True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 14 closed sales in Groves/Baytree Ph 02 in Tavares, FL since 2015, the most recent in March 2026. Across Tavares as a whole, 428 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $329,990, 70 median days on market, with 125 homes for sale today. At that median and Lake County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.65 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,490 ($4,820 with the full homestead exemption).
There is not enough current MLS activity in Groves/Baytree to point to a clear pricing pattern right now. That is not unusual for a smaller Tavares subdivision — it simply means pricing here has to be built from comparable sales in nearby Lake County communities rather than from a deep pool of active listings inside the neighborhood itself.
For a buyer or seller, that translates into a straightforward posture: get a hyper-local comparison rather than relying on broad Tavares or Lake County averages, and expect any offer or listing strategy to be built home-by-home rather than off a neighborhood-wide trend line.

Who Groves/Baytree is best for.
Best for
- A buyer willing to verify amenities and HOA terms directly rather than rely on published community stats
- A buyer targeting a quieter Tavares location without needing a deep resale history in the immediate subdivision
- A seller comfortable pricing off nearby Lake County comparables in the absence of recent same-community sales
Probably not for
- A buyer who wants a documented track record of recent sales pace before making an offer
- A buyer who needs confirmed on-site amenities as a condition of purchase
- A seller expecting neighborhood-wide pricing data to set an asking price without outside comparables

The Groves/Baytree buying strategy.
If we were buying in Groves/Baytree 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 Groves/Baytree.
A quiet corner of Tavares
Groves/Baytree is a smaller-footprint community, and the MLS feed does not currently surface enough listing volume to draw firm conclusions about pricing bands, days on market, or turnover pace. Rather than force a stat that is not there, the honest read is that this is a community best evaluated one listing at a time.
No amenities are identified from current listings in the feed. That does not necessarily mean the community lacks any, only that the data available right now does not confirm them — worth verifying directly with the HOA or a recent resident before assuming either way.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Groves/Baytree. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
