HAINES LAKE ESTATES (LEESBURG, FL): 7 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 7-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 89.5% of original asking; the median sale took 129 days; new construction was 28.6% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-08-02).

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $280,000 | $184 | 129 | 89.5% | 7 |

Over the recorded series, HAINES LAKE ESTATES’s median sold price moved from $134,900 (2016) to $280,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +108% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2016 at $134,900. Against the 2025 peak of $324,500, the current median stands at -14%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 8 closings a year (10-yr average 3.6). With roughly 3.6 closings a year, HAINES LAKE ESTATES’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.
What actually trades here: 100% single-family residence, with a median of 1,543 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $184 in the current window.
Of the 17 recorded HAINES LAKE ESTATES closings since 2024, half landed between $280,000 and $315,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $238,700 and the highest $425,000. 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 $275,000 | 3 (18%) | |
| $275,000 – $308,333 | 6 (35%) | |

| $341,667 – $375,000 | 1 (6%) | |

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 ($200 vs $156) — 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 1,298–1,441 sq ft | $200 | $274,999 | $238,700 – $315,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 1,543–1,691 sq ft | $180 | $290,000 | $280,000 – $310,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 1,736–2,728 sq ft | $156 | $339,000 | $281,000 – $425,000 | 7 |

At HAINES LAKE ESTATES’s $280,000 median and Lake County’s adopted 16.65 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,660 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,990 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.
Current asking prices run a median $283,000 against the $280,000 recorded sold median (+1%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 3.4 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 33% of HAINES LAKE ESTATES’s listings are under contract, against 20% for ZIP 34788 and 26% for Lake County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Since 2004, 74 HAINES LAKE ESTATES listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (2 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 43% of HAINES LAKE ESTATES listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 40%. Momentum’s market-heat index for HAINES LAKE ESTATES reads 24/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 33% of recorded HAINES LAKE ESTATES sales in the window ending 2026-06 (2 of 6) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. Asking and recorded sold prices are within a few percent of each other here, so the table above is close to what a HAINES LAKE ESTATES buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.
