Clermont's typical home value rose $64 to $427,392 in September, its first monthly gain since May 2024, Zillow says. Still down 1.6% in a year, and rents fell.
The typical Clermont home gained value in September for the first time in more than two years.
Zillow’s Home Value Index put it at $427,392, up $64 from August. That is a rounding error in dollar terms. But it ends a run of 27 straight monthly declines that began after the city’s peak of $455,866 in May 2024. The figures come from the Zillow Home Value Index city series, published by Zillow Research.
Over a full year, values are still lower. The typical home is worth $7,129 (1.6%) less than in September 2025, when the index stood at $434,521. It sits $28,474, or 6.2%, below the 2024 peak.
What it means for you
- Buyers: prices have stopped sliding, at least for now. The typical home costs about $7,100 less than a year ago, a modest cushion, not a bargain.
- Sellers: values are still 19.4% above September 2021 ($357,858) and about 79% above September 2016 ($238,300). Most owners who bought before 2021 remain well ahead.
- Renters: asking rents fell in Clermont but rose sharply in Minneola (see below).
- Your tax bill is based on the Lake County Property Appraiser’s value, not Zillow’s. Our property tax guide explains how it is set.
One month does not make a turn. Zillow’s index is a smoothed, seasonally adjusted estimate for the middle third of homes, whether or not they sold. It is not a median sale price. Zillow also revises earlier months: it now puts Clermont’s August value at $427,328, not the $428,604 it first published. A later revision could erase September’s small gain.

Clermont’s 1.6% yearly fall is milder than the Lake County figure and about half the fall in Groveland and Mascotte to the west. The Orange County cities to the east held up better.
