Data is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed by the MLS to be accurate.The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
Actual list price: $230,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1981 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
- The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- This home: 1 days on market vs. a 130-day community median
- 766 active listings competing, 230 under contract
For reference, this home is listed at $230,000 ($172/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 16 Escondido Circle #221, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1981 (45 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Condominium: request the association's budget, reserves, the most recent milestone or structural inspection report, and two years of meeting minutes before relying on the dues.
- FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Seminole County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Listed living area is 1,339 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $2,415/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Per the listing record, 16 Escondido Circle #221 was built in 1981 and has 1,339 sq ft of living area, 2 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 16 Escondido Circle #221 in?
16 Escondido Circle #221 is in Escondido Sec 7 in Altamonte Springs, Seminole County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Escondido Sec 7 from the same MLS data.
Why might property taxes on 16 Escondido Circle #221 differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $2,415 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price. Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment resets after a sale, so a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 16 Escondido Circle #221 in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
