Clear Lake Shores
Homes for Sale in Orlando, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Clear Lake Shores prices off land and lot, not square footage. With a median year built of 1954 and a median living area of 1,268 square feet, this is a small-footprint, older housing stock, and the median price of $219,000 reflects that — you are largely buying location and lot, then budgeting for what the structure needs.
An 11-day median days-on-market, based on the trailing 3 months of closings, tells you offers move fast once a home is priced correctly for its condition. For sellers, that argues for pricing tight to comparable recent closings rather than testing the market. For buyers, it means diligence and financing need to be lined up before you tour, not after you write an offer.
The 60-Second Overview
Clear Lake Shores market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $219K ($263 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 11 days on market for closed sales.
Clear Lake Shores is a community of 153 homes in Orlando, Orange County, built between 1924 and 2023 (median 1954), with a median living area of about 1,268 square feet. 26% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Clear Lake Shores is a small, established pocket of 153 homes in Orlando (Orange County) built mostly in the mid-20th century, with a spread running from 1924 to 2023 — so early-1950s construction sits alongside scattered rebuilds and newer infill.
Who Clear Lake Shores is best for.
Best for
- Buyers seeking a smaller, older home near the $219,000 median and willing to plan for renovation or updates
- Investors evaluating a pocket with a notably low homestead share and established rental or resale activity
- Buyers who move decisively — this market's 11-day median days-on-market rewards readiness, not browsing
Probably not for
- Buyers who want new or near-new construction as the norm rather than the exception
- Buyers expecting community amenities such as a clubhouse, pool, or gated access — none are identified here
- Buyers who need a slow, low-competition search process to feel comfortable
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 15 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($219K) IS the median in the snapshot above.
Windows contain 0 to 3 sales each (3 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period %s through %s. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
The Clear Lake Shores buying strategy.
If we were buying in Clear Lake Shores today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Clear Lake Shores.
An older, tighter-footprint pocket with fast turnover
The median $263.22 price per square foot against a $219,000 median price is a signal worth sitting with: smaller homes on a per-foot basis are commanding real money, which usually points to lot value, location, or renovation upside carrying the price rather than raw square footage. Expect the condition spread here to be wide — a home built in 1924 and one built in 2023 can sit blocks apart, and that means no two listings should be judged by the same yardstick.
The homestead share sits at 26.4%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the homes in this pocket are not owner-occupied under Florida's homestead exemption. That is a meaningful data point for anyone evaluating the community — it suggests a market with real investor and rental activity alongside primary residents, which can affect everything from turnover pace to how consistently individual properties are maintained. No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so whatever draws a buyer here is coming from the home and the location itself, not a clubhouse or gate.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Clear Lake Shores. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
