SANFORD FL THREE BEDROOM ON NEARLY HALF AN ACRE AT 150K

SANFORD FL HALF ACRE 3 BED WITH 346K ARV AT $346,152

SANFORD, FL 32771 - SEMINOLE COUNTY - DIRECT DEAL

3 BED / 1 BATH / 2 CAR GARAGE - 0.48 ACRES - 1950 - $160,000 - ARV $346,152

A 1950 home on nearly half an acre in the Pinehurst 1st Addition pocket of Sanford, inside a mile of two magnet schools and minutes to I-4, at $160,000.

The owner has held it since 1984, bought for $45,000, and carries no loans against it. Free and clear, which means no payoff, no short sale, no lender in the chain. Vacant at close, Flood Zone X, and thirty-six days to a December 3 closing.

ARV is $346,152 and that number is deliberately conservative. Against the 1,952 square feet tax records show, it works out to $177 a foot in a market where comparable Sanford sales are averaging $222 and a 2,111 square foot home closed at $261 a foot last month. Against the 1,432 square feet the listing shows, it works out to $242 a foot, which is still inside what smaller Sanford homes have been clearing all year.

In other words, the ARV holds at either square footage. That is unusual and it is the reason to take this one seriously.

The scope is front-loaded and honest. Roof needs replacing. HVAC needs replacing. Electrical and plumbing both reported in good condition. And it is a one bathroom house in a market where every comparable has two or more, so a second bath belongs in your scope.

THE SQUARE FOOTAGE - AND WHY THE ARV SURVIVES IT

The listing shows 1,432 square feet. Seminole County tax records show 1,952. Total area is 2,780. That is a 520 foot gap and you should settle it yourself on the walkthrough or through the Seminole County Property Appraiser.

But here is what makes this deal workable either way. At $346,152:

If the house is 1,952 sqft, your ARV is $346,152 per foot, which is below the $222 comparable average and well below the $261 a foot that 309 W 16th St cleared in September

If the house is 1,432 sqft, your ARV is $346,152 per foot, which sits inside the $245 to $285 range that smaller Sanford 3 bedroom homes closed at this year

Most deals fall apart when the square footage comes back light. This one does not. Verify it anyway, because it changes your renovation budget and your exit price even if it does not change whether the deal works.

COMP SUPPORT - LARGER SANFORD HOMES

309 W 16th St, Sanford FL 32771 - 3 Bed / 2 Bath, 2,111 sqft, built 1931, 0.35 acre - SOLD $551,000 on 09/30/2026 after 70 days on market - approximately $261 per sqft

412 Editha Cir, Sanford FL 32771 - 3 Bed / 3 Bath, 1,773 sqft, built 2015, 10,486 sqft lot - SOLD $325,000 on 05/04/2026 - approximately $183 per sqft

Comparable averages across this set: $438,000 sale price, 1,942 sqft, $222 per sqft, 0.30 acre lot, 1973 build.

COMP SUPPORT - SMALLER SANFORD HOMES

101 Country Club Drive, Sanford FL 32771 - 3 Bed / 2 Bath, 1,028 sqft - SOLD $292,000 on 06/01/2026 - approximately $284 per sqft

115 Hays Drive, Sanford FL 32771 - 3 Bed / 2 Bath, 1,038 sqft - SOLD $296,000 on 03/31/2026 - approximately $285 per sqft

1809 Chase Avenue, Sanford FL 32771 - 3 Bed / 2 Bath, 1,124 sqft - SOLD $275,000 on 06/22/2026 - approximately $245 per sqft

These three are roughly half the size of the subject by tax record and still cleared $275,000 to $296,000, averaging about $271 a foot. The published ARV of $346,152 is only modestly above the top of that range despite the subject being substantially larger and on nearly twice the land.

HOW TO READ ALL OF THIS

Two independent per-foot reads bracket this property. The larger-home set averages $222 a foot. The smaller-home set averages $271 a foot. The best size match in either set, 309 W 16th St at 2,111 square feet and built in 1931, closed at $261 a foot in seventy days on market.

The $346,152 ARV sits under all three of those on the tax-record square footage. It is not a stretch number.

Now the discipline, because you should hear both sides. Larger homes trade at lower price per foot than smaller ones, so do not scale the $271 figure up. 412 Editha Circle is 2015 construction and a 1950 wood frame is a different product. The one bathroom has to become two before this comps to anything above.

There is also a separate as-is comp set in the Goldsboro pocket west of here, nearer W 12th Street, where 4 bedroom homes sold at $120,000 and $138,800 this year after 155 and 219 days on market. That is a different submarket from Pinehurst 1st Addition, and it is why diligence on location matters as much as diligence on scope. Walk both pockets if you do not know Sanford.

CONDITION - SELLER REPORTED

Roof: Needs new roof

HVAC: Needs new HVAC

Electrical: Reported in good condition

Plumbing: Reported in good condition

Add to your own list. This is a 1950 wood frame house in Central Florida, so inspect sill, framing and any termite or moisture history closely. A house needing both roof and HVAC will not bind standard insurance until that work is done, which affects your carry and your lender. And budget the second bathroom.

THE LOT

At 0.48 acres and 20,502 square feet, this parcel is substantially larger than a typical Sanford infill lot and larger than every comp in either set, where the average lot is 0.30 acres. That is value none of the comps capture and none of it is in the $346,152.

Depending on current City of Sanford zoning and minimum lot standards, a parcel this size may support more than one use. Verify zoning, minimum lot width and area, setbacks and any split or accessory dwelling potential with the City of Sanford before underwriting any of it.

WHY SANFORD AND THIS POCKET

Sanford sits at the north end of Seminole County, roughly twenty-five minutes from downtown Orlando, with SunRail service, a walkable historic downtown on Lake Monroe, and Orlando Sanford International Airport. Seminole County schools are among the strongest draws in the metro.

This parcel sits in Pinehurst 1st Addition, within a mile of two magnet schools, with strong access to the I-4 corridor. Estimated market rent on the property is $2,837 per month.

EXIT STRATEGIES

Fix and flip: Roof, HVAC and a second bath are the core scope, against a $346,152 ARV that sits below comparable per-foot pricing

Buy and hold: Estimated rent of $2,837 per month against a $160,000 basis, in a Seminole County school zone with SunRail access

BRRRR: Acquire, complete the capital work, stabilize at market rent and refinance against a comp-supported value

Lot play: Confirm with the City of Sanford whether 0.48 acres supports a split or an accessory dwelling, and underwrite that only on the city's answer
