Over the recorded series, The Lakes’s median sold price moved from $165,300 (2012) to $409,700 (12 months ending 2026-08-31) — +148% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $165,300. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — The Lakes’s median moved +21% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $449,900, the current median stands at -9%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 2 to 21 closings a year (10-yr average 10.3). With roughly 10.3 closings a year, The Lakes’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.
Of the 20 recorded The Lakes closings since 2024, half landed between $391,000 and $449,925 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $77,500 and the highest $475,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $350,000 | 1 (5%) | |
| $350,000 – $391,667 | 4 (20%) | |
| $391,667 – $433,333 | 8 (40%) | |
| $433,333 – $475,000 | 5 (25%) | |
| None and up | 2 (10%) |
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 ($189 vs $181) — 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 1,981–2,138 sq ft | $189 | $377,000 | $350,000 – $450,000 | 6 |
| Mid-size homes 2,164–2,236 sq ft | $188 | $414,850 | $395,000 – $470,000 | 6 |
| Larger homes 2,260–3,126 sq ft | $181 | $440,950 | $77,500 – $475,000 | 8 |
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: 4 active listings (plus 0 pending) asking from $419,900 to $475,000, median $457,450; 3 of 4 have been on the market over 60 days (median 70 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 2007 and 2026 (median 2011), 2 of them new construction; 10 of 11 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $17/mo. For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current The Lakes listings →
At The Lakes’s $409,700 median and Glynn County’s 2025 unincorporated rate of 24.07 mills on Georgia’s 40% assessment ratio, a home valued at that price carries roughly $3,950 a year in property tax before homestead exemptions, which vary by county and school district. City rates differ from the unincorporated figure.
Current asking prices run a median $457,450 against the $409,700 recorded sold median (+12%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 6.9 months of supply at the current sales pace. Momentum’s market-heat index for The Lakes reads 42/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +12% over the recorded sold median, a The Lakes listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.
