Over the recorded series, SUNSHINE GARDENS 1ST ADD’s median sold price moved from $170,000 (2015) to $355,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +109% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2015 at $170,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — SUNSHINE GARDENS 1ST ADD’s median moved +57% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $360,000, the current median stands at -1%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 17 closings a year (10-yr average 6.1). With roughly 6.1 closings a year, SUNSHINE GARDENS 1ST ADD’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: 100% single-family residence, with a median of 1,266 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $280 in the current window.
Of the 26 recorded SUNSHINE GARDENS 1ST ADD closings since 2024, half landed between $275,000 and $414,975 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $224,000 and the highest $749,000.

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. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($319 vs $248) — 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 720–1,139 sq ft | $319 | $275,000 | $224,000 – $369,000 | 8 |
| Mid-size homes 1,139–1,379 sq ft | $264 | $335,000 | $225,000 – $450,000 | 8 |
| Larger homes 1,551–3,036 sq ft | $248 | $432,500 | $236,000 – $749,000 | 10 |

At SUNSHINE GARDENS 1ST ADD’s $355,000 median and Orange County’s adopted 16.67 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,920 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $5,250 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 $739,400 against the $355,000 recorded sold median (+108%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows.

Demand check: 50% of SUNSHINE GARDENS 1ST ADD’s listings are under contract, against 25% for ZIP 32804 and 26% for Orange County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Since 2009, 53 SUNSHINE GARDENS 1ST ADD listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (2 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide.

Momentum’s market-heat index for SUNSHINE GARDENS 1ST ADD reads 51/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 36% of recorded SUNSHINE GARDENS 1ST ADD sales in the window ending 2026-06 (4 of 11) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close.
