The recorded series starts in 2017 at $506,234. Against the 2023 peak of $1,750,000, the current median stands at -55%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 19 closings a year (10-yr average 7.8). With roughly 7.8 closings a year, WEST LAKE HANCOCK ESTATES’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.
What actually trades here: 93% single-family residence, 7% ?, with a median of 2,780 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $270 in the current window.

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 ($381 vs $272) — less common, and usually a sign of newer or upgraded product at the top of the range.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,721–2,716 sq ft | $272 | $572,500 | $530,000 – $740,000 | 12 |
| Mid-size homes 2,780–4,006 sq ft | $266 | $826,250 | $725,000 – $1,237,500 | 12 |
| Larger homes 4,056–5,749 sq ft | $381 | $1,645,000 | $1,050,000 – $2,575,000 | 12 |

At WEST LAKE HANCOCK ESTATES’s $785,000 median and Orange County’s adopted 16.67 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $13,090 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $12,420 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.
Current asking prices run a median $1,105,000 against the $785,000 recorded sold median (+41%) — 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: 20% of WEST LAKE HANCOCK ESTATES’s listings are under contract, against 28% for ZIP 34787 and 26% for Orange County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2015, 77 WEST LAKE HANCOCK ESTATES listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (3 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide.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 56% of WEST LAKE HANCOCK ESTATES listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 38%. Momentum’s market-heat index for WEST LAKE HANCOCK ESTATES reads 38/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 36% of recorded WEST LAKE HANCOCK ESTATES sales in the window ending 2026-06 (5 of 14) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. With asking prices running +41% over the recorded sold median, a WEST LAKE HANCOCK ESTATES 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.
