Prices in the Windermere area are holding. But buyers are slower to pull the trigger than they used to be.

For the three months ending August 31, 2026, the Real Estate Data Aggregator shows a median sale price of $885,000 in ZIP 34786. Median days on market came in at 51. That number tells me the most: homes are still selling, but the right price from day one matters more than it did.

One thing worth knowing is that ZIP 34786 covers a lot of ground. Some homes in it are inside the Town of Windermere. Many are in unincorporated Orange County. Your street can look pretty different from what the ZIP shows overall.

If you want your area's specific numbers, comment "value" and I'll send them over.

66% HIGHER!!

Since joining The Agency, the value of my highest-priced sale is 66% higher than my highest listing sale of 2025.

For me, that’s not just a statistic.

It’s a sign of where my business is heading.

I joined The Agency because I wanted to align my 26 years of real estate experience with a brand that operates naturally in the luxury space, both locally and globally.

Less than a year later, I’m seeing that decision reflected in the opportunities coming my way.

More luxury homes.
Higher-level opportunities.
A stronger platform for my clients.
And some very exciting properties still to come.

There’s plenty more ahead.

If you’re thinking about selling a luxury home in Windermere or the surrounding areas, let’s talk.

And if you’re an agent thinking about what the right brand could do for your business, my door is always open.

Did you know Windermere, FL was named by an Englishman?

In the late 1880s, Dr. Stanley Scott settled on the shores of the Butler Chain of Lakes. The rolling land and clear water reminded him of England’s Lake District, so he named his home “Windermere.” The Town of Windermere was officially incorporated on February 2, 1925, and celebrated its 100th birthday in 2025.

A few more local facts:
🏛️ Town Hall on Main Street was built in 1922 as the Woman’s Club clubhouse and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
🌊 In 1985, the Butler Chain became the first lake system in Florida named an Outstanding Florida Water.
🌳 Many downtown streets are still sand roads under live oaks, by residents’ choice.

As a Windermere Realtor who started my career in the UK, I love this town’s English roots. Read the full history of Windermere on my blog, and reach out anytime you’d like to talk about buying or selling here.

Every week I go through the homes for sale in Windermere and find the one that's earning the most buyer attention for a home its age. This week's pick stood out pretty clearly.

This home collected 122 saves and 1,126 views on Zillow. The homes we checked averaged 56 saves, so this one pulled in 116% more saves than that average. Saves and views measure attention, not tours or offers, but attention is usually the first thing that moves.

I'm holding back the address and price on purpose. Comment DEAL below and I'll send them straight to you. What's your guess: what do you think makes a home in Windermere stand out right now?

Is the Windermere housing market going to crash? 🏡
The median sale price in Windermere (34786) dropped 15% this summer, but that's not the full story.

I pulled every MLS sale from July to September 2025 and 2026:
✅ 168 homes sold, nearly matching last year's 176
✅ Price per square foot rose from $293 to $298
✅ Homes went under contract faster (32 days vs. 38)
✅ Sellers got 96.8% of asking price, the same as last year

The median fell because more smaller homes sold and fewer $3M+ estates did, not because values dropped. Windermere is cooling, not crashing.
Read the full breakdown, including what this means for buyers and sellers, on my blog. 👇

Thank you. I know the first thing many sellers want to know right now is whether buyers have backed off because rates are above 7%. That is a fair concern.

Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.28% on October 1, 2026. But in 34786, the Real Estate Data Aggregator still counted 215 pending sales for the three months ending July 31, 2026. It also found that 33.5% of homes went under contract within two weeks. So while higher rates are real, buyers are still writing offers here.

Not every home sold fast, and not every part of 34786 reads the same. If you want, comment with your neighborhood name and I can tell you whether the ZIP-wide numbers are a good fit for your area.

One home in Windermere stood out this week, and the numbers are pretty clear about it.

I looked at 101 homes for sale and tracked saves and views on Zillow for the homes we checked. This week's Deal of the Week pulled in 201 saves and 1,427 views. The homes we checked averaged 49 saves. This one came in 307% above that. Saves and views measure attention, not offers or tours, but that kind of gap is worth paying attention to.

I keep the address off the post on purpose. Comment DEAL below and I'll send you the address and the full numbers.

Would you want to know what's driving buyers to look at this one?
