About 0.6 months of inventory — homes are selling faster than new ones come on the market, so sellers hold the leverage (under 4 months = seller's market).
Aggregate statistics from recent Stellar MLS closed sales and live MLS inventory. A market read, not an appraisal of any home or a listing of individual sales.

Ryan's Take on Forest City
Forest City is the Seminole County address most buyers find by searching for the Lake Brantley High School zone first. The community is an unincorporated CDP in southwest Seminole — bordered by Altamonte Springs, Apopka, and Wekiwa Springs — with a median build year in the 1980s and a price range that still gets you into an A-rated district for less than comparable alternatives east of I-4.
The geographic anchors are Bear Lake on the western side (311 acres, part of the Little Wekiva watershed, with an active preservation association) and Lake Lotus Park to the east — a 150-acre Altamonte Springs nature preserve on the Little Wekiva River with boardwalks and wildlife viewing. Wekiwa Springs State Park is about 10–15 minutes north. The Seminole Wekiva Trail, on the old Orange Belt Railway corridor, runs through the area.
Downtown Orlando is roughly 20–25 minutes southeast. Maitland Center connects directly via the SR-414 interchange at Forest City Road at the county line. For buyers who want the Lake Brantley zone, a no-HOA neighborhood with mature oaks, and outdoor access built into the daily routine, Forest City offers that combination at a price point that Altamonte Springs proper has largely grown past.
