WATERLEIGH PH 2C-1
Homes for Sale in WINTER GARDEN, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Waterleigh Ph 2C-1 is a young section of Winter Garden, with homes built between 2017 and 2024 and a median build year of 2019. That newness is a big part of the story: at a median of $700,000 and about $240 per square foot on a median of roughly 2,758 living square feet, you are paying for recent construction rather than location scarcity. Price here is driven more by home size, finish, and condition than by any single premium lot type, and with only 165 homes in the phase the sample moves.
The current posture leans to the seller. A median 22 days on market is quick, and the year-over-year median is up 26.6%, though that figure sits on a thin window of just 7 closings and should be read as directional, not precise. Buyers should not expect much room to negotiate on well-presented homes, but the tight data set means one or two atypical sales can swing the headline number. Sellers have momentum; buyers should underwrite carefully and not chase the comp.

The 60-Second Overview
WATERLEIGH PH 2C-1 market snapshot (as of August 2, 2026): the median sale price is about $700K ($241 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 22 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is up 27% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales (7 closings in the current window).
WATERLEIGH PH 2C-1 is a community of 165 homes in WINTER GARDEN, Orange County, built between 2017 and 2024 (median 2019), with a median living area of about 2,758 square feet. 55% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
This is a compact, newer-construction phase where roughly 2,758-square-foot homes trade around a $700,000 median. With just over half the homes homesteaded, it reads as a mix of primary residences and non-owner-occupied holdings.
Who WATERLEIGH PH 2C-1 is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with a budget near the $700,000 median who want move-in-ready, recent construction over a fixer
- Purchasers who can act quickly and won't be scared off by a 22-day pace
- Investors comfortable in a phase where roughly half the homes are not owner-occupied
Probably not for
- Bargain hunters expecting to negotiate hard against a fast, seller-leaning market
- Buyers who want older, larger, or character homes rather than 2017-and-newer stock
- Anyone who needs deep comp history before committing — the closing volume here is thin

The WATERLEIGH PH 2C-1 buying strategy.
If we were buying in WATERLEIGH PH 2C-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 WATERLEIGH PH 2C-1.
Reading a thin, fast market
The headline numbers look strong, but the foundation is narrow. Seven closings in the tracked window is a small base for a 165-home phase, so both the 26.6% year-over-year move and the $240.63 median price-per-square-foot carry more noise than you would see in a larger community. Treat them as a snapshot of momentum, not a guarantee of where the next sale lands.
What holds up is the underlying product. Homes here are recent — nothing older than 2017 — and cluster around a median of 2,758 square feet, which keeps maintenance surprises lower than in older stock and narrows the spread in condition. The price spread you do see will track finish level and upgrades more than age. A homestead share of about 54.5% tells you this is a genuine residential phase with a meaningful non-owner-occupied slice, so expect some rental and second-home activity alongside primary buyers.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in WATERLEIGH PH 2C-1. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.

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 (7.6). Basis: Recent Direction +26.6% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 55% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 96.2% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a phase this small and this fast, the difference between a fair price and an over-pay comes down to how you read a handful of comps. We break down each closing on its own merits — square footage, upgrades, lot — rather than leaning on a median built from seven sales, and we tell you plainly when a listing is priced to the top of a thin market. That discipline protects buyers underwriting a $700,000 purchase and helps sellers price to the 22-day reality without leaving money on the table.
