SILVER LAKE ESTATES (LEESBURG, FL): 11 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, an 8-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, median closings ran near original asking (98.5%); the median sale took 53 days; new construction was 54.5% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-08-02).

Over the recorded series, SILVER LAKE ESTATES’s median sold price moved from $245,000 (2015) to $361,141 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +47% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2015 at $245,000. Against the 2025 peak of $645,000, the current median stands at -44%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 11 closings a year (10-yr average 3.3). With roughly 3.3 closings a year, SILVER 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: 99% single-family residence, 1% manufactured home - post 1977, with a median of 2,306 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $196 in the current window.
Of the 16 recorded SILVER LAKE ESTATES closings since 2024, half landed between $342,544 and $671,875 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $260,000 and the highest $920,000.

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 ($216 vs $196) — 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 1,390–1,770 sq ft | $196 | $294,858 | $260,000 – $530,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 2,104–2,385 sq ft | $167 | $361,141 | $320,177 – $690,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 2,700–6,724 sq ft | $216 | $665,000 | $595,000 – $920,000 | 6 |

At SILVER LAKE ESTATES’s $361,141 median and Lake County’s adopted 16.65 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,010 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $5,340 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 $364,182 against the $361,141 recorded sold median (+1%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 3.2 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 29% of SILVER 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, 161 SILVER 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 68% of SILVER LAKE ESTATES listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 25%. Momentum’s market-heat index for SILVER LAKE ESTATES reads 59/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 10% of recorded SILVER LAKE ESTATES sales in the window ending 2026-06 (1 of 10) — 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 SILVER LAKE ESTATES buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.
