The Data on Windermere Says the Opposite of the Slowdown Story

In the twelve weeks ending August 23, 2026, median sale price, homes sold and the sale-to-list ratio in Windermere all rose from where they stood a year earlier.

If you've been reading the general real estate coverage this summer, you've absorbed the same message everywhere: the market is slowing down. Fewer sales. Softer prices. Sellers losing their footing at the negotiating table.

Here's what the data actually says about Windermere.

In the twelve weeks ending August 23, 2026, homes here didn't behave like a market losing steam. On every measure that matters, they moved the other way.

Start with price. The median sale price in Windermere reached $879,900 this period. A year earlier it was $850,000, so this is a gain of about 4%. That is not the pattern of a market where sellers are cutting price to get a deal done.

Sales volume moved the same direction. Homes sold in Windermere climbed to 187 this period, up from 168 a year ago, an increase of about 11%. More closings, not fewer, in the exact window when the broader narrative assumes the opposite.

The negotiating position held too. The median sale-to-list ratio in Windermere came in at 96.9%, up about 0.3 percentage points from 96.6% a year earlier. Sellers here are collecting almost exactly what they asked for, and slightly more of it than they did twelve months ago.

Usually a report like this turns up at least one number pulling the other way. Price up but pace slower. Sales up but negotiating room widening. Not this time. In Windermere, all three measures moved together, in the same direction, against the same prior-year window. That agreement across three independent figures is itself the finding.

For context on current pace, homes in Windermere are going under contract in a median of about 69 days, with roughly 3 months of supply on the market right now. Those figures stand on their own this period; there is no year-ago comparison to set them against, so take them as a snapshot of where things sit rather than a trend.

What does this mean if you own here, or are thinking about it?

If you're selling in Windermere, this is not a market that calls for pre-emptive discounting. Buyers closed at a higher volume this period and gave up almost no ground on price relative to asking. Price to the current data, not to a slowdown that hasn't shown up in Windermere's own numbers.

If you're buying, don't walk in expecting a market that's beaten down. Sale-to-list held near full price and the pool of closed sales grew. Plan your offer around the market that's actually here.

What's worth watching next report is whether the pace of new activity keeps up with this level of closings. Windermere's sold data has moved the same direction three times in a row this period. Whether that continues, or whether one of these measures breaks from the other two, is the question the next twelve weeks will answer.

These figures come from MLS sold data for Windermere for the twelve weeks ending August 23, 2026, verified before publication.
