Market · Clermont, Lake County, Florida
Off-market investment properties in Clermont.
Clermont is the premium end of our footprint: the fastest-growing city we serve (+22.8% since 2020, U.S. Census), the highest rents ($2,400 median asking for a 3-bedroom), and a $546M expressway opening a direct route to Orlando's beltway in 2027. Premium markets punish sloppy underwriting — HOA rules, new-construction competition, and 10.3% county vacancy are real — so every Clermont deal card carries restriction flags alongside the ARV comps, repair estimate, and projected returns. Top Investment Properties (TIP), operated by 24propertymanagement.com Inc, a licensed Florida real estate brokerage, sells off-market properties to cash investors across Central Florida.
The market, in numbers
What is the Clermont investor market doing in 2026?
Clermont's growth is the fastest of any city we serve: 22.8% between 2020 and mid-2025 (U.S. Census), driven by Orlando and theme-park commuters, healthcare around Orlando Health South Lake Hospital, and the construction industry building the town itself — education and health account for 26% of Lake County's job base, retail 19%, construction 15% (Lake County, 2025). The market has held its value through the statewide correction: the median sale price is $453,229, up 2.1% year over year, with homes moving in 40 days (Redfin, May 2026).
The infrastructure story has dates attached. The SR 516 Lake–Orange Expressway — 4.4 miles, roughly $546M — connects US 27 straight to the SR 429 beltway, with a partial opening targeted for spring 2027 and completion in early 2029 (CFX). South of the city, the master-planned Wellness Way corridor started Phase 1A road construction in mid-2026. When a commute-shortening road opens into a supply-constrained corridor, the path-of-growth parcels reprice first — that is the hold thesis here.
Now the discipline. Lake County rental vacancy ran 10.3% in 2024, well above Florida's 7.6% (ACS) — new supply competes hard for tenants, so a $2,400 median 3-bedroom asking rent (Rentometer, August 2026) only pencils with a realistic lease-up budget and possibly concessions. And more than anywhere else we source, the deal lives or dies on documents: HOA leasing caps, age restrictions, and deed rules govern much of the investable stock, and the city runs a formal registration program for short-term rentals. Our Clermont deal cards flag restrictions up front, because a great price on a house you cannot rent is not a deal.

Where we source
Active across Clermont's key areas.
Our Clermont inventory is off-market and cash-only — distressed, probate, wholesale, and tired-landlord situations delivered to our investor list before any public listing. The areas below are where the growth, the conversions, and the value pockets concentrate.
- 34711 — Established Clermont
Typical value $431,829 (Zillow, Jun 2026). Mixed-age stock from older in-town homes to newer subdivisions — family, healthcare, and commuter tenants, with sharp HOA and school-zone premiums.
- 34714 — Four Corners / theme-park side
Typical value $411,958 (Zillow, Jun 2026). Tourism-workforce demand and vacation-to-long-term conversion stock. Inspect pools and furnishings; verify HOA rental limits and insurance carefully.
- 34715 — North Clermont / Minneola
Typical value $462,624 (Zillow, Jun 2026). Newer family housing in the growth corridor — lower near-term maintenance, but compressed yields and direct new-construction competition.
- Kings Ridge
Median sale $327,340, down 6.1%, moving in 51 days vs 88 a year ago (Redfin, May 2026). Age-restricted stock well below the city median — check tenant eligibility, HOA approval, and leasing caps first.

Clermont investor FAQ
Straight answers, sourced numbers.
What does an investment property cost in Clermont right now?
The Clermont median sale price is $453,229, up 2.1% year over year (Redfin, three-month median through May 2026) — the highest price point in our footprint. Below the headline there is a real spread: Kings Ridge, the age-restricted community, runs a $327,340 median (Redfin, May 2026), and Four Corners stock in ZIP 34714 carries a typical value around $412K (Zillow, June 2026). Our off-market deals price below these retail benchmarks because sellers trade price for speed and certainty.
Is Clermont growing fast enough to justify the price?
It is the fastest-growing city we serve: 22.8% population growth from 2020 to mid-2025 (U.S. Census), well ahead of Orlando, Lakeland, or Ocala. The infrastructure is chasing that growth — the $546M SR 516 Lake–Orange Expressway partially opens in spring 2027 and cuts a direct route to the SR 429 beltway, and the master-planned Wellness Way corridor south of the city has its first phase of road work underway (City of Clermont, June 2026). Growth this fast is also why underwriting discipline matters: new construction competes with your resale and your rental.
What do Clermont houses actually rent for?
The highest rents in our footprint: $2,125 median asking for a 2-bedroom, $2,400 for a 3-bedroom (typical range $2,195–$2,500), and $2,800 for 4+ bedrooms (Rentometer, August 2026). The honest counterweight: Lake County rental vacancy was 10.3% in 2024, well above the 7.6% state average (ACS) — more competing supply than anywhere else we serve. Rentals pencil here on the strength of the rent level, but only underwritten with a realistic lease-up period and possible concessions.
What should investors know about vacation rentals and HOAs in Clermont?
Two Clermont-specific rules. First, the city has an explicit vacation-rental program: each non-owner-occupied whole-house rental used short-term needs its own application, DBPR and Department of Revenue registrations, a life-safety inspection, and a $375 city fee, renewed by September 30. Second — and more important for most buyers — much of Clermont’s investable stock sits in planned communities, so HOA leasing caps, age restrictions (Kings Ridge), and deed restrictions can make or break an underwrite. Florida law preempts most city-level landlord-tenant regulation, but it does not override HOA and deed restrictions. We flag both on every Clermont deal card.
