Dr. Phillips Home Prices — Current Market Snapshot

The Dr. Phillips market (32819 and 32836) is one of the most consistent performers in the Orlando metro. The median home price runs $570K–$660K depending on the measurement period, with the average sale price reaching $717K — reflecting the significant luxury tier at the top of the market.
