Orchid Estates (APOPKA, FL): 8 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 4-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 97.0% 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| 2022 | $490,000 | $199 | 8 | 100.2% | 9 |
Over the recorded series, Orchid Estates’s median sold price moved from $490,000 (2022) to $547,500 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +12% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
Of the 15 recorded Orchid Estates closings since 2024, half landed between $486,500 and $587,595 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $450,000 and the highest $665,000. 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 $475,000 | 1 (7%) | |
| $475,000 – $516,667 | 4 (27%) | |
| $516,667 – $558,333 | 2 (13%) | |
| $558,333 – $600,000 | 6 (40%) | |
| None and up | 2 (13%) |
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 ($198 vs $191) — 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 2,348–2,535 sq ft | $198 | $479,000 | $475,000 – $560,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 2,535–2,675 sq ft | $217 | $580,000 | $450,000 – $585,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 2,872–3,600 sq ft | $191 | $595,000 | $535,000 – $665,000 | 5 |

At Orchid Estates’s $547,500 median and Orange County’s adopted 16.67 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $9,130 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $8,460 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.
Current asking prices run a median $475,000 against the $547,500 recorded sold median (-13%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 1.5 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of Orchid Estates’s listings are under contract, against 31% for ZIP 32712 and 23% for Orange County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information.
Asking prices here currently sit -13% under the recorded sold median — sellers are pricing to move, and the closed record above is the number a buyer's appraiser will see.
