Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, 5 recorded sales closed at a median of $310,000, $168 per square foot, a median 17 days on market, sellers accepting 97% of original asking (-9% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1979–1979; 8 of 8 report an HOA (median $267/mo); none of the 8 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 87 ft). At the median price and Seminole County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.18 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,710 ($4,110 with the full homestead exemption).
Last 30 days in Lake Of The Woods: 2 new listings (median asking $329,950), 1 under contract right now. As of October 16, 2026, Listings courtesy of Stellar MLS as distributed by MLS GRID.
This is a townhome community of 150 homes built between 1978 and 1984, and that vintage does most of the work in setting price. At a median of $304,000 and roughly $174 per square foot across a median 1,721 living square feet, what you pay is driven less by location premium and more by condition — an updated interior versus an original one is the real spread here, not floor plan or address.
The market posture is soft. Prices are down 13.1% year over year, and the median home is taking about 41 days to sell. That combination tells a seller to price to the current market, not last year's, and it tells a buyer there is room to negotiate and time to inspect. With 68% of homes homesteaded as owner-occupied, most sellers here are moving on their own timeline rather than dumping, so deals get made but not at fire-sale terms.

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($310K) is down 9.2% from the prior 12 months ($341K). With about 2 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Stellar MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 20. Confidence: Low (5 and 6 sales in the two windows).

Who Lake Of The Woods is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a mid-$300s townhome who want space over newness and will hold for the medium to long term
- Value hunters comfortable budgeting for updates on an original-condition unit in exchange for a lower entry
- Owner-occupants who want an established, settled community rather than an active development
Probably not for
- Short-term buyers hoping to resell quickly, given the 13.1% year-over-year decline
- Anyone who wants move-in-ready with no deferred maintenance and no vintage systems to manage
- Buyers set on new construction or contemporary floor plans

The Lake Of The Woods buying strategy.
If we were buying in Lake Of The Woods 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 Lake Of The Woods.
Condition is the price
With every home in this section built in a narrow window and a median build year of 1979, the differences between listings come down to what previous owners did or did not do. Kitchens, baths, roofs, HVAC, and windows are where the value lives. Two units of the same 1,721-square-foot footprint can trade well apart depending on how much deferred maintenance a buyer inherits.
The soft year-over-year move and a median around 41 days on market mean nothing is selling itself. Sellers who prep and price realistically transact; those anchored to older comps sit. Buyers should budget for updates on original units and treat the median price of $304,000 as a midpoint, not a ceiling or a floor — the range is condition-driven.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Lake Of The Woods. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Lake Of The Woods buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (6.1). Basis: Recent Direction -9.2% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 68% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 96.9% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a condition-driven, softening market like this one, the deal is won on inspection and pricing discipline — not on hype. We help sellers position against the current 41-day reality instead of stale comps, and we help buyers separate cosmetic updates from the structural and mechanical items that actually move value in homes of this vintage.

What it really costs to own in Lake Of The Woods
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| HOA dues | Median $261/month across 226 MLS listings (most billed monthly; 2026-10-15). Dues cover what the documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study. |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Seminole County is $1,572/yr (1,203 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1979 across 7 listings. An original roof here would be about 47 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails. |
