Every figure below is from recorded MLS closings in UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS (ORLANDO, FL) — not an algorithm’s estimate. Medians, the 7-year price history, market time, and what the record says about selling here now. Window ending 2026-08-02; refreshes as new closings record.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 95.5% of original asking; the median sale took 54 days; new construction was 33.3% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-08-02).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $524,000 | $394 | 54 | 6 |
| 2025 | $896,500 | $322 | 4 | 4 |
| 2024 | $560,000 | $382 | 39 | 7 |
| 2022 | $510,000 | $297 | 20 | 8 |
| 2017 | $230,000 | $174 | 45 | 6 |

Over the recorded series, UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS’s median sold price moved from $356,000 (2015) to $524,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +47% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2015 at $356,000. Against the 2025 peak of $896,500, the current median stands at -42%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 9 closings a year (10-yr average 3.5). Small-community 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 in the table above.
What actually trades here: 99% single family residence, 1% half duplex, with a median of 1,442 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $394 in the current window. Price-per-square-foot is the cleaner yardstick when comparing your home to the medians — it corrects for the size mix in any given year.
Demand check: 100% of UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS’s listings are under contract, against 14% for ZIP 32304 and 26% for Orange County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Since 2004, 137 UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (3 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 76% of UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 43%. Momentum’s market-heat index for UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS reads 35/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 29% of recorded UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS sales in the window ending 2026-06 (2 of 7) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. For buyers, the same table reads the other way: the sold medians above are what the market has actually been paying — an asking price meaningfully above the recent closed record, in a community absorbing at the rates shown, is an opening position, not a value.
The pattern in the statewide failure data applies here too: homes priced against the latest closed sales sell; homes priced against hope join the 201,552 that didn’t. The table above is the closed-sale record to price against.
