Deal of the Week: 2,862 Sq Ft in Minneola for $485K — Lowest $/Ft in the Zip

Every week my system runs the numbers on every active listing in a Central Florida market and surfaces the one deal the averages are hiding. This week we're in Minneola — and the math found a monster.

The deal: 1305 Windy Bluff Dr, Minneola — $485,000

• 4 bedrooms · 2.5 baths · 2,862 square feet — a genuinely big house
• Established Oak Valley neighborhood, Minneola 34715 — minutes from the Turnpike interchange and the new Minneola growth corridor
• $169.46 per square foot
• 159 days on market — and that's the opportunity, not the flaw (more below)

Why the math says this is the one

I analyzed all 92 active single-family listings in the 34715 market this week. The middle of the market is running about $231 per square foot. This home is at $169 — roughly 27% below the market middle, and the lowest price-per-foot of every active listing in the zip code. Not one of the other 91 homes beats it.

Put it another way: at the market's typical $231/sf, $485,000 buys you about 2,100 square feet. This home hands you ~765 square feet more — that's three extra rooms' worth of house — for the same money. Or slice it by bedroom: $121,250 per bedroom, in a market where brand-new 5-bedroom builds nearby are asking $461–465K for 260 fewer total square feet.

About those 159 days on market

If you read my September market update, you know the stat: 6 in 10 sellers in this area cut their price before selling, and homes that sit get negotiable. A well-sized home at the lowest $/ft in the zip code that's been listed 159 days isn't a red flag — it's a seller who has almost certainly heard silence and is ready for a serious conversation. It's a 2000-built home, so go in with eyes open: this is the “space and value” play, not the “shiny and new” play — and the inspection is where I earn my keep.

Who this home is for

The family that needs real space — four bedrooms plus room to breathe — and would rather put $50K of savings into their life than into a builder's price sheet. An established street, no construction traffic, and Minneola's growth (the Turnpike interchange, the new town center corridor, Advent Health) rising around a neighborhood that got there first.
