The recorded series starts in 2015 at $166,250. Against the 2024 peak of $399,900, the current median stands at -11%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 19 closings a year (10-yr average 7.4). With roughly 7.4 closings a year, SUNSHINE GARDENS’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.

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 ($286 vs $253) — 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 747–1,050 sq ft | $253 | $250,000 | $170,000 – $320,000 | 7 |
| Mid-size homes 1,069–1,238 sq ft | $313 | $345,000 | $300,000 – $417,500 | 7 |
| Larger homes 1,299–1,972 sq ft | $286 | $398,000 | $225,000 – $450,000 | 9 |

At SUNSHINE GARDENS’s $357,500 median and Orange County’s adopted 16.67 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,960 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $5,290 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 $340,000 against the $357,500 recorded sold median (-5%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 0.8 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 43% of SUNSHINE GARDENS’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 Since 2004, 145 SUNSHINE GARDENS listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (3 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 60% of SUNSHINE GARDENS listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 30%. Momentum’s market-heat index for SUNSHINE GARDENS reads 54/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 40% of recorded SUNSHINE GARDENS sales in the window ending 2026-06 (6 of 15) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. Asking prices here currently sit -5% under the recorded sold median — sellers are pricing to move, and the closed record above is the number a buyer's appraiser will see.
