Hiawassee Meadows Ph 1
Homes for Sale in Orlando, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Hiawassee Meadows Ph 1 is a tight, single-phase pocket of 122 homes built between 1986 and 1990, with a median year built of 1987. That consistency in age matters more than any single stat here — buyers are shopping a fairly uniform construction era, so the spread in condition and updates from one listing to the next is what actually moves price, not lot size or floor plan variety.
At a median of $355,000 and roughly $197 per square foot, pricing is running tight to typical living area (median 1,366 sqft) for the immediate market. A 5-day median days-on-market and only 3 closings in the current window point to a thin, fast-moving slice of inventory — sellers pricing realistically are getting quick action, and buyers who wait to think it over are often shopping a shorter list a week later.
The 60-Second Overview
Hiawassee Meadows Ph 1 market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $355K ($197 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 5 days on market for closed sales.
Hiawassee Meadows Ph 1 is a community of 122 homes in Orlando, Orange County, built between 1986 and 1990 (median 1987), with a median living area of about 1,366 square feet. 57% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
A small, established Orlando community in Orange County where the housing stock was built within a narrow four-year window, giving the resale market a predictable baseline age rather than the mixed-vintage feel of larger subdivisions.
Who Hiawassee Meadows Ph 1 is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable evaluating an older housing stock built within a tight 1986-1990 window, prioritizing condition over age variety
- Buyers with a budget centered near the $355,000 median who want a resale home rather than new construction
- Buyers ready to move decisively given the fast, 5-day median turnover
Probably not for
- Buyers who want on-site community amenities as part of the purchase decision
- Buyers who need a large pool of active listings to compare before deciding
- Buyers set on the newest possible construction vintage
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 ($355K) IS the median in the snapshot above.
Windows contain 0 to 6 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 Hiawassee Meadows Ph 1 buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hiawassee Meadows Ph 1 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 Hiawassee Meadows Ph 1.
A Narrow Build Window, A Narrow Market
With only 122 homes total and construction concentrated between 1986 and 1990, Hiawassee Meadows Ph 1 doesn't behave like a large master-planned neighborhood with staggered releases and varied square footage. Most homes land near the median living area of 1,366 square feet, so differentiation between listings tends to come down to interior condition, updates, and lot specifics rather than floor plan or age.
The homestead share of 57.4% suggests a meaningful portion of owners have filed for homestead exemption, which typically signals longer-term occupancy rather than a market dominated by short-term investment turnover. Community amenities are not identified from current MLS listings, so this reads as a straightforward residential resale pocket — buyers should evaluate it on the home and lot itself, not on shared recreational features.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hiawassee Meadows Ph 1. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community this small — with a 5-day median days-on-market and only a handful of closings in the current window — timing and pricing precision matter more than usual. Momentum tracks this micro-market closely enough to tell a seller what a realistic list price looks like right now, and to help a buyer move fast when the right listing appears, without overpaying against a market that turns over quickly.
