IMPERIAL MOBILE TERRACE 5TH ADD
Homes for Sale in TAVARES, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.

Imperial Mobile Terrace is a 64-home manufactured/mobile home community built out between 1978 and 1989, with a median build year of 1980. The housing stock is compact, with a median living area of 1,200 square feet, which puts a hard ceiling on what any given unit can command relative to site-built homes in Tavares.
There are zero active listings as of this snapshot, so there is no current inventory to read for pricing or pace. A homestead share of 57.8% tells you a majority of these homes are owner-occupied primary residences rather than rentals or investment holdings, which tends to support steadier turnover and more consistent upkeep across the community than you'd see in a rental-heavy park.
The 60-Second Overview
Imperial Mobile Terrace 5th Add is a small, established mobile home community in Tavares built almost entirely in a single decade (1978-1989), giving it a consistent housing stock rather than a mix of eras.

The IMPERIAL MOBILE TERRACE 5TH ADD buying strategy.
If we were buying in IMPERIAL MOBILE TERRACE 5TH ADD 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 IMPERIAL MOBILE TERRACE 5TH ADD.
A tight, uniform pocket of Tavares
With only 64 homes and a build window spanning just eleven years, this community reads as a single, cohesive development rather than a patchwork of additions over time. The median 1,200 square foot footprint is consistent with the mobile home format and means buyers here are shopping a narrower size range than in most site-built subdivisions nearby.
No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so this is a community valued on the home itself and its site, not on shared recreational infrastructure. With zero active listings at the moment, anyone tracking this community should expect thin, intermittent inventory rather than a steady flow of comparable sales to watch.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in IMPERIAL MOBILE TERRACE 5TH ADD. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A community this small, with no active listings and no recent comparable sales to lean on, requires someone who tracks off-MLS activity and knows how mobile home ownership structures (land, park, or co-op) affect value here. We do that legwork before you make an offer, not after.
