As of October 2026, Northwood Terrace in Winter Park, FL has 1 home for sale. Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, 4 recorded sales closed at a median of $575,000, $370 per square foot, a median 17 days on market, sellers accepting 95% of original asking (-22% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1952–2026 with 1 new construction; none of the 7 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 117 ft). At the median price and Orange County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.67 mills, annual property tax runs about $9,590 ($8,910 with the full homestead exemption).
Northwood Terrace is a small pocket of Winter Park where price is driven by condition and lot, not by square footage alone. With a median living area of roughly 1,595 sq ft, a median built in 1953, and homes spanning 1948 to 2024, you are buying into an older housing stock with scattered newer construction and rebuilds. That mix is exactly why the median lands near $520,000 while the per-foot number sits around $357.75 — you are paying for location and, in many cases, what has been done to the house since 1953.
The current posture is measured, not frantic. A median of 28 days on market and a heat score of 29 point to a market that is moving without urgency, so buyers have room to inspect and negotiate rather than waive everything to win. The steep year-over-year change reflects a very thin sample — only 7 closings in the window across 217 homes — so read it as a small-sample swing, not a trend you should price a decision around. Sellers should price to the house's actual condition; buyers should underwrite the renovation, not the listing photos.

🟡 Balanced market. 2.0 months of supply and 50% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Stellar MLS records, as of September 20, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 4 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($575K) is down 22.3% from the prior 12 months ($740K). With about 3 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Stellar MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 20.

The Northwood Terrace buying strategy.
If we were buying in Northwood Terrace today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Northwood Terrace.
Why the spread is wide
When housing stock runs from 1948 to 2024, two homes on the same street can trade for very different numbers, and the median masks that. A largely original 1950s house and a recent rebuild are both in this data set, which is why we lean on condition rather than a headline price band. We do not have a verified price range for Northwood Terrace, so treat the $520,000 median as your anchor and adjust for what the specific house needs.
The high homestead share of roughly 69% signals a neighborhood held by long-term owners, which usually means fewer listings and homes that don't sit long once they're priced right. With just 7 closings in the reporting window, patience matters on both sides: a buyer may wait for the right house to surface, and a seller benefits from timing a launch when comparable inventory is scarce.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Northwood Terrace. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (5.4). Basis: Recent Direction -22.3% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 2.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 69% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 94.5% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here

In a low-turnover pocket, our job is to help you move decisively on the right house and to price a sale against real, current inventory.
