Lakewood Forest (ORLANDO, FL): 3 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 6-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 96.2% of original asking; the median sale took 1 days (window ending 2026-09-20).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $240,000 | $187 | 1 | 96.2% | 3 |
| 2025 | $385,000 | $248 | 13 | 96.2% | 3 |
| 2022 | $325,500 | $196 | 7 | 100.2% | 3 |
| 2021 | $320,000 | $215 | 10 | 100.0% | 5 |
| 2017 | $219,500 | $120 | 17 | 98.6% | 7 |
| 2016 | $163,000 | $131 | 17 | 98.4% | 8 |
Over the recorded series, Lakewood Forest’s median sold price moved from $163,000 (2016) to $240,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +47% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2016 at $163,000. Against the 2025 peak of $385,000, the current median stands at -38%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 8 closings a year (10-yr average 2.6). With roughly 2.6 closings a year, Lakewood Forest’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.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-10-01: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1979 and 1981 (median 1979); 3 of 5 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $8/mo; none of the 5 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 76 ft).

At Lakewood Forest’s $240,000 median and Orange County’s adopted 16.67 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,000 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,330 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 Orange County tax page.
Demand check: 100% of Lakewood Forest’s listings are under contract, against 25% for ZIP 32810 and 23% for Orange County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings.
