⚠️

Property taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.

Current owner’s estimated bill $1,075/yr ($90/mo) — taxable value $64,148 × 16.65 mills

(+333%)

Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.

How it stacks up

Comparable recent sales

6 closed sales within about 3 miles in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Median of these 6 sales: $344,495 ($208/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.

The Messtimate™

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.

$262,668the mess$399,784

Stronger local evidence — 6 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.

Actual list price: $330,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.

A 52% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:

  • Condition & updates — a 1972 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 — the band above comes from 6 nearby sales; one flip or distressed sale moves the whole $/sq ft.
  • Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
  • The pool — a private pool carries cost and value that living area doesn't capture.

And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:

  • 0 active listings competing, 1 under contract

For reference, this home is listed at $330,000 ($200/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 3996 Lake Eleanor Dr, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1972 (54 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
  • 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 Lake County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
  • Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
  • Listed living area is 1,652 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 $4,650/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $3,575 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+333%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
  • Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Answered before you ask

Frequently asked questions

How big is 3996 Lake Eleanor Dr and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 3996 Lake Eleanor Dr was built in 1972 and has 1,652 sq ft of living area, 3 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 3996 Lake Eleanor Dr in?

3996 Lake Eleanor Dr is in Golden Heights 2Nd Add Sub in Mount Dora, Lake County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.

Does 3996 Lake Eleanor Dr have an HOA?

The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.

Why might property taxes on 3996 Lake Eleanor Dr differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $4,650 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $3,575 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+333%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.

Is 3996 Lake Eleanor Dr 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.
