Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the current median sale price for a property in Lake County, FL?

As of December 2025 the median sale price for properties in Lake County, FL, is recorded at $409,970. This figure represents 1556 of new construction homes by 33 of builders.

Who are the major developers of new construction homes in Lake County, FL?

When looking at new construction homes in Lake County, FL, you'll often find properties built by Maronda Homes, Lennar, Stanley Martin Homes, Dream Finders Homes and D.R. Horton. These developers have been key in shaping the area's new residential areas.

Where is the most significant new home development occurring in Lake County?

The primary driver of residential growth is the "South Lake" region, specifically Clermont, Minneola, and Groveland. This area is experiencing a surge in construction due to the Wellness Way sector plan, which is bringing thousands of new homes and amenities to the corridor connecting Hwy 27 and the Orange County border. In the northern part of the county, Leesburg and Tavares are also seeing steady expansion, particularly with large-scale active adult (55+) communities and more affordably priced single-family neighborhoods.

How does the location of Lake County impact commuting to Orlando?

For buyers working in downtown Orlando or the theme park districts, proximity to Florida’s Turnpike is the deciding factor. The completion of the Minneola interchange (Exit 278) has significantly reduced commute times for residents in the southern tier, providing a direct, high-speed link to the metro area. Residents in western communities like Groveland typically utilize Hwy 27 to reach the Turnpike or SR 50. Buyers should be aware that while South Lake offers convenient access, commuting from northern towns like Mount Dora requires more travel time on local highways like US-441.

Are there special assessments or CDD fees for new construction in Lake County?

Yes, many of the large master-planned communities in Lake County, particularly those in the rapidly developing South Lake corridor, are established as Community Development Districts (CDDs). This district issues bonds to fund infrastructure such as roads, utilities, and recreational amenities. The cost is passed to homeowners as an annual assessment on the property tax bill. Since CDD fees can vary widely—and some smaller infill developments may not have them at all—it is important to confirm the specific tax structure with the builder before purchasing.
