Bear Lake Hills (Apopka, FL): 7 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 6-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 96.7% of original asking; the median sale took 33 days (window ending 2026-09-20).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $274,000 | $234 | 33 | 96.7% | 7 |

| 2014 | $92,000 | $85 | 19 | 97.7% | 3 |
Over the recorded series, Bear Lake Hills’s median sold price moved from $92,000 (2014) to $274,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +198% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $92,000. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 7 closings a year (10-yr average 2.9). With roughly 2.9 closings a year, Bear Lake Hills’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
Of the 15 recorded Bear Lake Hills closings since 2024, half landed between $212,500 and $305,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $169,500 and the highest $367,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $175,000 | 2 (13%) | |
| $175,000 – $225,000 | 2 (13%) | |
| $225,000 – $275,000 | 6 (40%) | |
| $275,000 – $325,000 | 4 (27%) | |
| None and up | 1 (7%) |
The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($233 vs $196) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 864–1,114 sq ft | $233 | $260,000 | $169,500 – $274,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 1,136–1,294 sq ft | $180 | $232,000 | $170,000 – $320,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 1,300–1,734 sq ft | $196 | $300,000 | $225,000 – $367,000 | 5 |
At Bear Lake Hills’s $274,000 median and Seminole County’s adopted 15.18 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,160 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,560 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Seminole County tax page.
Demand check: 100% of Bear Lake Hills’s listings are under contract, against 30% for ZIP 32703 and 25% for Seminole County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings.
