Market Heat
What sets price in Foxfire is condition and size, not a uniform product. With a median build year of 1978 and a range stretching from 1945 to 2021, you are looking at an older core with scattered newer infill, so two homes at the same square footage can trade very differently depending on how much work has been done. The median sits at $295,000 on a median of about 1,215 square feet, which pencils to roughly $226 per square foot — a number that rewards updated, move-in-ready listings and punishes deferred maintenance.
The market posture right now is quick. A median of roughly 11 to 12 days on market means well-prepared listings are turning fast, so sellers who price to condition and stage cleanly are getting answered. For buyers, that pace is the main challenge: you need financing lined up and a willingness to decide, because the good, clean inventory does not sit.

The 60-Second Overview
FOXFIRE market snapshot (as of August 2, 2026): the median sale price is about $295K ($226 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 12 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is down 63% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales (4 closings in the current window).
FOXFIRE is a community of 60 homes in SARASOTA, Sarasota County, built between 1954 and 2020 (median 1979.5), with a median living area of about 3,386 square feet. 76% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Foxfire is an older, established Ocoee pocket in Orange County with a wide vintage spread — a 1945-to-2021 build range around a 1978 median — where the homes are modest in footprint and the price you pay tracks condition more than anything else.
Who FOXFIRE is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a modest, established Ocoee home near the $295,000 median who can act fast
- Renovation-minded buyers willing to trade dated finishes for a lower entry point
- Owner-occupants who value an established, owner-heavy pocket over a new subdivision
Probably not for
- Buyers who require new-construction finishes and consistent floor plans
- Anyone needing well above the ~1,215-square-foot median in living space
- Buyers who cannot decide quickly in a market moving at roughly 11 days on market
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 2 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($295K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($802K) IS the -63.2% one-year change.
Windows contain 0 to 8 sales each (4 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 2006 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The FOXFIRE buying strategy.
If we were buying in FOXFIRE 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 FOXFIRE.
An older core priced on condition
The 213-home count and the long build range tell you this is not a cookie-cutter subdivision. Expect variety in floor plans, lot treatment, and how far each owner has taken renovations. At a median of about 1,215 square feet, these are compact homes, so smart interior updates and usable outdoor space carry outsized weight in what a listing fetches.
A homestead share of roughly 57 percent points to a base of owner-occupants rather than a churn of short-hold investors, which tends to keep the housing stock reasonably maintained. Combined with the fast median days on market, that means when a genuinely updated home lists here, competition arrives quickly and preparation on both sides matters.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in FOXFIRE. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
