Windermere (Zip Code 34786) is one of the crown jewels of Greater Orlando due to its proximity to the parks-and-fun that all of us here at Moving to Orlando love! Not only are you in the backyard of the ‘Mouse,’ but there is an outstanding mix of single-family homes and estates throughout Windermere! Rich in taste, yet dwindling in supply – as the markets benefit towards sellers makes it an award of-sorts to get into one of these beauties. The growth and stamina of the market in Central Florida have proven over the same time last year that the increase in demand is staying strong for now – with our supply continuing to decrease over last year’s numbers. Today we go over how the market sits in Windermere, with statistics measured over the 3-month span of November, December, and January – as well as what is available now!
