Hey Mount Dora neighbors! Every month I pull the raw MLS data so you get the real story—no fluff, just numbers you can use. Last month we saw 71 homes close in our area: 51 resale and 20 brand-new construction. Here’s what the data actually says.
The Numbers at a Glance Resale homes closed with a median price of $384,800 and averaged $470,150. Price per square foot landed at a median of $225. New-construction homes carried a higher median price tag of $510,210 (average $500,644) but a noticeably lower median $190 per square foot—exactly what you’d expect when builders deliver larger, modern homes loaded with today’s finishes.
Days to contract averaged right around 8 weeks for both categories. That’s steady, healthy movement. List-to-sale ratios stayed strong: resale averaged 97.1%, while new construction sat at 98.8%. A few savvy sellers even pushed past 100%, and a couple of motivated buyers scored deals in the low 90s.
What’s Really Happening on the Ground
- Buyers have options. The slight gap between list and sale price on resale homes means you can still negotiate repairs, closing costs, or even a small price reduction without killing the deal.
- Sellers who prepare win. Homes priced accurately and presented well are moving. The ones that sat longest were either overpriced or needed updates.
- New construction is booming in the popular subdivisions. Timberwalk, Lakes of Mount Dora, and Trailside led the pack. Buyers love the warranties, energy efficiency, and ability to pick their own finishes.
- The full price spectrum is active. From entry-level resale under $300k all the way up to $1.5M+ historic and luxury properties—Mount Dora continues to attract every kind of buyer.
Bottom Line for You It’s a balanced market with a gentle lean toward buyers on the resale side and steady demand for new homes. Neither buyers nor sellers have all the cards, but knowledge is your biggest advantage right now.
