- Airport access: Orlando International Airport is just minutes away, a strong selling point for frequent travelers and second-home buyers.
- Town Center: Lake Nona Town Center has restaurants, shops and entertainment close to home.

How Different Lake Nona Homes Sell
- Newer homes in established communities: Many Lake Nona homes are only a few years old, so buyers compare them directly with new construction. Finished landscaping, window treatments and upgrades are what set a resale home apart.
- Homes near new construction: Builders are still active in the area. Pricing has to account for builder incentives buyers are being offered down the street.
- Lakefront and lake-view homes: Water views and lot position drive the price. Photos and video should show the view first.
- Larger and higher-end homes: These need wider marketing, high-quality media, careful pricing and a showing process that protects your privacy, with showings only for verified, financially qualified buyers.
- Homes owned from out of state: Many Lake Nona homes are owned by people who live elsewhere. Patty handles the sale on the ground while you stay informed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling in Lake Nona
Is Lake Nona its own city?
No. Lake Nona is a large planned community within the city of Orlando, in Orange County. That’s why many websites list Lake Nona homes under “Orlando.” Patty prices your home against nearby Lake Nona sales, not citywide Orlando averages.
How much is my Lake Nona home worth?
It depends on recent sales of similar homes in your community, plus your home’s condition, upgrades, lot and view. Online estimates are a starting point but often miss community differences and builder competition. Patty can prepare a free market analysis for your home. Get your home value.
How do I compete with new construction in Lake Nona?
Price with the builders’ incentives in mind, then show what a new build doesn’t have yet: mature landscaping, window treatments, upgrades and a move-in date that doesn’t depend on construction. Good photos and a clean, repaired home make that difference easy for buyers to see.
Can I sell my Lake Nona home if I live out of state or overseas?
Yes. Patty regularly works with sellers who aren’t local. She manages showings, repairs and vendors on site, and most paperwork can be signed electronically. Your closing agent can explain remote closing options.
What does it cost to sell a home in Lake Nona?
Common costs include the real estate commission, which is always negotiable, plus title and closing fees, Florida’s documentary stamp tax on the deed, and any repairs or credits you agree to. Some Lake Nona communities also have HOA or CDD items to settle at closing. Patty will give you an estimated net sheet before you list.
