WILLOW RIDGE (MONTVERDE, FL): 14 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 4-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 95.7% of original asking; the median sale took 9 days; new construction was 92.9% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-08-02).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $650,000 | $225 | 9 | 95.7% | 14 |
| 2025 | $715,000 | $229 | 9 | 96.7% | 33 |

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 ($266 vs $205) — 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 1,889–2,894 sq ft | $266 | $636,150 | $530,000 – $780,000 | 22 |
| Mid-size homes 2,894–3,333 sq ft | $224 | $665,000 | $596,115 – $909,800 | 22 |
| Larger homes 3,333–5,314 sq ft | $205 | $856,890 | $658,990 – $999,660 | 22 |

At WILLOW RIDGE’s $650,000 median and Orange County’s adopted 16.67 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $10,840 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $10,170 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 $790,000 against the $650,000 recorded sold median (+22%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 1.9 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 50% of WILLOW RIDGE’s listings are under contract, against 21% for ZIP 34756 and 26% for Orange County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Since 2023, 19 WILLOW RIDGE listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (2 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide.
Cash bought 6% of recorded WILLOW RIDGE sales in the window ending 2026-06 (1 of 16) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. With asking prices running +22% over the recorded sold median, a WILLOW RIDGE 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.
