Homes for Sale in Montverde, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 21 closed sales in Franklin Pond in Montverde, FL since 2004, the most recent in May 2026. Across Montverde as a whole, 67 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $650,000, 50 median days on market, with 17 homes for sale today. At that median and Lake County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.65 mills, annual property tax runs about $10,820 ($10,150 with the full homestead exemption).
Franklin Pond is a small community in Montverde — just 49 homes — built across a long stretch from 1988 through 2021, with the median home dating to 2003. That mix is what actually sets price here: two homes on the same street can be a generation apart in age and condition, so what you pay tracks the individual home more than the neighborhood. With a median living area around 1,482 square feet, this is a modest-footprint community, and updates, systems age, and lot specifics do the heavy lifting on value.
About 71 percent of homes here are homestead-occupied, which tells you turnover is on the lower side and inventory tends to trickle rather than flood. For a buyer, that means patience and readiness to move when the right listing surfaces. For a seller, it means fewer directly comparable sales at any given moment, so pricing to your home's actual condition matters more than leaning on a headline average.

The Franklin Pond buying strategy.
If we were buying in Franklin Pond 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 Franklin Pond.
A small, mixed-vintage community
With only 49 homes and a build range from 1988 to 2021, Franklin Pond does not behave like a uniform subdivision. The median year built of 2003 sits in the middle of a wide spread, which means you will find both original-era homes and much newer construction here. The practical takeaway: read each home on its own terms — roof, HVAC, and finish level will swing value more than the address does.
The median living area of roughly 1,482 square feet points to right-sized floor plans rather than sprawling ones. Combine that with a high homestead share and you get a community that trades quietly and rewards buyers who have done their homework and can act when a well-kept listing appears.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Franklin Pond. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
