STERLING WOODS (SANFORD, FL): 4 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, 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 97.1% of original asking; the median sale took 16 days (window ending 2026-08-02).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |

| 2015 | $174,950 | $89 | 50 | 90.8% | 4 |
| 2014 | $184,000 | $96 | 18 | 100.0% | 5 |
Over the recorded series, STERLING WOODS’s median sold price moved from $184,000 (2014) to $440,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +139% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $184,000. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 9 closings a year (10-yr average 2.9). With roughly 2.9 closings a year, STERLING WOODS’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% ?, with a median of 2,142 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $201 in the current window.

At STERLING WOODS’s $440,000 median and Seminole County’s adopted 15.18 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,680 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,080 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 Seminole County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $399,900 against the $440,000 recorded sold median (-9%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 2.4 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of STERLING WOODS’s listings are under contract, against 28% for ZIP 32773 and 30% for Seminole County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2005, 86 STERLING WOODS listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (1 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 64% of STERLING WOODS listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 33%.
Cash bought 20% of recorded STERLING WOODS sales in the window ending 2026-06 (1 of 5) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. Asking prices here currently sit -9% under the recorded sold median — sellers are pricing to move, and the closed record above is the number a buyer's appraiser will see.
