes.

The top of the 32827 market improved noticeably. Ten homes sold above $1 million there in March against 60 active listings, six months of supply — against more than twelve months in January. That range is clearing now, just slowly and at a discount.

Lake Nona is a large-home market, and March underlined it: 55 of the 93 closings with a bedroom count reported — 59% — had four or more bedrooms, 33 had three and five had two or fewer. Bedroom count drives price more than ZIP code does, but the ZIP gap at the same size is stark: a four-plus-bedroom single-family home averaged $1,464,693 in 32827 against $697,216 in 32832.

Timing split the month in two. Twenty-four closings went under contract within ten days, and another 24 took more than 120 days. Ten of 32832's 53 sales had been on the market longer than six months. Both extremes existed side by side, and which one a given home falls into is mostly a question of price.

What Should You Watch Next?

Whether April holds March's sales volume without further widening the discount is the question this data leaves open.

March delivered the volume: 94 closings, up 25% from a year earlier, with year-to-date sales running about 41% ahead of 2025. What it did not deliver was any improvement in the terms. Days on market and sale-to-original-list ratios both hit five-year March extremes in the same month that sales surged.

That combination usually resolves one of two ways. Either the discounting has done its work and April and May clear inventory at steadier prices, or the volume was bought by the price cuts and each additional month requires another round of them. The contract ratio is the number to watch, and it is currently sending a mixed signal — up year over year in three segments, far below its five-year norm in all four.

Lake Nona Market: Frequently Asked Questions

What was the median home price in Lake Nona in March 2026?

It depends which part of Lake Nona and which kind of home. In 32827 the median sold price was $675,000 across all property types, and in 32832 it was $525,000. Broken out further: single-family homes ran an $837,000 median in 32827 and $597,250 in 32832, while condos and townhomes ran $500,000 and $415,190 respectively.

Is Lake Nona a buyer's market or a seller's market in 2026?

March still favours buyers, but less one-sidedly than earlier in the year. Supply fell to about 4.5 months because 94 homes closed, the strongest month of 2026 so far. At the same time three of the four Lake Nona segments recorded both their slowest average days on market and their widest gap between asking and selling price in the plotted five-year March range, and every segment's contract ratio ran 56% to 87% below its five-year March average. Sellers are still the ones conceding.

How much inventory is there in Lake Nona right now?

There were 419 active listings at the end of March, 196 in 32827 and 223 in 32832. Against 94 closings that month, this works out to roughly 4.5 months of supply, or 4.8 months in 32827 and 4.2 months in 32832. Six months is the conventional dividing line between a buyer's and a seller's market, so on this measure alone Lake Nona is back below the line.

How long does it take to sell a home in Lake Nona?

In March the average was 82 days in 32827 and 90 days in 32832. Three of the four segments were the slowest they have been in any March of the plotted five-year range: single-family homes in 32827 averaged 101 days against a five-year average of 58, single-family homes in 32832 averaged 85 against 48, and condos and townhomes in 32832 averaged 100 against 45.

How much below asking price are Lake Nona homes selling for?

The average March closing came in at 94.6% of the original list price in 32827 and 94.3% in 32832 — roughly 5.5% below where the seller started. Three of the four segments sat at the bottom of their plotted five-year March range on this measure, at 93.5%, 94.8% and 93.3%. The exception was condos and townhomes in 32827 at 97.3%, a figure built on only 11 sales.

How many homes sold in Lake Nona in March 2026?

Ninety-four homes closed: 41 in 32827 and 53 in 32832. That is up from 75 in March 2025 and up from 66 in February, making March the busiest month of 2026 so far. Both year-ago figures are large enough that the comparison is reasonably reliable.

Does this report include new construction sales?

Only the new construction that was reported through the MLS. Builders frequently sell directly from a sales office without ever listing the home, and those closings do not appear in this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in Orlando, so the true number of homes sold in March was almost certainly higher than the 94 counted here, and the resale market is represented more completely than the builder market.

How many Lake Nona buyers pay cash?

About 22% of March closings were cash — 21 of 94. Conventional financing accounted for 54 sales, with FHA covering six and VA five. The cash share fell from roughly 31% in January, which slightly improves the position of a financed buyer competing on the same home.

Which Lake Nona price range has the most homes for sale?

Measured against how fast each range is actually clearing, two stand out. Homes above $1 million in 32832 carried 32 active listings against three sales, roughly ten months of supply. The $300,000 to $399,999 range in 32832 carried 41 listings against five sales, about eight months, and 40 of those 41 were condos or townhomes. By contrast the $400,000 to $599,999 range in 32832 cleared at under four months.

New construction is under-counted. Builders often sell directly from a sales office without listing the home on the MLS, and those closings never enter this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in the region, so the real number of homes sold in March was very likely higher than 94. That matters most for months of supply, which divides listings by sales: if sales are under-counted, the supply figure reads higher than the true one. It also inflates the cash share, since builder buyers skew toward financing. The resale market is represented far more completely here than the builder market.

ZIP codes are not neighborhood boundaries. 32827 and 32832 are the closest available proxy for the Lake Nona area, but each covers ground that residents would not call Lake Nona, and no ZIP boundary lines up with a neighborhood. For what a specific community is doing, a neighborhood-level look will beat a ZIP-level one every time.

Small samples move a lot. Some segments here rest on few sales — the 32827 condo and townhome figures come from 11 closings, the thinnest on the page, and that segment's 97.3% sale-to-original-list ratio should be treated with more caution than the other three. Single-month changes in a market this size are directional at best.

On "five-year high" and "five-year low." The Local Market Insight reports plot each figure against a five-year range for the same month. Where this report says a segment is at a five-year high or low, it means the March 2026 reading sits at the end of that plotted range.

Two definitions worth knowing. Days on market and the sale-to-original-list ratio are reported here as averages, which is how the source publishes them; a small number of long-listed or deeply discounted homes pulls an average further than it would a median. The contract ratio is pending sales divided by active listings, so a falling ratio means contract activity is shrinking relative to supply.

On combining the two ZIP codes. Counts such as closings, active listings and months of supply are added across ZIP codes. Median prices are not, because a median of two medians is not a median — those are reported separately throughout, which is also the more useful comparison given how differently the two areas priced this month. Segment tables cover single-family and condo/townhome property types; the 32827 ZIP-level totals run slightly higher because that report also counts a few listings and one sale in other property types.

What's on this page

February 2026 in One Paragraph

Sixty-seven homes closed through the MLS across Lake Nona's two ZIP codes in February, at a median of $690,000 in 32827 and $635,000 in 32832. Across the four segments this report tracks, that is 66 closings against a five-year February average of 67 — almost exactly normal in total, but distributed nothing like normal. 32827 ran about nine sales above its five-year February norm while 32832 ran about ten below.

Two things every segment shares. Inventory: 387 homes were still on the market at month end, roughly 63% above the five-year February average, with single-family listings in 32827 and attached listings in 32832 each at the top of their plotted five-year range. And contract activity: pending sales per active listing ran between 62% and 89% below the five-year February average in all four segments. What is no longer shared is speed. Three of the four segments sold within about 12% of their normal February pace; the exception, condos and townhomes in 32827, averaged 212 days.

How Much Is For Sale, and How Does That Compare?

Lake Nona ended February with about 63% more homes for sale than its five-year February average, and two of the four segments finished at the very top of their plotted five-year range.

387 homes were on the market at month end. The two segments at the end of their range are single-family homes in 32827, at 139, and condos and townhomes in 32832, at 84. The other two came close without reaching it: 32827's attached inventory at 39 against a range top of 41, and 32832's single-family inventory at 122 against 128.

Every Lake Nona segment — February 2026
Segment Closed sales Median sold price Active listings Months of supply
32827 single-family 29 $777,000 139 4.8
32827 condo / townhome 8 $464,000 39 4.9
32832 single-family 20 $666,106 122 6.1
32832 condo / townhome 9 $399,990 84 9.3

A raw count means little without a baseline, which is what makes the next table the most useful one in the report. It sets each segment against its own five-year February average, so nothing here depends on comparing 32827 with 32832.

Each segment against its own five-year February average

Active listings, February 2026 against the five-year February average.

Read across the rows rather than down the columns and the month has a clear shape. Every segment is carrying far more inventory than normal and writing far fewer contracts against it than normal. But only one segment is also selling slowly, and only in 32827 are sellers giving up unusual amounts of price. Those are three different problems, and they are not evenly distributed.

Two reasons not to read those numbers too literally. First, Lake Nona has added housing quickly over the past five years, so part of any inventory increase is simply more homes existing rather than more homes struggling to sell. That caveat applies to the active-listing column and to months of supply; it does not apply to days on market, the sale-to-original-list ratio, or the contract ratio, which is why those carry the argument here.

Second, months of supply divides listings by a single month of sales, and February's sales moved a long way in both directions — 32827 went from 26 closings in January to 38, while 32832 went from 42 to 29. Inventory itself barely moved, and in 32832 it actually fell, from 214 listings to 206. Most of the swing in months of supply is the denominator.

Six months of supply is the conventional line between a buyer's and a seller's market. Lake Nona sat at roughly 5.8 months in February, with 32832 above the line at 7.1 and 32827 below it at 4.8. In January the positions were reversed. Anyone reading either figure as a trend from one month is reading too much into it; what has held for a year is the inventory build, not the month-to-month supply figure.

What Does the February Data Mean if You're Buying?

Contract activity ran 62% to 89% below its five-year February norm in every Lake Nona segment, so you are competing with far fewer other buyers than usual for a much larger pool of homes.

The contract ratio — pending sales per active listing, which folds demand and supply into one number — is the measure to weight most heavily, because unlike a raw listing count it is unaffected by how much new housing has been built. MarketStats reads a falling ratio as the market moving in the buyer's favour, and in February it was down across the board: 0.30 against a five-year February average of 1.19 for single-family homes in 32827, 0.39 against 1.02 in 32832, and 0.36 against 2.46 and 0.33 against 2.92 in the two attached segments. Even the least depressed of those, 32832 single-family, is 62% below normal.

Where you can expect to convert that into price depends heavily on which segment you are shopping. In 32827, single-family homes closed at an average of 93.7% of their original asking price and condos and townhomes at 91.2%, both at the bottom of their plotted five-year February range. In 32832 the same figures were 96.0% and 97.8% — below their norms, but only slightly. On a home at 32827's $777,000 single-family median, the 2.3-point gap against the five-year norm is about $18,000; on a 32832 condo it is closer to nothing.

Time on market is where February differed most from January. Three of the four segments came back close to their five-year February pace: 75 days for 32827 single-family (3% under the norm), 53 days for 32832 single-family (6% over), 45 days for 32832 attached (12% over). The exception is stark. Condos and townhomes in 32827 averaged 212 days, 126% above their 94-day norm and the slowest February reading in the plotted five-year range. If you are buying an attached home on that side of Lake Nona, the aged inventory is where your leverage sits.

Worth knowing if you are financing: about 28% of February closings were cash — 19 of 67. Conventional loans covered 39. There were three FHA loans and two VA loans in the whole month, all five in 32827; not one of the 29 closings in 32832 used FHA or VA financing. That does not mean those loans are unwelcome there, but it is a thin track record to point to when your offer is being compared with a cash one.

Where to be careful: 7 of the 67 February sales closed at zero days on market and another nine within ten days, so roughly a quarter of the month's activity was effectively over within ten days of listing. Well-priced homes still move. The negotiating room is in the aged inventory, and 32827 holds most of it — 13 of its 38 sales took more than 120 days, against 4 of 29 in 32832.

What Does the February Data Mean if You're Selling?

Sellers brought 113 new listings to market against 67 closings, and all four segments closed below their five-year February sale-to-original-list average.

Start with the arithmetic that drives everything else: 113 new listings against 67 sales. Supply outran demand for the second month running, which is why active inventory stayed near five-year highs even in a month when 32827 closed nearly twice as many homes as it did last February.

The discount comes in two steps, and the second one is the one sellers underestimate. In 32827 the average sold price was 91.3% of the average original list price but 93.8% of the average final list price — so about two and a half points came off the asking price before an offer ever arrived, and the rest came out of negotiation. In 32832 the same pair reads 96.1% and 98.6%: an identical two-and-a-half-point pre-offer cut, on a much smaller total discount. Sellers on both sides are cutting first and negotiating second. The difference is how much is left to negotiate once they have.

The number to plan around is your segment's, not Lake Nona's. Single-family sellers should budget roughly two months of marketing plus closing time in both ZIP codes — 75 days in 32827, 53 in 32832. Attached sellers in 32832 are at 45 days. Attached sellers in 32827 are at 212, up from 80 days in January.

If you own a condo or townhome in 32832, your problem is volume rather than price. That segment carried 84 active listings against nine sales — 9.3 months of supply, the deepest in Lake Nona, and an active count at the top of its five-year February range — with 70 of those 84 listings priced between $300,000 and $500,000. Yet the homes that did sell went at 97.8% of their original asking price in 45 days, the best pair of numbers in the market. Getting shown is the hurdle, not getting a fair price once you are.

If you own a condo or townhome in 32827, the reverse applies. Only 39 listings compete with you, but the segment averaged 212 days and 91.2% of original list. That is a pricing problem, not a competition problem.

How Do 32827 and 32832 Compare?

32827 sold well above its normal February volume and conceded unusual amounts of price to do it; 32832 sold well below its normal volume but held close to asking.

32827 covers the Laureate Park side and produced 38 closings at a $690,000 median, averaging 106 days on market and 4.8 months of supply. 32832 covers the Eagle Creek and Storey Park side and produced 29 closings at a $635,000 median, averaging 51 days and 7.1 months of supply.

Median sold price by segment, February 2026 against February 2025
Segment February 2026 February 2025 Change Sales behind the figure
32832 single-family $666,106 $742,500 −10.3% 20 this year, 20 last year
32827 single-family $777,000 $915,500 −15.1% 29 this year, 18 last year
32832 condo / townhome $399,990 $377,000 +6.1% 9 this year, 11 last year
32827 condo / townhome $464,000 $493,600 change not reported here 8 this year, 2 last year

The rows are ordered by how much weight the change deserves. 32832 single-family is the only comparison in Lake Nona built on twenty sales in both periods, and it is down 10.3%. That is the single most reliable price reading on this page. The 32827 single-family figure rests on 18 sales a year ago, thin but usable. The two attached comparisons rest on 11 and 2 sales respectively; the second is not a comparison at all, which is why no percentage appears for it.

Why 32832's headline median rose 21% when neither of its segments did. The ZIP-wide median went from $525,000 to $635,000, but single-family homes there fell 10.3% and condos and townhomes rose 6.1%. Nothing in between produces a 21% rise; what produced it was the mix. Attached sales dropped from 11 to 9, and among detached homes, three-bedroom sales fell from nine to one while four-or-more-bedroom sales rose from 11 to 19. More large homes and fewer small ones lifts the middle of the list without lifting any individual home's value. Read the ZIP-wide figure as composition, and the segment figures as price.

And why 32827's average price decline overstates things. The reported average fell 7.6% year over year, but the attached share of sales doubled, from 2 of 21 last February to 8 of 38 this year. Attached homes averaged $451,874 and detached homes $947,624, so a shift of that size drags the average down on its own. Holding last February's property mix constant, the average is roughly flat — about 0.3% higher, not 7.6% lower. Twenty-one sales is also a small base year; treat any percentage built on it as directional.

Where the two ZIP codes genuinely diverge is at the top, and there the samples are large enough to trust. Four-or-more-bedroom single-family homes averaged $1,157,164 in 32827, on 19 sales against 13 a year earlier — up about 4%. The same segment in 32832 averaged $838,642 on 19 sales against 11, down about 22%. Two adjacent ZIP codes, the same property type, opposite directions.

Which Price Ranges Were Moving?

The two ZIP codes have their inventory problem at opposite ends: entry-level in 32832, the top of the market in 32827.

February 2026 closings and active listings by price range
Price range Sold, 32827 Active, 32827 Sold, 32832 Active, 32832
Under $300,000 2 0 2 6
$300,000 – $399,999 3 12 3 36
$400,000 – $499,999 8 23 4 53
$500,000 – $599,999 1 9 5 31
$600,000 – $799,999 10 44 8 35
$800,000 – $999,999 5 27 4 14
$1,000,000 and above 9 63 3 31

Your own price range matters more than the market-wide figure. In 32832, the $300,000 to $500,000 band carried 89 active listings against seven sales — close to thirteen months of supply at February's pace, and the single most crowded stretch of the Lake Nona market. Between $600,000 and $1 million that same ZIP code looks entirely different: 49 listings against 12 sales, roughly four months. Above $1 million it slows again, to 31 listings against three sales.

32827 has the mirror image. Its $1 million and above band held 63 active listings against nine sales, about seven months of supply, while the $400,000 to $500,000 band cleared eight sales against 23 listings, under three months. The high end is where 32827's discounting is concentrated, and it is also where the market is largest — 14 of its 38 February closings were above $800,000.

Lake Nona is a large-home market, and February underlined it. Of the 66 closings with a bedroom count in the source, 40 — 61% — had four or more bedrooms, 22 had three, and four had two or fewer. Bedroom count drives price more than ZIP code does: in 32827 a three-bedroom single-family home averaged $549,500 against $1,157,164 for a four-plus, and in 32832 four-plus single-family homes averaged $838,642. Only one three-bedroom single-family home sold in 32832 all month, so no average is quoted for it here.

Timing followed the same split. About a quarter of February's closings sold within ten days of listing, and another quarter sat more than 120 days. Both extremes existed in the same month, and which one a given home falls into is mostly a question of price.

What Should You Watch Next?

Whether 32827's sale-to-original-list ratios lift off the floor of their five-year range during the spring is the number that matters most.

The near-term direction is already partly written. 32832 wrote 62 new pending sales against 29 closings, with both segments above their five-year February averages — 37 against 34 on the single-family side and 25 against 18 on the attached side. Contracts written in February close in March and April, so February's low closing count looks like timing rather than demand. 32827 runs the other way: 26 new single-family pendings against a five-year February average of 35.

Price is the harder question. Both 32827 segments sit at the bottom of their plotted five-year February range on sale-to-original-list, and that is not a seasonal artifact — it is what happens when inventory has been building for a year and sellers begin meeting the market. If those ratios recover through spring while inventory flattens, February was the trough. If they stay where they are while new listings keep outrunning contracts, the discounting spreads to 32832, where sellers have so far given up very little.

The second thing to watch is narrower: 32827's attached segment at 212 days. It is one of only four Lake Nona segments and it rests on eight sales, so a single month proves nothing. Two more months at that level would.

Lake Nona Market: Frequently Asked Questions

What was the median home price in Lake Nona in February 2026?

It depends which part of Lake Nona and which kind of home. In 32827 the median sold price was $690,000 across all property types, and in 32832 it was $635,000. By segment: single-family homes ran a $777,000 median in 32827 and $666,106 in 32832, while condos and townhomes ran $464,000 and $399,990. Both condo and townhome figures rest on fewer than ten sales, so treat the single-family medians as the more reliable pair.

Is Lake Nona a buyer's market or a seller's market in 2026?

February still points to a buyer's market. The clearest evidence is the contract ratio, which counts pending sales per active listing: all four Lake Nona segments ran between 62% and 89% below their five-year February averages. Active inventory sat about 63% above the five-year February average, and every segment closed below its five-year February sale-to-original-list average. What has changed since January is speed, which returned close to normal in three of the four segments.

How much inventory is there in Lake Nona right now?

There were 387 active listings at the end of February, 181 in 32827 and 206 in 32832. Against 67 closings that month, that works out to roughly 5.8 months of supply overall, 4.8 months in 32827 and 7.1 months in 32832. Single-family listings in 32827 and condo and townhome listings in 32832 both finished at the top of their plotted five-year February range. By segment, months of supply ran 4.8 and 4.9 in 32827 and 6.1 and 9.3 in 32832.

How long does it take to sell a home in Lake Nona?

Three of the four segments came back close to normal in February. Single-family homes averaged 75 days in 32827, 3% under their five-year February norm, and 53 days in 32832, 6% above. Condos and townhomes in 32832 averaged 45 days, 12% above. The exception is large: condos and townhomes in 32827 averaged 212 days, 126% above their 94-day norm and the slowest reading in the plotted five-year February range.

How much below asking price are Lake Nona homes selling for?

The average February closing came in at 93.2% of the original list price in 32827 and 96.6% in 32832, so roughly 7% and 3% below where the seller started. All four segments finished below their five-year February average on this measure, but the gap is concentrated in 32827: single-family homes closed at 93.7% and condos and townhomes at 91.2%, both at the bottom of their plotted five-year February range. In 32832 the same figures were 96.0% and 97.8%.

How many homes sold in Lake Nona in February 2026?

Sixty-seven homes closed through the MLS: 38 in 32827 and 29 in 32832. Across the four segments the report tracks, that is 66 closings against a five-year February average of 67 — but the distribution flipped, with 32827 running about nine sales above its norm and 32832 about ten below. The 32827 count is up from 21 a year earlier, a base small enough that the percentage change is not reliable.

Does this report include new construction sales?

Only the new construction that was reported through the MLS. Builders frequently sell directly from a sales office without ever listing the home, and those closings do not appear in this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in Orlando, so the true number of homes sold in February was almost certainly higher than the 67 counted here, and the resale market is represented more completely than the builder market.

How many Lake Nona buyers pay cash?

About 28% of February closings were cash, 19 of 67. Conventional financing accounted for 39 sales, with three FHA loans and two VA loans, all five of those in 32827. Not one of the 29 closings in 32832 used FHA or VA financing in February, which is worth knowing if that is how you plan to buy on that side of Lake Nona.

Why did the 32832 median rise 21% when both its segments say otherwise?

Because the mix of homes that sold changed more than values did, and the segment figures prove it. The 32832 single-family median fell 10.3% year over year, to $666,106 from $742,500, on 20 sales in each period. The condo and townhome median rose 6.1%. Neither segment came close to rising 21%; the ZIP-wide figure did only because attached sales dropped from 11 to 9 and three-bedroom detached sales fell from nine to one, tilting the mix toward larger, costlier homes.

Where these numbers come from. MarketStats by ShowingTime, Local Market Insight and Detailed Report editions for ZIP codes 32827 and 32832, February 2026. Data source: Stellar MLS. Statistics calculated July 07, 2026.

New construction is under-counted. Builders often sell directly from a sales office without listing the home on the MLS, and those closings never enter this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in the region, so the real number of homes sold in February was very likely higher than 67. That matters most for months of supply, which divides listings by sales: if sales are under-counted, the supply figure reads higher than the true one. It also pushes the cash share down, since builder buyers skew toward financing. The resale market is represented far more completely here than the builder market.

ZIP codes are not neighborhood boundaries. 32827 and 32832 are the closest available proxy for the Lake Nona area, but each covers ground that residents would not call Lake Nona, and no ZIP boundary lines up with a neighborhood. For what a specific community is doing, a neighborhood-level look will beat a ZIP-level one every time.

Small samples move a lot. February is a light month, and the thinnest figures on this page are the two condo and townhome medians, which rest on eight sales in 32827 and nine in 32832. Year-over-year bases are thinner still: the 32827 attached segment is compared against just two sales in February 2025, which is why no percentage change is published for it. All 32827 year-over-year figures rest on 21 total sales a year ago and are directional at best. The 32832 three-bedroom single-family average is omitted entirely because only one such home sold.

On "at the top of the five-year range." The Local Market Insight reports plot each figure against a five-year range for the same month. Where this report says a segment is at the top or bottom of its range, it means the February 2026 reading sits at the end of that plotted range. Segment-level listing counts sum to 384 against a ZIP-level total of 387, because three active listings in 32827 fall outside the single-family and attached property-type breakdowns; the same applies to one closed sale in 32827, which is why the four segments total 66 closings and the bedroom mix totals 66 rather than 67.

Two definitions worth knowing. Days on market and the sale-to-original-list ratio are reported here as averages, which is how the source publishes them; a small number of long-listed or deeply discounted homes pulls an average further than it would a median. The contract ratio is pending sales divided by active listings, so a falling ratio means contract activity is shrinking relative to supply.

On combining the two ZIP codes. Counts such as closings, active listings and months of supply are added across ZIP codes. Median prices are not, because a median of two medians is not a median — those are reported separately throughout, which is also the more useful comparison given how differently the two areas behaved this month.

Lake Nona Market Report January 2026 | Prices & Trends

What's on this page

January 2026 in One Paragraph

Sixty-eight homes closed through the MLS across Lake Nona's two ZIP codes in January, at a median of $654,995 in 32827 and $513,000 in 32832. The more important number is what did not sell: 379 homes were still on the market at month end, which works out to roughly 5.6 months of supply and is the most inventory this market has carried in any January of the past five years.

Every segment tells the same story. Homes took 43% to 78% longer to sell than their five-year January norms, and contract activity relative to supply ran 65% to 90% below normal. Whatever else January was, it was not a seller's market.

How Much Is For Sale, and How Does That Compare?

All four Lake Nona segments ended January with more homes for sale than in any January of the past five years.

379 homes were on the market at month end, about 68% above the five-year January average. But the sharper way to read it is that single-family and attached homes, in both ZIP codes, are each sitting at the top of their own five-year range for this month — not near it, at it.

A raw inventory count means little without a baseline, which is what makes this the most useful table in the report. Every segment is carrying more unsold homes than it normally does in January, and in one case more than twice as many.

32827 single-family 126 83 +52% 6.6

One reason not to read the percentages too literally. Lake Nona has added housing quickly over the past five years, so part of that inventory increase is simply more homes existing rather than more homes struggling to sell. The measures that are not affected by how much has been built — months of supply, days on market, and the contract ratio — all point the same direction anyway, which is why they carry the argument here rather than the raw counts.

Six months of supply is the conventional line between a buyer's and a seller's market. Lake Nona sat at roughly 5.6 months in January, with 32827 above the line at 6.3 and 32832 just under at 5.1. For a market that spent several years well below two months, that is the meaningful change.

What Does the January Data Mean if You're Buying?

You have more homes to choose from than at any January in at least five years, and less competition for each one.

The contract ratio is the clearest measure of that. It counts pending sales per active listing, so it captures demand and supply in a single number, and MarketStats reads a falling ratio as the market moving in the buyer's favour. In January every Lake Nona segment sat far below its own five-year January norm: 65% below in 32827 single-family, 87% below in 32827 condos and townhomes, 81% and 90% below on the 32832 side.

Homes also sat longer — in three of the four segments, longer than in any January of the past five years. Single-family homes in 32827 averaged 96 days against a five-year January average of 62, and condos and townhomes in 32832 averaged 82 days against a norm of 46. This is the measure worth weighting most heavily, because unlike a listing count it is unaffected by how much new housing has been built. A seller three months into a listing is in a different frame of mind than one three weeks in, and January produced a lot of the former.

Worth knowing if you are financing: about 31% of January closings were cash — 21 of 68. Conventional loans covered 35, with FHA and VA at four each. On a home that draws multiple offers, a cash buyer can beat a higher financed offer, so the strength of your financing matters as much as your number.

Where to be careful: 10 of the 68 January sales closed at zero days on market, and another seven within ten days. Those are largely builder transactions and homes that were effectively spoken for before they listed. Well-priced homes still move quickly, and the leverage in this market sits with the aged inventory rather than with everything.

What Does the January Data Mean if You're Selling?

You are competing with roughly 68% more listings than a normal January, and the average seller closed about 5% below their original asking price.

The sale-to-original-list ratio came in at 94.3% in 32827 and 95.2% in 32832 — the average January closing gave up around five cents on the dollar from where it started. Three of the four segments finished below their own five-year January averages on this measure, so the distance between asking and selling is wider than it normally is.

That figure also hides a two-step story. Comparing the average sold price to the average final asking price gives 96.4% in 32827 and 98.1% in 32832 — so roughly two to three points of the total discount came off the asking price before a buyer ever made an offer, and the rest came out of the negotiation. Sellers are cutting first and negotiating second.

New listings tell you what you are up against. Sellers brought 138 new listings to market in January against 68 closings, so supply grew faster than it cleared. That is the arithmetic behind the inventory build, and it does not reverse quickly.

The number to plan around: average days on market ran 92 in 32827 and 74 in 32832, and both are well above their five-year norms. If you need to be somewhere by a certain date, count backward from roughly three months plus closing time — then price for the market described above rather than the one from two years ago.

If you own a condo or townhome in 32832, take particular note: that segment is carrying about 110% more active listings than its five-year January average, the largest gap in Lake Nona. More competing inventory means pricing and condition matter more than they would in a thinner market.

How Do 32827 and 32832 Compare?

32827 is the higher-priced, slower-moving side; 32832 sold more homes, more quickly, at a lower median.

One caution before the comparison: the 32827 condo and townhome median rests on just seven sales, and a median drawn from seven homes moves sharply on one unusual transaction. Treat the single-family figures, built on 19 and 26 sales, as the more reliable of the four.

32827 covers the Laureate Park side and produced 26 closings at a $654,995 median, with homes averaging 92 days on market and 6.3 months of supply. 32832 covers the Eagle Creek and Storey Park side and produced 42 closings at a $513,000 median, averaging 74 days and 5.1 months of supply.

A caution on year-over-year comparisons this month. The 32832 median came in 21% below January 2025, and that figure needs context before anyone reads it as a price collapse. Only 17 homes sold in 32832 in January 2025, which is too small a base for a reliable comparison, and the mix shifted sharply: attached homes went from 3 of 17 sales to 16 of 42. Because attached homes average roughly half what detached homes do, a large part of that decline reflects which homes sold rather than what homes are worth.

Holding the property mix constant at last January's ratio, the average-price decline works out closer to 18% than 27%. Treat single-month year-over-year moves in a market this size as directional at best.

Which Price Ranges Were Moving?

The $600,000 to $800,000 range led closings, but the deepest inventory relative to sales sits above $1 million.

January 2026 closings and active listings by price range
Price range Sold, 32827 Active, 32827 Sold, 32832 Active, 32832
Under $300,000 0 0 2 10
$300,000 – $399,999 1 10 9 31
$400,000 – $499,999 6 20 8 51
$500,000 – $599,999 2 11 8 38
$600,000 – $799,999 9 38 7 40
$800,000 – $999,999 3 23 5 16
$1,000,000 and above 5 61 3 28

Your own price range matters more than the market-wide figure, and the top of the market is where the imbalance is starkest. In 32827, 61 homes were listed above $1 million against five that sold — more than twelve months of supply at January's pace. At the other end, 32832's $400,000 to $500,000 band carried 51 active listings against eight sales.

Lake Nona is a large-home market, and January underlined it: 38 of the 68 closings — 56% — had four or more bedrooms, 26 had three, and only four had two or fewer. Bedroom count drives price more than ZIP code does. In 32827 a three-bedroom single-family home averaged $579,750 while a four-plus averaged $1,413,135; in 32832 the same step ran $466,847 to $803,869.

Timing followed the same pattern. Roughly a quarter of January's closings went under contract within ten days, but another 24% took more than 120 days. Both extremes existed in the same month, and which one a given home falls into is mostly a question of price.

What Should You Watch Next?

Whether the contract ratio recovers toward its five-year norm during the spring is the number that will tell you which way this market turns.

Contract ratios did tick up from December in all four segments — some of that is normal seasonal awakening. The question is whether spring closes the gap to the five-year average or leaves it open. If new listings keep outpacing contracts the way they did in January, inventory keeps building and pricing follows.

Lake Nona Market: Frequently Asked Questions

What was the median home price in Lake Nona in January 2026?

It depends which part of Lake Nona and which kind of home. In 32827 the median sold price was $654,995 across all property types, and in 32832 it was $513,000. Broken out further: single-family homes ran a $690,000 median in 32827 and $665,580 in 32832, while condos and townhomes ran $428,990 and $386,250 respectively.

Is Lake Nona a buyer's market or a seller's market in 2026?

January's data points clearly to a buyer's market. Active inventory sat about 68% above the five-year January average, homes took 43% to 78% longer to sell than their five-year norms, and the contract ratio — pending sales per active listing — ran 65% to 90% below its five-year January average in every segment. All four measures point the same direction.

How much inventory is there in Lake Nona right now?

There were 379 active listings at the end of January, 165 in 32827 and 214 in 32832. Against 68 closings that month, this works out to roughly 5.6 months of supply, or 6.3 months in 32827 and 5.1 months in 32832. Six months is the conventional dividing line between a buyer's and a seller's market.

How long does it take to sell a home in Lake Nona?

In January the average was 92 days in 32827 and 74 days in 32832. Every segment sold more slowly than its five-year January norm: single-family homes in 32827 averaged 96 days against a five-year average of 62, and condos and townhomes in 32832 averaged 82 days against a norm of 46.

How much below asking price are Lake Nona homes selling for?

The average January closing came in at 94.3% of the original list price in 32827 and 95.2% in 32832 — roughly 5% below where the seller started. Three of the four segments also came in below their five-year January averages, so the gap between asking and selling is wider than normal.

How many homes sold in Lake Nona in January 2026?

Sixty-eight homes closed: 26 in 32827 and 42 in 32832. That is up from 40 in January 2025, though January is a seasonally quiet month and the year-earlier figure was small enough that percentage comparisons are unreliable.

Does this report include new construction sales?

Only the new construction that was reported through the MLS. Builders frequently sell directly from a sales office without ever listing the home, and those closings do not appear in this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in Orlando, so the true number of homes sold in January was almost certainly higher than the 68 counted here, and the resale market is represented more completely than the builder market.

How many Lake Nona buyers pay cash?

About 31% of January closings were cash — 21 of 68. Conventional financing accounted for 35 sales, with FHA and VA loans covering four each. A cash share near a third is worth knowing if you are financing, because a cash offer can outcompete a higher financed one on the same home.

Are condos and townhomes a better value in Lake Nona than single-family homes?

They carry a much lower entry price — a $386,250 median in 32832 and $428,990 in 32827, against roughly $665,000 to $690,000 for single-family homes. But the attached segment is also where inventory has grown fastest: active condo and townhome listings in 32832 ran about 110% above their five-year January average. More choice for a buyer, more competition for a seller.

Where these numbers come from. MarketStats by ShowingTime, Local Market Insight and Detailed Report editions for ZIP codes 32827 and 32832, January 2026. Data source: Stellar MLS. Statistics calculated July 7, 2026.

New construction is under-counted. Builders often sell directly from a sales office without listing the home on the MLS, and those closings never enter this data. Lake Nona is one of the most active new-construction markets in the region, so the real number of homes sold in January was very likely higher than 68. That matters most for months of supply, which divides listings by sales: if sales are under-counted, the supply figure reads higher than the true one. The resale market is represented far more completely here than the builder market.

ZIP codes are not neighborhood boundaries. 32827 and 32832 are the closest available proxy for the Lake Nona area, but each covers ground that residents would not call Lake Nona, and no ZIP boundary lines up with a neighborhood. For what a specific community is doing, a neighborhood-level look will beat a ZIP-level one every time.

Small samples move a lot. January is a quiet month, and some segments here rest on very few sales — the 32827 condo and townhome median comes from seven closings. Single-month changes in a market this size are directional at best, and year-over-year percentages built on a small base year can mislead badly.

On "highest in five years." The Local Market Insight reports plot each figure against a five-year range for the same month. Where this report says a segment is at a five-year high or low, it means the January 2026 reading sits at the end of that plotted range.

Two definitions worth knowing. Days on market and the sale-to-original-list ratio are reported here as averages, which is how the source publishes them; a small number of long-listed or deeply discounted homes pulls an average further than it would a median. The contract ratio is pending sales divided by active listings, so a falling ratio means contract activity is shrinking relative to supply.

On combining the two ZIP codes. Counts such as closings, active listings and months of supply are added across ZIP codes. Median prices are not, because a median of two medians is not a median — those are reported separately throughout, which is also the more useful comparison given how differently the two areas priced this month.

M/I Homes Lake Nona: Somerset Park, La Vina & Randal Park

Three neighborhoods, one of them an official Lake Nona address that is not zoned for a single Lake Nona school.

Two-story M/I Homes single-family house on a waterfront lot in the gated Somerset Park neighborhood

M/I Homes built three Lake Nona area neighborhoods: Somerset Park, where it built alongside Century Homes; La Vina, which comprises four separate neighborhoods named Ziani, Solvino, Maribella and Capri; and Randal Park, where it was one of two original builders with David Weekley Homes before Mattamy Homes completed it in 2019. M/I Homes was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1976 by cousins Melvin and Irving Schottenstein, whose initials give the company its name. It went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1993 as MHO, expanded into Orlando in 1984, and has built more than 170,000 homes across 17 markets. Somerset Park opened in spring 2015, is gated, and sits west of Medical City south of the 417. It is an official Lake Nona neighborhood but has not been zoned for Lake Nona area schools.

There is one fact on this page worth more than everything else combined, and it is not about the builder.

Somerset Park is an official Lake Nona neighborhood, gated, minutes from Medical City, on Lake Nona Boulevard. And it has not been zoned for any of the Lake Nona area schools. Families move there specifically for the schools and then discover their assignment runs elsewhere. If you take nothing else from this post, take that, and go confirm the zoning for the exact address before you write anything.

Which Lake Nona neighborhoods did M/I build?

Three: Somerset Park, La Vina and Randal Park.

Each represents a different kind of role — co-builder in a gated community, builder across four separate villages, and one of the original two builders in a neighborhood somebody else finished.

M/I Homes neighborhoods in the Lake Nona area
Neighborhood Product M/I Homes' role
Somerset Park Gated single-family homes, roughly 1,600–3,800 sq ft across many designs; community pool and cabana, playground, parks and walking trails; many homes with water views; built in phases from 2015 One of two builders, with Century Homes; new construction is complete
La VinaZiani, Solvino, Maribella, Capri Four separate neighborhoods with differing architecture; single-family homes, 3–6 bedrooms, 2–4 baths; Ziani and Maribella gated with small parks; no community pool or clubhouse Builder across the La Vina neighborhoods, off Dowden Road between Narcoossee and the 417
Randal Park Single-family homes in a neighborhood with over 300 acres of preserved land, eight neighborhood parks and a five-acre central park One of two original builders with David Weekley Homes; Mattamy Homes took over and completed the neighborhood in 2019

Who is M/I Homes?

A Columbus, Ohio family company named for its founders' initials that has been building in Orlando since 1984.

Cousins Melvin and Irving Schottenstein founded the company in Columbus in 1976 as M/I Schottenstein Homes — the M and the I are their first initials. They had already developed thousands of apartments and one of Central Ohio's first golf course communities. By 1979 M/I was the largest homebuilder in Central Ohio, a position it still holds.

Florida came early. The company expanded into Tampa in 1981 and Orlando in 1984, which means it has been building in this metro for more than forty years — longer than most buyers would guess for a company headquartered in Ohio. It went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1993 under the ticker MHO, and has since built more than 170,000 homes across 17 markets in ten states.

Robert Schottenstein, Irving's son, has led the company for more than two decades and was named Builder of the Year by Builder magazine in 2008 for steering it through the housing collapse without the restructuring that took down several competitors. The company markets its product around what it calls Whole Home Building Standards, in-house design studios, its own mortgage arm, and a transferable structural warranty — that last one being the piece that matters most to a resale buyer, and the one almost nobody asks about.

Is Somerset Park zoned for Lake Nona schools?

No. Somerset Park is an official Lake Nona neighborhood that is not currently zoned for any of the Lake Nona area schools.

Assignments there have run to Stonewyck Elementary, South Creek Middle and Cypress Creek High School rather than to the Lake Nona schools most buyers picture when they hear the address.

Why it happens: Lake Nona is a large area whose neighborhoods sit across several school attendance boundaries, and boundaries are drawn by Orange County Public Schools on the basis of capacity and geography, not by the developer's neighborhood names. Somerset Park sits west of Medical City, south of the 417, connected to the rest of Lake Nona by Lake Nona Boulevard — close enough to be genuinely part of the community and far enough to fall on the other side of a line.

What to do about it. If schools are driving your purchase, confirm the current assignment for the exact street address with OCPS before you make an offer, not after inspection. Assignments change, sometimes with little notice, and a neighborhood's zoning today is not a promise about next year. That caution applies everywhere in Lake Nona; it just bites hardest here, because the name on the entrance says one thing and the boundary map says another. Our Lake Nona schools guide is a starting point, not a substitute for checking the address.

Worth saying plainly: this is not a knock on the neighborhood. Somerset Park is gated, well amenitized and superbly located for the airport, the 417 and the Turnpike. It is a knock on assuming.

What is La Vina, and why is it four neighborhoods?

La Vina is not one neighborhood — it is four separate ones with different architecture, different gates and different lot conditions.

La Vina sits off Dowden Road between Narcoossee Road and the 417 Greenway, and comprises Ziani, Solvino, Maribella and Capri. Homes run three to six bedrooms and two to four baths across a range of floor plans.

The differences between them are the part that matters. Ziani and Maribella are gated and have their own small neighborhood parks; Solvino and Capri are not gated. The majority of homes in Ziani back to water, while many homes in the other three back to conservation area. There is no community pool or clubhouse for La Vina as a whole — residents are within walking distance of the La Vina Marketplace, with a Publix plaza down Narcoossee.

So "I'm looking in La Vina" is four different searches. Gated or not, water or conservation, and which village — those three questions do more to determine what you are buying and what it costs to carry than the floor plan does. Compare the amenity picture against the rest of the area on the amenities chart, and note that the absence of a pool and clubhouse is a cost advantage as much as a missing feature.

What does the transferable structural warranty actually give you?

On a resale, potentially several years of remaining coverage that most buyers never ask about — and that costs nothing to check.

Most builder warranties are structured in layers: a short period on workmanship and systems, and a much longer period on structural elements. The structural piece is the one worth money, and M/I markets its structural warranty as transferable, meaning it can pass to a subsequent owner rather than expiring at the first resale.

The practical consequence in these neighborhoods is concrete. Somerset Park was built in phases from 2015, and Randal Park and La Vina homes span a range of years. On a home from the more recent end of that range, remaining structural coverage may still be in force. That is a real asset attached to the house, and it is invisible unless somebody asks for the document.

So ask. Request the warranty document from the seller, confirm the length, confirm what is actually covered, and confirm the transfer requirements — some warranties require notice or registration within a window after closing, and missing that window forfeits coverage that was otherwise yours. This is a five-minute request that occasionally turns out to be worth thousands, and in my experience buyers almost never make it.

What should you check before buying an M/I home here?

School zoning, which builder, which village or phase, and the warranty document.

School zoning first, and for the exact address, for the reasons above. Do not accept a listing remark or a neighborhood-level answer.

Builder second. In Somerset Park, Century Homes built alongside M/I, so the name on a listing is not automatically M/I. In Randal Park, three builders worked across the neighborhood — M/I and David Weekley started it and Mattamy finished it in 2019 — so the builder depends entirely on section and year. Get it from the permit record or the seller's disclosure rather than assuming from the neighborhood.

Village and phase third. La Vina's four neighborhoods differ on gating, water and conservation. Somerset Park recorded in phases, and phase can affect both the lot conditions and the assessment. Know which one you are in.

Then the warranty document, and the ordinary items that still apply: confirm the assessment on the specific parcel rather than trusting any published figure, including this page — our CDD fees explainer covers how — and check current availability on the new construction listings rather than assuming what is selling today.

M/I Homes in Lake Nona: pros and cons

What works. The transferable structural warranty is a genuine, checkable advantage that survives the first sale, and it is unusually relevant here because these homes are recent enough for coverage to remain. Somerset Park's location is excellent on every axis except schools — gated, minutes from the airport, the 417 and the Turnpike, with a real amenity package. La Vina's four-village structure gives you meaningful choice on gating, water and conservation within one area, without a pool and clubhouse to pay for monthly. And M/I is a publicly traded builder with forty years in the Orlando market, so it is neither a newcomer nor a company likely to vanish.

What does not. The Somerset Park school situation is a real problem for the households most attracted to a Lake Nona address, and no amount of neighborhood quality fixes it if schools are why you are moving. Two of the three neighborhoods have multiple builders, so the M/I name tells you less than buyers assume — Century Homes in Somerset Park, David Weekley and Mattamy in Randal Park. La Vina has no community pool or clubhouse, which is a saving for some and a dealbreaker for others. And M/I sits in the middle of the market: not the cheapest square footage, not a luxury or custom builder, which means it wins on value and warranty rather than on distinction.

Our take. M/I is a sound, unflashy choice and the warranty is the most underrated thing about buying one of these homes on resale — ask for the document, every time. The one place I would slow a buyer down hard is Somerset Park and schools. It is a good neighborhood in a good location, and if you are buying it because you assumed a Lake Nona address delivers Lake Nona schools, you are buying it for a reason that is not true. Confirm the assignment for the exact address with the district. If the answer works for you, the neighborhood is genuinely worth having.

What the neighbors know

In Somerset Park, the schools come up constantly, because everyone there has had the conversation at least once — usually with someone who assumed otherwise. What residents actually talk about is the location: a couple of miles from the airport, straight onto the 417, the Turnpike a few miles west, and the Creekside Publix plaza just east. For households with travel-heavy jobs, that is the reason they chose it and the reason they stay.

In La Vina, the conversation splits by village. Ziani owners talk about the water behind their houses; the others talk about conservation frontage and what will never be built there. And nobody in La Vina misses the clubhouse they do not pay for. Over in Randal Park, it is the parks — eight of them plus a five-acre green — along with Sun Blaze Elementary at the front and the Orlando Health emergency room right there.

Frequently asked questions

Which Lake Nona neighborhoods did M/I Homes build?

Three: Somerset Park, where M/I built alongside Century Homes; La Vina, which is made up of four separate neighborhoods called Ziani, Solvino, Maribella and Capri; and Randal Park, where M/I was one of two original builders with David Weekley Homes before Mattamy Homes completed it in 2019.

Is Somerset Park zoned for Lake Nona schools?

No. Although Somerset Park is an official Lake Nona neighborhood, it is not currently zoned for any of the Lake Nona area schools. Assignments have run to Stonewyck Elementary, South Creek Middle and Cypress Creek High School. Zoning is set by Orange County Public Schools and can change, so confirm the current assignment for the specific address before you buy.

What does M/I stand for?

The initials of the founders, Melvin and Irving Schottenstein, who started the company in Columbus, Ohio in 1976 as M/I Schottenstein Homes. It went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 1993 as MHO and has since built more than 170,000 homes across 17 markets.

Does the M/I Homes structural warranty transfer to a new owner?

M/I Homes markets a transferable structural warranty, which means coverage can pass to a subsequent owner rather than ending at the first resale. Terms, length and transfer conditions are set by the warranty document itself, so ask the seller for it and read what remains rather than assuming. On a home built in the last several years, remaining coverage has real value.

Why is La Vina made up of four neighborhoods?

La Vina was laid out as four separate developments with different architecture and character: Ziani, Solvino, Maribella and Capri. Ziani and Maribella are gated and have small neighborhood parks. Most Ziani homes back to water, while many homes in the other three back to conservation. There is no community pool or clubhouse for La Vina as a whole.

Phil Kean Lake Nona: The New American Home Was Built Here

In 2017 the national homebuilding industry's two showcase houses were both built here — by one firm that designed, decorated and constructed them.

Modern Phil Kean designed custom home with clean lines and indoor outdoor living in Lake Nona

Phil Kean Design Group has built in two Lake Nona area neighborhoods: Lake Nona Golf & Country Club and Laureate Park. Both The 2017 New American Home and The 2017 New American Remodeled Home — the National Association of Home Builders' national showcase houses for the International Builders Show — were located in Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, and for the first time in the show's history one firm served as architect, interior designer and builder for both. The firm is based in Winter Park and operates as a combined architecture, construction and interior design practice. Phil Kean is an architect, certified residential contractor and licensed interior designer, and was named the NAHB's Custom Home Builder of the Year for 2013. His firm built the first LEED Gold certified home in Central Florida.

Every year the National Association of Home Builders puts up a showcase house at the International Builders Show — The New American Home — to demonstrate where residential design and building technology are heading. It is the industry looking at itself.

In 2017 there were two: the new-construction showcase and the remodel showcase. Both of them were in Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, and for the first time in the show's history, one firm was selected as architect, interior designer and builder for both. That firm was Phil Kean Design Group, and it is the last name on the Lake Nona builders list.

Which Lake Nona neighborhoods did Phil Kean build?

Two: Lake Nona Golf & Country Club and Laureate Park.

Who is Phil Kean?

An architect who is also a licensed contractor and a licensed interior designer — a combination almost nobody in residential building holds.

Kean studied at Harvard as an undergraduate and earned both an MBA and a Master of Architecture at Washington University in St. Louis. He founded Phil Kean Design Group in Winter Park, and the firm operates across architecture, residential construction, interior design and kitchen and bath work rather than specializing in one of them.

The recognition is unusual in its breadth because it comes from both sides of the profession. The National Association of Home Builders named him Custom Home Builder of the Year for 2013. The Florida Association of the American Institute of Architects named the firm Builder of the Year in 2016. AIA's Orlando chapter named it Contractor of the Year in 2014. The Orlando Business Journal named it Builder of the Year in 2017. Architects' organizations and builders' organizations do not usually hand awards to the same firm.

On the environmental side, the firm built the first LEED Gold certified home in Central Florida and the highest-scoring Florida Green Building Coalition certified home in 2012. Kean is a past president of Orlando's Master Custom Builder Council. The practice has designed projects well beyond Florida, including work in Spain, the Bahamas and Ghana.

What was The New American Home, and why does it matter that it was here?

It is the homebuilding industry's national demonstration house, and in 2017 both versions of it were built inside Lake Nona Golf & Country Club.

The New American Home is built each year in the city hosting the International Builders Show, to showcase the newest thinking in design, energy performance and building technology. Thousands of builders walk through it. The New American Remodel does the same job for renovation.

For 2017, NAHB selected Phil Kean Design Group as architect, interior designer and builder for both — the first time in the show's history one firm took all three roles on both houses. The remodel took a 4,444-square-foot home with 1980s styling and turned it into a 4,631-square-foot house in a Bahamian architectural idiom. Both homes were also featured at the American Institute of Architects national convention that year. The firm had previously designed and built The 2012 New American Home in Winter Park.

Why it matters locally: this is the moment Lake Nona's residential architecture got looked at by the entire national industry, and the neighborhood that hosted it was the country club rather than the newer master plan. If you are trying to explain to someone why the club is a serious address rather than just an expensive one, this is the fact to use.

What does design/build actually mean for you?

One firm, one contract for both the drawings and the construction — which removes a common failure point and creates a different one.

In the conventional arrangement, you hire an architect, the architect produces drawings, you take those drawings to builders for pricing, and you hire one. Two contracts, two companies. When something does not work, the architect says it was built wrong and the builder says it was drawn wrong, and you are in the middle paying for the argument.

Design/build collapses that. The firm that draws it prices it and builds it, so there is nobody to point at. The drawings tend to be more buildable because the people drawing them are the people who have to execute them, and cost feedback arrives during design rather than after, which is when it is still cheap to change your mind.

Now the honest other side. When one firm holds both roles, you lose the independent check. In the conventional arrangement, your architect works for you and reviews the builder's work on your behalf. In design/build, the reviewer and the reviewed are the same company. That is not a reason to avoid the model — it is the reason to be deliberate about the contract, the allowance structure, the change-order pricing method and the inspection regime, and to consider retaining your own independent inspector for the build rather than relying solely on the firm's internal process.

Design/build suits people who want a single point of accountability and are comfortable trading independent oversight for it. It suits people who want an architect advocating against a builder considerably less.

What about Phil Kean in Laureate Park?

A modern architect working inside a traditional design code — an unusual assignment, and a good reason to look at what came out of it.

Laureate Park is a Tavistock master plan built as a traditional neighborhood development: front porches, alley-loaded garages, architectural review governing exterior color and style. Phil Kean's signature is the opposite instinct — clean lines, modern massing, indoor-outdoor living, a deliberately contemporary vocabulary.

Those two things meeting produces something worth seeing. A custom architect's work inside a production neighborhood is typically among the better-finished houses on the street, and when the architect is working inside constraints rather than on a blank site, the result is often more interesting than either party would have produced alone.

If you are shopping Laureate Park resales, this matters practically: several builders worked across many phases, and the builder on a specific address is not obvious from the neighborhood name. Get the builder and the year for the exact house. A custom-built home among production neighbors is a genuinely different asset, and it is not always priced as one.

What should you check before building or buying?

The contract structure, who inspects the work, the plat name, and the appraisal reality on a distinctive house.

Contract first, and more carefully here than with a conventional builder because of the design/build structure. Understand how design fees relate to construction cost, how allowances are set, how change orders get priced when the same firm is both proposing and pricing the change, and what the draw schedule looks like. Consider budgeting for your own independent construction inspector. On a project at this level that cost is trivial against the exposure.

Plat name second. Homes inside the country club record under names like Lake Nona Estates and various phase and parcel designations rather than under the club name, so a subdivision search on the club will miss most of the sold history you need to price anything.

Appraisal third, and it applies with particular force to distinctive modern architecture. Appraisers work from comparable sales, and a strongly designed contemporary house in a market of traditional and Mediterranean product has fewer comparables by definition. That cuts both ways on value, but on financing it cuts one way. Plan for it.

Then the ordinary items that still apply at any price: confirm the assessment on the specific parcel using our CDD fees explainer, confirm school zoning for the exact address with our schools guide, and if the club is involved, confirm membership terms and costs directly with the club rather than with a builder or seller.

Phil Kean in Lake Nona: pros and cons

What works. The design credentials are real and independently validated — being named builder of the year by architects' organizations and architect of note by builders' organizations is a rare double. Design/build gives you a single point of accountability, which on a complex custom project is worth a great deal. The firm's energy and green building record is substantive rather than promotional, including the first LEED Gold home in Central Florida. And a house designed by this firm is architecturally distinctive in a market where most product is not, which is a durable differentiator when you sell.

What does not. Design/build means no independent professional reviewing the construction on your behalf, and you should compensate for that deliberately. Strongly modern architecture narrows the buyer pool in a Central Florida market that still leans traditional, and it makes appraisal harder. This is a small firm, so the entity behind a warranty question years out is modest. And custom design/build at this level is a long, expensive process with more decisions than most people anticipate — the showcase houses look effortless because that is their job, not because the process is.

Our take. If you want a genuinely designed house rather than a well-executed plan, this is the firm on the Lake Nona list whose work is most likely to still look considered in twenty years — and the 2017 showcase selection is objective evidence rather than self-assessment. The thing to be deliberate about is oversight. Design/build is efficient precisely because it removes the adversarial gap between architect and builder, and that same removal takes away your advocate. Hire your own inspector, read the change-order provisions closely, and go in knowing that a strikingly modern house in this market is a smaller resale audience buying something they cannot find elsewhere. That is a trade, not a flaw.

What the neighbors know

Inside the club, the 2017 showcase houses are still a reference point. Thousands of builders walked through them during the International Builders Show, and residents who were there remember the traffic. It is the one week the national industry paid attention to this neighborhood specifically.

The other thing that comes up is how differently the modern houses read against their neighbors. Lake Nona Golf & Country Club has been building since 1986, so its housing stock spans four decades of taste, and the contemporary work stands out immediately. Opinions divide exactly as you would expect — and the people who bought those houses bought them because they stand out.

Frequently asked questions

Which Lake Nona neighborhoods did Phil Kean build?

Two: Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, where the firm designed and built both 2017 New American Home showcase houses, and Laureate Park, where it has also built custom homes.

Was The New American Home built in Lake Nona?

Yes. Both The 2017 New American Home and The 2017 New American Remodeled Home — the National Association of Home Builders' national showcase houses for the International Builders Show — were located in Lake Nona Golf & Country Club. For the first time in the show's history, one firm, Phil Kean Design Group, served as architect, interior designer and builder for both.

Is it Phil Kean Designs or Phil Kean Design Group?

The firm is Phil Kean Design Group, often abbreviated PKDG, and it is commonly referred to as Phil Kean Designs. It is based in Winter Park, Florida and operates as an architecture, construction, interior design and kitchen and bath firm.

What does a design/build firm do differently?

A design/build firm handles both the architecture and the construction under one contract, rather than the buyer hiring an architect and then separately hiring a builder. That removes the gap where design and construction blame each other when something does not work. The trade-off is that the party designing the house is also the party pricing and building it, so there is no independent check between them.

Who is Phil Kean?

An architect, certified residential contractor and licensed interior designer who founded Phil Kean Design Group in Winter Park. He studied at Harvard and earned both an MBA and a Master of Architecture at Washington University in St. Louis, and was named the National Association of Home Builders' Custom Home Builder of the Year for 2013. His firm built the first LEED Gold certified home in Central Florida.

Issa Homes Lake Nona: 54 Homes Inside the Country Club

The custom builder with the longest run inside the country club gate — and the one Disney checked out by phoning 400 homeowners.

Issa Homes custom estate residence with open floor plan behind the gates of Lake Nona Golf and Country Club

Issa Homes has built in two Lake Nona area neighborhoods: Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, where it has worked since 2003, and Laureate Park, where it built for a period and is no longer active. The company says it designed and built 54 homes inside the club between 2003 and 2024, ranging from about $1.2 million to nearly $4 million — the largest count of any custom builder there. Issa Homes was founded in 1972 by Francis Issa; Don Hempel joined as managing partner in the late 1980s. The company built more than 600 homes in Arvida's Weston community before relocating to Central Florida in 1998 at Disney's invitation. Issa was one of five builders assigned lots in the first Cromwell release at the club, starting a 4,265-square-foot home priced at $3.875 million in early 2024.

Fifty-four homes. That is what separates Issa Homes from the other custom builders on the Lake Nona builders list, and it is a number worth sitting with.

Inside Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, a 600-acre community that has been filling in since 1986, one builder has put up fifty-four houses over roughly two decades. Nobody else building custom there has that kind of run. When a buyer inside the club asks "who has done the most work here," this is the answer, and it is checkable rather than a marketing claim.

Which Lake Nona neighborhoods did Issa Homes build?

Two: Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, continuously since 2003, and Laureate Park, where it built for a period and has since moved on.

Who is Issa Homes?

A family luxury builder founded in 1972 that has spent most of its history being invited into communities rather than buying its way in.

Francis Issa founded the company in 1972, partnering with building industry figure Fred Costello in the 1970s. Don Hempel joined as managing partner in the late 1980s and set out to scale the operation; over roughly thirteen years the firm built more than 600 homes in Arvida's Weston community in South Florida.

In 1998 The Celebration Company, a subsidiary of Disney Development Company, invited Issa into its participating builder program. The company moved its headquarters from Boca Raton to Central Florida and went on to build several hundred homes in that Disney-developed town. In 2003 it began building in Lake Nona. In 2010 it broke ground on its first model home in Disney's Golden Oak.

The stated operating philosophy is a constraint on volume: build only as many homes as the principals can personally walk through. Whether or not you take that at face value, it is at least a claim a company can be held to — and the counts back it up. Fifty-four homes inside the club over twenty-one years is roughly two and a half homes a year in that community. That is a different business from a production builder and it should be evaluated differently.

What does the Disney vetting story actually tell you?

That the company was willing to hand over an unedited customer list — which is a harder test than any award.

During the vetting process for Disney's builder program, Issa handed over an unabridged list of 400 homeowners, and Disney called every one it could reach. The company's leadership has recounted this publicly, including the answer given when asked how they accounted for a 98 percent approval rating: not everyone can be happy.

Set aside the marketing sheen and there is something genuinely useful in that anecdote for a buyer. The test that mattered was not a portfolio or a brochure — it was an unfiltered list of past customers and permission to call all of them. That is a test you can run yourself.

So run it. Ask any custom builder you are considering, including this one, for a complete list of homeowners in the community where you intend to build, not a curated set of three. A builder that has been through Disney's version of that exercise should have no difficulty with yours. A builder who hesitates has answered the question.

What has Issa built inside the country club?

Fifty-four homes between 2003 and 2024, from about $1.2 million to nearly $4 million — and now the Cromwell expansion.

That price band is worth noticing. It spans more than three times from bottom to top, which tells you these are genuinely bespoke projects rather than a fixed product line. Early homes in the club sit at a different scale and price than what is being built today.

Cromwell is the club's first major expansion, a section along the south shore of Lake Nona platted by Tavistock. Five custom builders were each assigned three lots. Issa's first home there was a two-story, five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath house of about 4,265 square feet on a quarter-acre lot, priced at $3.875 million when construction began in early 2024 — described by the company as its 54th home in Lake Nona.

Two cautions on those figures. They describe a 2024 release, not today's market, so treat them as scale indicators and check the current new construction listings. And homes inside the club record under plat names such as Lake Nona Estates rather than under the club name, with the Cromwell section recording as Lake Nona Estates 10 — so a subdivision search on the club name will miss most of the sold history you need.

Why did Issa leave Laureate Park?

Because a custom builder and a design-code neighborhood are an awkward fit, and the club is where the work is.

Issa built in Laureate Park for a period and is no longer actively building there. The company has not made a public issue of it, so what follows is a reading rather than a stated reason.

Laureate Park is a Tavistock master plan with an architectural design code governing exterior color, style and modifications, on modest alley-loaded lots, alongside seven or eight production builders. That is a good neighborhood and a difficult environment for a builder whose product is bespoke design and whose volume philosophy is deliberately low. Inside the country club, lots are larger, the architecture is individual, and the buyer is commissioning a house rather than selecting a plan.

The practical consequence for a buyer: Issa homes in Laureate Park exist and come up for resale, and they are from a defined earlier window. If you find one, you are buying a custom builder's work inside a production neighborhood, which is often a better-finished house than its neighbors. Confirm the builder and year on the specific address rather than assuming, since several builders worked across many Laureate Park phases.

What should you check before buying or building with Issa?

The homeowner list, the contract structure, the plat name, and the club's own terms.

The homeowner list first, for the reasons above. With 54 homes inside one gate, this is a builder that can produce a substantial reference set in the exact community you are considering. Ask for it and use it. The questions that matter are about schedule discipline, change-order pricing and what happened after closing when something needed fixing.

Contract structure second. Fixed price or cost-plus, how allowances are set and what happens when you exceed them, the draw schedule, and what the warranty covers and for how long. On a custom build, the contract is the product.

Plat name third. Pull sold history under Lake Nona Estates and the relevant phase and parcel designations, not just the club name. At these prices, an incomplete comp set is an expensive mistake, and appraisal on a bespoke house in a small market is an event to plan for rather than a formality.

Then the club itself. Membership terms, categories and costs are set by the club, not by the builder or the seller, and they are a significant separate obligation. Confirm them directly with the club. And do the ordinary diligence that still applies: confirm the assessment on the specific parcel using our CDD fees explainer, and confirm school zoning for the exact address with our schools guide.

Issa Homes in Lake Nona: pros and cons

What works. Depth inside one community is the strongest thing here — 54 homes over two decades in a single club means the crews, the subcontractors and the approval process are all familiar territory, and it means an unusually large reference set you can actually call. The company has been vetted by organizations with reputational risk of their own and has kept those relationships for decades. The stated low-volume philosophy is consistent with the delivery counts rather than contradicted by them. And the signature open plans, connecting interior space to the outdoors, have aged well in a climate that rewards that.

What does not. This is a small private company, so the entity behind a warranty question in year ten is a modest business rather than a corporation. Custom building is the slowest, least predictable and most expensive route to a house, and no builder's track record removes that. Issa is no longer building in Laureate Park, so if that neighborhood is where you want to be, this builder is a resale-only proposition there. And at the club, the club is a substantial separate cost that has nothing to do with the builder and everything to do with what the address costs to own.

Our take. If you are building inside Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, Issa's fifty-four homes are the single most useful fact available to you — not because volume equals quality, but because it means dozens of people inside that gate can tell you what working with this builder was actually like. That is a resource no other custom builder in the club can match at the same scale, and most buyers never use it. Ask for the list. Call ten of them. Whatever you conclude, you will have made the decision on evidence rather than on a brochure, which at these prices is the least you should do.

What the neighbors know

Inside the club, Issa is a familiar name in a way that outside builders are not — two decades and fifty-plus houses means residents have watched the same crews work on street after street, and that familiarity is its own kind of reference. People there tend to know which houses are Issa's without checking.

The other thing residents mention is the open plans. Issa's signature is connecting interior living space to the outdoors, and in a community built around lakes, oaks and a Fazio golf course, that orientation is the whole point of being there. The houses are designed to look out, which is what people who chose this address wanted in the first place.

Frequently asked questions

Which Lake Nona neighborhoods did Issa Homes build?

Two: Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, where Issa has built continuously since 2003, and Laureate Park, where it built for a period and is no longer actively building.

How many homes has Issa Homes built in Lake Nona?

Fifty-four inside Lake Nona Golf & Country Club between 2003 and 2024, according to the company, ranging from about $1.2 million to nearly $4 million. That is the largest count of any custom builder working inside the club.

When was Issa Homes founded?

1972, by Francis Issa. Don Hempel joined as managing partner in the late 1980s and the company built more than 600 homes in Arvida's Weston community over about thirteen years before moving to Central Florida in 1998.

Is Issa Homes still building in Laureate Park?

No. Issa Homes built in Laureate Park for a period and is no longer actively building there. Its current Lake Nona work is inside Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, including the Cromwell expansion.

What is Issa Homes building in Cromwell?

Issa was one of five custom builders assigned lots in the first Cromwell release at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club. Its first home there was a two-story, five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath house of about 4,265 square feet on a quarter-acre lot, priced at $3.875 million when construction started in early 2024. The company described it as its 54th home in Lake Nona.

Lake Nona Custom Home Builders: The Country Club Four

Four builders, one address, and the first major expansion of Lake Nona's original neighborhood in nearly forty years.

Custom estate home under construction on a golf-front lot inside Lake Nona Golf and Country Club

Four custom builders work exclusively inside Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in the Lake Nona area: Akers Custom Homes, DeVoe Custom Homes, Goehring & Morgan Construction and Maroon Fine Homes. Issa Homes and Phil Kean Designs also build there and in Laureate Park. The club is a 600-acre private residential golf community established in 1986 around an 18-hole Tom Fazio championship course. Cromwell, along the south shore of Lake Nona, is its first major expansion; Tavistock Development Company platted around 46 lots in the initial release and assigned three lots to each of five custom builders, with spec homes priced from roughly $3.875 million when construction began in early 2024. Homes inside the club record under plat names such as Lake Nona Estates rather than under the club name.

Every other post in this builders series covers a company that works across neighborhoods. This one covers four companies that work inside a single gate.

Akers, DeVoe, Goehring & Morgan and Maroon Fine Homes build custom estate homes in Lake Nona Golf & Country Club and, within the Lake Nona area, essentially nowhere else. Grouping them on one page is not a shortcut — it is the accurate way to describe the situation, because the decision a buyer faces here is not "which neighborhood" but "which builder, on which lot, inside one club."

Who builds inside the club, and where else do they work?

Four builders work only inside Lake Nona Golf & Country Club in this area; two others build there and in Laureate Park as well.

What is Lake Nona Golf & Country Club?

The original Lake Nona — a 600-acre private residential golf community established in 1986, four decades before the master plan grew up around it.

This is worth stating plainly because the sequence surprises people. Medical City, the Town Center, Laureate Park, the whole modern idea of Lake Nona — all of it came later. The club came first, built around an 18-hole championship course Tom Fazio designed in 1986, threaded through pine forest, oak groves and freshwater lakes.

The course is ranked among the top 100 in the world and has hosted the Solheim Cup, the World Cup of Golf, the Tavistock Cup and LPGA championship events. The membership has long included touring professionals, which is most of the club's reputation outside Orlando.

Beyond golf: a clubhouse of roughly 40,000 square feet with dining rooms, a wine cellar, a grill room and a golf shop; an 18-room guest lodge overlooking Lake Nona and the 18th fairway; and the Bath & Racquet Club with a fitness center, tennis courts, a resort-style pool and a playground. There is boat ramp access to the lake, and the community runs 24-hour gated security and concierge services.

That boat ramp matters more than it sounds. Lake Nona is a private ski lake with no public access, and the club is one of only two residential neighborhoods on it — the other being Water's Edge. Compare the club against other golf communities in the area on our Lake Nona golf courses page.

What is the Cromwell expansion?

The first major expansion of the club, along the south shore of Lake Nona — and the reason all four of these builders have new inventory at once.

Tavistock Development Company, the master developer of Lake Nona, platted a new section it calls Cromwell along the south shore of the lake. The initial release ran to roughly 46 lots. Rather than selling them off individually, Tavistock assigned three lots to each of five custom builders — Akers, DeVoe, Goehring & Morgan, Maroon and Issa — who began construction on spec homes in early 2024 priced from roughly $3.875 million.

Some specifics from that first wave give a sense of the scale: Goehring & Morgan started a five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath house of about 5,866 square feet with a three-car garage on a half-acre lot, priced just under $4.4 million. Many of the lots back to a large pond with a seawall, which creates separation from the commercial buildings on the far side.

Two practical notes. First, prices and availability from a 2024 release do not describe today's market — treat those figures as scale indicators, not as current pricing, and check what is actually available now on our new construction listings. Second, Cromwell records in the MLS as Lake Nona Estates 10, not as Cromwell and not as Lake Nona Golf & Country Club.

That last point applies across the whole club. Homes inside the gate record under plat names like Lake Nona Estates and various Lake Nona phase and parcel designations. If you search by the club's name you will find a fraction of the inventory and a fraction of the sold history. This is the same recorded-name problem that hides inventory in Summerdale Park and Nona Terrace, and it matters more here because the numbers are larger.

The four builders

Each of these companies is small, Central Florida based, and building estate homes inside one gate — but they are separate businesses with separate histories.

Akers Custom Homes

Building in Central Florida since 1988, Akers concentrates on one-of-a-kind custom homes in prominent gated communities and specializes in homes above 5,000 square feet of living space. Within the Lake Nona area it builds inside Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, including the Cromwell expansion, where it has had homes under construction.

DeVoe Custom Homes

DeVoe describes its approach in terms of integrity, professionalism, transparency and excellence, and has built a reputation for architecturally distinctive custom work. Alongside its Cromwell homes, DeVoe has been associated with an enclave of villas along the club's golf practice facility — a smaller-footprint product inside the club, which is unusual and worth knowing about if the estate-home scale is more house than you want.

Goehring & Morgan Construction

Founded in 1984 by Kim Goehring and Chris Morgan, who between them bring more than 75 years of construction experience, Goehring & Morgan has been building luxury custom homes across Central Florida's more desirable neighborhoods for four decades. It is the longest-established of the four and was among the builders assigned lots in the first Cromwell release.

Maroon Fine Homes

Maroon builds custom estate homes inside the club and was among the five builders assigned lots in the initial Cromwell release. Its principal has spoken publicly about the Cromwell lots, noting that most back to a large pond with a seawall — an amenity that also buffers the section from the commercial development beyond.

Deliberately absent from those four paragraphs: any ranking. These are small private companies building bespoke houses, and the quality of your experience will depend far more on the specific team, the specific architect and the specific contract than on anything published about the firm. What follows is how to actually tell them apart.

How do you choose among them?

Look at completed houses, talk to the owners of those houses, and read the contract structure — in that order.

Walk finished work, not models. A custom builder's portfolio is its real product. Ask each builder for addresses of homes they completed three to seven years ago inside the club, not just the newest spec. Recent work shows you what they are selling; older work shows you how it holds up.

Ask for owner references and actually call them. The questions worth asking are about process, not aesthetics: Did the schedule hold? How were change orders priced? What happened when something went wrong after closing? A builder who cannot produce references from completed jobs inside this club has told you something.

Read the contract structure before you fall in love with a rendering. Fixed price versus cost-plus, how allowances are set and what happens when you exceed them, how change orders are priced, what the draw schedule looks like, and what the warranty actually covers and for how long. On a build at this level, the contract is the product.

Understand who is designing. Some homes here come from the builder's in-house design capability, some from an independent architect the buyer hires. Those are different projects with different cost structures and different lines of accountability. Settle that early.

Separate the club from the house. Membership terms, categories and costs are set by the club, not by your builder or your seller, and they are a substantial ongoing obligation independent of the purchase. Confirm the current terms with the club directly before you commit to anything.

What should you check before buying or building here?

The recorded plat name, the lot's specific position, the appraisal reality, and the club's current terms.

Plat name first, for the search reasons above. Pull sold data under Lake Nona Estates and the relevant phase and parcel designations, not just the club name, or you are pricing against a partial history.

Lot position second, and it drives value more than square footage does at this level. Golf frontage, lake frontage, pond frontage and interior are four different assets with four different price bands, and what is behind and across from the lot matters as much as what the lot itself has. Go stand on it.

Appraisal third. Custom estate homes at this price point in a small community are inherently hard to appraise — there may be no genuinely comparable recent sale, and every house is bespoke. If you are financing rather than paying cash, treat the appraisal as an event to plan for rather than a formality.

Then the ordinary diligence that still applies at any price: confirm the assessment on the specific parcel rather than trusting a listing remark — our CDD fees explainer covers how — and confirm school zoning for the exact address with our schools guide, since OCPS assignments can change.

Building in the club: pros and cons

What works. This is the only address in the Lake Nona area where a top-100 golf course, a private ski lake with a boat ramp, a 40,000-square-foot clubhouse and a genuine custom build all sit behind one gate. The four builders are small, established, Central Florida companies whose principals are typically involved in the work rather than running a division of a national. Cromwell is a rare event — the first major expansion of a community that has been essentially built out for years, which means new lots in a place that has not had them. And the club's history and membership give the address a durability that newer luxury product does not have.

What does not. Custom building is the longest, most expensive and least predictable way to acquire a house, and it goes wrong more often than production building does because there are more decisions and fewer standard answers. Small private builders have small balance sheets; if a warranty question arises in year eight, the company answering it is a local firm, not a corporation. Club membership is a substantial and separate ongoing cost that buyers routinely underestimate. Appraisal and resale in a small, bespoke market are genuinely harder in both directions. And the recorded-name problem means most buyers never see the full sold history before they price an offer.

Our take. The club is the most distinctive address in Lake Nona and Cromwell is the first real opportunity to buy new inside it in a long time, so the interest is warranted. What I would not do is choose a builder from a website. All four of these firms produce serious work; the difference between a good outcome and an expensive one is almost entirely in the contract, the schedule discipline and how change orders get priced — none of which appears in marketing. Walk three completed houses per builder, call the owners, and have someone read the agreement who is looking out for you rather than for the project. Do that and this is a genuinely rare purchase. Skip it and you will learn why custom building has the reputation it has.

What the neighbors know

The membership is the thing residents talk about, and specifically who else lives there. A club whose homeowners have included a long list of touring professionals develops a particular social texture — people are used to neighbors who travel constantly and want to be left alone when they are home. Longtime members describe that as the appeal rather than a curiosity.

The other recurring subject is the lake. Boat ramp access to a private ski lake with no public entry is the amenity residents mention that outsiders never think of, and it is one of only two addresses in the whole area that has it. And on the golf side, what members say about the Fazio course is consistent: it is understated rather than showy, which is exactly why it has aged as well as it has.

Frequently asked questions

Who are the custom home builders in Lake Nona Golf & Country Club?

Akers Custom Homes, DeVoe Custom Homes, Goehring & Morgan Construction and Maroon Fine Homes build exclusively within the club in the Lake Nona area. Issa Homes and Phil Kean Designs also build there, and both build in Laureate Park as well.

What is Cromwell at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club?

Cromwell is the first major expansion of Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, a section along the south shore of Lake Nona platted by Tavistock Development Company. Around 46 lots were platted in the initial release, and five custom builders were each assigned three lots to build spec homes. When construction began in early 2024, those homes were priced from roughly $3.875 million.

Why do Lake Nona Golf & Country Club homes record as Lake Nona Estates?

Lake Nona Estates is the recorded plat name for much of the club community, and MLS records key to the plat rather than the club name. Homes inside the club commonly appear under subdivision labels such as Lake Nona Estates, Lake Nona Estates 10 for the Cromwell section, or various Lake Nona phase and parcel designations. Searching only for the club name will miss most of the inventory.

Do you have to be a club member to buy in Lake Nona Golf & Country Club?

Club membership and home ownership are separate matters, and membership terms are set by the club rather than by any builder or seller. Because the club is private and the arrangement can change, confirm the current membership requirements, categories and costs directly with the club before you commit to a purchase or a build contract.

What amenities does Lake Nona Golf & Country Club have?

The 600-acre community includes an 18-hole championship course designed by Tom Fazio and opened in 1986, a clubhouse of roughly 40,000 square feet with dining and a golf shop, an 18-room guest lodge overlooking the 18th fairway, and a Bath & Racquet Club with a fitness center, tennis courts, resort pool and playground. There is boat ramp access to Lake Nona, and the community has 24-hour gated security.
