The Bottom Line

Kensington Estates has moved from a seller’s market in August to balanced, with about 4.6 months of inventory — five homes for sale, none under contract, and all five have cut price. Recent buyers paid a median of 97% of original ask, and the overpriced listings are leverage — over the long run, homes that started too high sat a median of 86 days and still sold about $40,000 under their first price. On value per square foot, resale value is about 2.3% below its 2025 peak (still up about 37% since 2021). We’ll judge every home on price per square foot before we write.

What’s Really Happening Here

Kensington Estates is one of the large-lot “estate” villages on the original Citrus Hills side, prized for what it doesn’t have — no mandatory HOA, no deed restrictions, and full one-acre wooded homesites on well & septic, with club membership optional rather than deeded. The typical existing home sold near $402,500.00 over the past year; 5 homes are for sale at $314,900 to $395,000, none under contract, and all 5 have already cut price.

New construction is minimal here (about 3% of sales), so this is essentially an all-resale market — what matters is how far values have moved and where the overpriced listings sit.

Median resale value per square foot by calendar year (2026 is year-to-date through September). We chart per-foot value, not median price — because median price swings on which sizes sell, while price-per-foot shows the real trend, and where your negotiating room sits.

The Number Nobody Shows You

0 of 7
listings in the current cycle left the market unsold — this year, the ones that ended all sold
1 in 8.4
resale listings since 2021 left unsold (12 of 101), sitting a median of 80 days first

Two ways that helps you. First, a seller whose home has sat for months is a negotiation waiting to happen. Second, the expired and withdrawn homes of past years are inventory the portals no longer show — the owners still want to sell, and we can approach them directly for you.

Long-run perspective: resale value per square foot is up about 37% since 2021. You’re buying into a proven community with the negotiating room this market gives you.
