The recorded series starts in 2012 at $185,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — WALDEN LAKE’s median moved +49% from 2019 to 2022.

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 ($220 vs $186) — 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 1,247–1,998 sq ft | $220 | $337,450 | $270,000 – $517,000 | 36 |
| Mid-size homes 2,044–2,533 sq ft | $199 | $462,450 | $315,000 – $602,500 | 36 |
| Larger homes 2,567–3,923 sq ft | $186 | $535,000 | $380,000 – $796,000 | 37 |

At WALDEN LAKE’s $425,000 median and Hillsborough County’s adopted 15.73 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,680 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,060 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 Hillsborough County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $474,000 against the $425,000 recorded sold median (+12%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 1.7 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of WALDEN LAKE’s listings are under contract, against 34% for ZIP 33563 and 25% for Hillsborough County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2004, 535 WALDEN LAKE listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (6 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 56% of WALDEN LAKE listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 23%. Momentum’s market-heat index for WALDEN LAKE reads 40/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 27% of recorded WALDEN LAKE sales in the window ending 2026-06 (11 of 41) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. With asking prices running +12% over the recorded sold median, a WALDEN LAKE 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.
