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. Larger homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than smaller ones ($231 vs $215) — less common, and usually a sign of newer or upgraded product at the top of the range.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,402–1,627 sq ft | $215 | $347,500 | $335,000 – $363,000 | 8 |
| Mid-size homes 1,646–1,822 sq ft | $223 | $389,500 | $350,000 – $446,950 | 8 |
| Larger homes 1,822–2,034 sq ft | $231 | $449,000 | $405,000 – $510,000 | 9 |

For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current PALMS/SERENOA listings →
At PALMS/SERENOA’s $389,500 median and Lake County’s adopted 16.65 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,480 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $5,810 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 $375,000 against the $389,500 recorded sold median (-4%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 5 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 43% of PALMS/SERENOA’s listings are under contract, against 31% for ZIP 34714 and 26% for Lake County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Since 2021, 17 PALMS/SERENOA listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (3 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 30% of PALMS/SERENOA listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 27%.
Cash bought 22% of recorded PALMS/SERENOA sales in the window ending 2026-06 (2 of 9) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. Asking prices here currently sit -4% under the recorded sold median — sellers are pricing to move, and the closed record above is the number a buyer's appraiser will see.
