What’s Really Going On in Lake Mary’s Housing Market This July 2025? (And Should You Freak Out?)
If you’ve been scrolling Zillow during your lunch break while sipping overpriced iced coffee, wondering, “Is now a good time to buy or sell in Lake Mary?”—we’ve got answers (and a few laughs) for you.
📈 Market at a Glance – July 2025
Inventory is up 38% year-over-year. Yup, there are finally options—no more offering your kidney and your favorite child just to compete.
Median sale price is hovering at $489,000, steady from last month but up modestly from this time in 2024.
Average days on market jumped from 21 to 32 days—translation: buyers are breathing again, sellers need to bring their A-game.
👀 Buyers, Here’s Your Playbook:
You’ve got leverage. We’re seeing more price reductions than summer rainstorms (okay, almost).
Don’t lowball too hard—but do ask for repairs, rate buy-downs, or that jazzy washer/dryer combo.
Act fast if it’s move-in ready: homes that are staged and priced right still go faster than free Disney passes.
🧠 Sellers, Time for Some Tough Love:
Price matters more than ever. This isn’t 2021—buyers have options, and they’re picky.
Staging still sells: especially your screened porch, shaded lanai, and that “I-can-work-from-here” flex space.
Insurance rates are still rising, so keep receipts and show off those updates—new roof? Flaunt it.
🏘️ Neighborhood Spotlight: Heathrow, Timacuan & Griffin Park
Heathrow: Remains the go-to for gated luxury with strong resale and top schools.
Timacuan: Golf-side charm and homes with serious curb appeal under $600K? Still hot.
Griffin Park: Newer builds, walkable to everything, and Insta-worthy patios? Yes please.
🧮 Final Word: Should You Buy or Sell in Lake Mary Right Now?
Short answer: Yes—but smartly.
Longer answer: Lake Mary’s market is stabilizing. It’s neither a red-hot seller’s dream nor a buyer’s free-for-all. It’s a strategic zone—where the right prep and pricing wins. Whether you're upsizing, downsizing, or rightsizing, July 2025 offers opportunities that didn’t exist a year ago.
