The recorded series starts in 2015 at $100,000. Against the 2022 peak of $292,500, the current median stands at -5%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 10 closings a year (10-yr average 3.4). With roughly 3.4 closings a year, TAVARES LAKEWOOD PARK’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. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($206 vs $195) — 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 1,194–1,358 sq ft | $206 | $261,000 | $185,000 – $285,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 1,518–1,645 sq ft | $167 | $269,900 | $247,500 – $275,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 1,658–2,719 sq ft | $195 | $470,000 | $280,000 – $725,000 | 7 |

At TAVARES LAKEWOOD PARK’s $277,500 median and Lake County’s adopted 16.65 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,620 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,950 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.
Demand check: 0% of TAVARES LAKEWOOD PARK’s listings are under contract, against 20% for ZIP 32778 and 26% for Lake County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information.
