The number of listings is robust, and sellers must set realistic prices to compete.
What Buyers & Investors Should Know
Luxury Still Leads
The highest demand remains in gated, lakefront, and upscale subdivisions such as Isleworth, Lake Butler Sound, Keene's Pointe, and Chaine Du Lac. These areas drive much of Windermere's prestige.
Price Sensitivity Is Rising
Even in Windermere, buyers are more cautious. Overpricing leads to longer market time or price reductions.
