Seminole County, Florida

It's one of Central Florida's most established suburban counties, balancing lake-country calm with easy access to Orlando about 30 minutes south. You can choose the busier hubs of Altamonte Springs and Casselberry or the quieter edges near Longwood and Geneva. The distinct communities mean you can match the lifestyle to your commute and budget.

The median list price is $399,999, which lands squarely in Central Florida's mid-range, and prices span from $75,000 to $9,000,000. Average price per square foot is around $239 on a median home size of 1,699 square feet. If you're budget-focused, you can browse by price to find the condos and townhomes at the entry end.

Expect a median around $399,999, with single-family homes forming the bulk of inventory and condos and townhomes offering lower entry points. The county also has 111 listings above $1 million and 100 waterfront homes for buyers at the higher end. Segment your search by feature — pool, gated, or water — to narrow the range quickly.

There are 1,737 active listings and homes are selling in a median of 31 days, which points to a steady, moving market rather than a stalled one. New buyers have real choice, including 132 new construction listings and 375 homes with a pool. Checking open houses this week is a smart way to gauge how specific neighborhoods are pricing.

The median HOA runs about $225 per month, though that varies widely — many single-family neighborhoods have none while gated communities carry higher dues. Median property tax is roughly $3,285 per year, and median rent sits near $2,100 per month for comparison. Always confirm the specific HOA and tax figures on any listing before you write an offer.
