Median days on market
Deer Island sits in the lakes of Lake County, a quiet island community where the pace slows and water is never far. This is a place for buyers who want space, privacy, and a little distance from the crowds — while staying close enough that Downtown Orlando is about 56 minutes away and Universal Orlando roughly 57. The housing here is entirely single-family homes, with generous lots and a median size north of 2,800 square feet.
The market is small and deliberate: just four active listings right now, so choices are limited and each one matters. The median list price is $643,000, spanning from $439,000 up to a $1.395M waterfront property, and homes tend to sit for a while — the median is 85 days on market. If you're weighing options, it's worth watching for anything just reduced and you can browse by price to focus your search.
