Over the recorded series, frst hills’s median sold price moved from $59,000 (2016) to $159,900 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +171% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2016 at $59,000. Against the 2023 peak of $160,000, the current median stands at -0%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 11 closings a year (10-yr average 4.5). With roughly 4.5 closings a year, frst 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 12 recorded frst hills closings since 2024, half landed between $81,875 and $201,875 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $59,000 and the highest $347,000. 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 $75,000 | 2 (17%) | |
| $75,000 – $150,000 | 4 (33%) | |
| $150,000 – $225,000 | 3 (25%) | |
| $225,000 – $300,000 | 2 (17%) | |

At frst hills’s $159,900 median and Lake County’s adopted 16.65 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $2,660 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $1,990 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 Lake County tax page.
