HOURGLASS HOMES
Homes for Sale in ORLANDO, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.

The number that actually drives this market is the median year built: 1956. Hourglass Homes Orlando is an older, established pocket of the city, but the build range stretches all the way to 2024, which tells you there's been scattered teardown-and-rebuild or infill activity mixed into a base of mid-century housing stock. That combination - older homes next to newer construction - is exactly why pricing here should be evaluated house by house rather than by neighborhood averages.
With only one active listing against 576 total homes, there is essentially no live inventory to read right now. The 6.0 months of supply and balanced market label are derived from a very thin closings sample, so treat any current-moment read as directional, not definitive. If you're a buyer, that means the next listing that hits the market may not sit long enough for a second look. If you're a seller, it means you're not competing against a shelf of alternatives - but you also don't have recent comparable sales stacking up in your favor.

🟡 Balanced market. 4.0 months of supply and 50% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Stellar MLS records, as of August 2, 2026.

The 60-Second Overview
This is a long-established Orlando community of 576 homes with a median build year of 1956 and a build range running all the way to 2024, so the housing stock spans early-to-mid-20th-century construction alongside more recent additions. There are no community amenities identified from current MLS listings, meaning this reads as an individual-home market rather than an amenity-anchored subdivision.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

Who HOURGLASS HOMES is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting an older Orlando housing stock who are comfortable assessing individual homes on condition rather than relying on comparable listings.
- Buyers or investors interested in a community with a meaningful non-homestead share, where property may already be held for lease or resale purposes.
- Buyers open to a smaller living footprint, near the community's 1,540 sqft median, rather than newer large-format construction.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want to compare several active listings side by side before making a decision - inventory here is currently down to one.
- Buyers seeking a community built around shared amenities, since none have been identified from current MLS listings.
- Buyers who only want recently built homes with no interest in a mid-century median build year.

The HOURGLASS HOMES buying strategy.
If we were buying in HOURGLASS HOMES 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 HOURGLASS HOMES.
An older footprint with pockets of new build
Median living area here is 1,540 square feet, which is modest by newer-construction standards and consistent with the community's mid-century median build year. Homes at this size and age carry a wide range of condition - original systems and layouts on one end, renovated or rebuilt product on the other - and that condition spread is the main variable behind price rather than any single neighborhood feature.
Just over half of homes here - 53.5% - carry a homestead exemption, meaning the balance is held as non-homesteaded property: second homes, investment holdings, or recent purchases that haven't yet filed. That's a meaningful share of the housing stock turning over outside the typical owner-occupant cycle, which is worth factoring in if you're trying to gauge how much of this market is priced for long-term hold versus resale or lease.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in HOURGLASS HOMES. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With active inventory this thin - a single listing against 576 homes - timing and off-market awareness matter more than usual. Momentum tracks this pocket of Orlando closely enough to flag a listing the moment it surfaces, and we walk each property on its own condition and build-year merits rather than leaning on a formula that doesn't fit a market this varied.
