Like everywhere else in the Greater Orlando area, prices continue to fall in north suburban Winter Springs. Since more than 50% of ‘Houses with Contracts’ are properties in some stage of foreclosure, the downward pressure on sales prices continues as demonstrated by the lower Average Price per Square Foot for pending sales compared to ‘Houses Sold in Last 3 Months’.
It’s good to understand 2 things about Price per Square Foot in this context:
Months required to sell the current inventory of houses is worse in Winter Springs than in other areas in Orlando. In unincorporated East Orlando, for example, it will only take 7 months to deplete current inventory.
Houses currently on the market have BY FAR the highest Average Price per Square Foot. Simply put, this means they’re OVERPRICED for current market conditions.

Located in the northern suburb of Winter Springs, just west and north of Oviedo, Tuscawilla is often considered a distinct town. As a master-planned community containing over 4,500 homes, and home of the Tuscawilla Country Club, Tuscawilla has the feel of an exclusive enclave comprised of individual neighborhoods. Most of the homes sit on large lots of ¼ - ½ acre, and a majority of the homes offer larger square footage that attract discriminating buyers and command higher prices.
Roughly bounded by SR 434, Tuskawilla Rd, Central Florida Greeneway Toll Road and Red Bug Lake Road, to enter Tuscawilla is to cross into a peaceful threshold of peaceful greenery where streets wind around gentle curves with wide parkways and mature landscaping.
Overall, Tuscawilla’s house prices have held up during Orlando’s housing crash. On the downside, sales aren’t as brisk as they are in the neighboring suburb of Oviedo.

The following are the market sales statistics for Winter Springs, Seminole County, Florida for March 2009. Winter Springs is made up of the zip code 32708. For purposes of this analysis we are only splitting the data according to single-family homes vs, condominiums, townhomes and villas.
A couple of definitions are in order. The median sales price means that 50% of the homes sold for more and 50% of the homes sold for less during a certain period of time - in other words, it's the midpoint of sale prices. So basically what this means, is that the median sales price is showing market activity in that it's specifically indicating which price range is more active.
The average sales price, as opposed to the median sales price, is the total volume of sold properties divided by the number of properties sold.
The sales to list price ratio is just that, you're dividing the average sales price by the average list price and coming up with a percentage that tells you how much of the list price the average homes sold for.
There needs to be a disclaimer here. These stats are only as good as telling us what it being purchased and happening at a certain period in time. Also, it needs to be fully understood that not only is real estate local, but it is hyper-local. What this means is that the trends that we hear about are overall. Let's put it this way, what's happening in one neighborhood, may not be realized in the neighborhood next door.
Additionally, these are only monthly statistics and to get a better scope of what is happening, you need to look at a longer period of time. More high-end homes might be sold in one month as opposed to another. By looking at a longer period, you will get a better overall picture. It is all relative and this has to be understood when utilizing these stats.
