A custom house completed this year in the Bay Hill area of Orlando sold for $3.45 million, the highest-priced home sale publicly reported in the Orlando, Florida metro area for the week ending August 16, 2026.
Together, the week’s five highest-priced reported sales came to $13.50 million, with closings in Orlando, Winter Garden, Winter Park and Windermere. Water and golf run through the group: a Bay Hill house framed on three sides by Arnold Palmer’s championship course, a Johns Lake home with a private dock, and a pond-front residence inside the guard-gated Reserve at Lake Butler Sound. Build years run from 1974 to 2026.
