SYLVAN LAKE SHORES Home Values: What Homes Actually Sell For

SYLVAN LAKE SHORES (WINTER PARK, FL): 5 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, sellers accepted a median 97.0% of original asking; the median sale took 5 days; new construction was 20.0% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-08-02).

What homes of your size have sold for in SYLVAN LAKE SHORES

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 ($710 vs $461) — less common, and usually a sign of newer or upgraded product at the top of the range.

At SYLVAN LAKE SHORES’s $1,575,000 median and Orange County’s adopted 16.67 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $26,260 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $25,590 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.
