Clermont Real Estate

Your local REALTOR® serving Clermont and surrounding communities.

Market Overview

Known for its rolling hills, proximity to major theme parks, and family-friendly communities like Olympia and Waterbrooke. A rapidly growing market popular with families and professionals seeking newer construction and suburban living with easy access to Orlando. Clermont's scenic lakeside setting and expanding retail corridors make it one of the most desirable suburbs in Central Florida.

Clermont is also where I live. I serve the community I live in, and that shows up in the small things: I know how the established neighborhoods near downtown differ from the newer developments along US-27, which streets flood in an afternoon storm, and what the drive really feels like at 7:30 in the morning. That is local knowledge you cannot get from a listing feed.

Whatever side of the transaction you are on, I work all three here. Buyers get walked from pre-approval to closing, plus free access to my credit tracker, buying power calculator and mortgage estimator. Sellers get pricing built on current comparable sales, professional marketing, and exposure through the eXp Realty platform. Investors get the flip analyzer to run a specific property before making an offer.

Neighboring communities on the same corridor that I work every day: Minneola, Groveland, Montverde.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Clermont consistently ranks as one of the best suburbs in Central Florida. I've helped families relocate here for the top-rated Lake County schools, the rolling hills that are rare in Florida, and the roughly 30-minute drive to downtown Orlando. You get newer construction, safe neighborhoods, and the kind of Florida weather that keeps families outside year round.

The August 2026 median sale price for a single-family home in Clermont was $442,490, down 11.1 percent from $497,500 a year earlier. Year to date the median is $465,000, down 2.1 percent. Townhomes and condos have a median of $353,000, down 7.1 percent, with 4.7 months of supply. If a lender told you no on last year's prices, this is the year to run the numbers again.

My top picks depend on your goals. Olympia and Waterbrooke offer resort-style amenities and rank among the most sought-after master-planned communities. Legends attracts golfers with its Jack Nicklaus-designed course. Hartwood Landing and Kings Ridge are excellent for families, and Kings Ridge caters specifically to the 55-plus market with over 20 amenities.

Lake County property taxes in Clermont run roughly 1.0 to 1.2 percent of assessed value annually, which is competitive for Central Florida. HOA fees vary widely: expect $75 to $150 per month in standard subdivisions like Hartwood Landing, $200 to $350 in amenity-rich communities like Olympia, and $400-plus in gated golf communities like Legends. Always confirm CDD fees separately.

The drive from Clermont to downtown Orlando is about 22 miles and takes 30 to 40 minutes via the FL-429 toll road or US-27. Walt Disney World is roughly 20 miles south, a 25 to 30-minute drive via US-27 and I-4. Rush-hour traffic can add 15 minutes each way, so I always recommend timing a test drive before buying.

Yes, if you're planning to stay 3-plus years. Clermont had 615 single-family homes for sale in August 2026, up 6.4 percent year over year, with 4.4 months of supply and homes taking 57 days to sell, improved from 64 days. Sellers received 98.4 percent of list price, up from 97.1 percent, so this is a market where the right offer wins on terms more than on price. Rates in the mid 6 percent range still push payments up, so I focus on structuring offers that ask the seller to help with closing costs where the situation supports it.
