City Guide
Buying a Home in Clermont.
Clermont is the city of rolling hills and chain-of-lakes living, and it is also home to central Florida's busiest new-construction corridor along Wellness Way. Between the builders and the resale waterfront, Clermont has an answer for almost every buyer budget and timeline.

Why Clermont
Hills, lakes, and the busiest building corridor in Lake County.
Locals joke that Clermont is the only place in Florida with hills you can feel in your calves. The ridges over Lake Minneola and Lake Louisa give the city real elevation, real views, and evening breezes most of Central Florida never gets. The chain of lakes anchors the lifestyle: fishing, paddling, and the waterfront neighborhoods that resale buyers wait years for.
The other half of the story is the Wellness Way corridor, the dense band of new communities stretching from Clermont toward the Turnpike. Lennar's Wellness Ridge, Pulte's Parkside Trails, and David Weekley's Reflections at Olympus are all selling here, and Toll Brothers just announced a lakefront luxury community on Sumner Lake opening in 2027. School-wise, Clermont is served by the Lake County public school district, and the downtown on Montrose Street keeps the old Florida character intact.
Clermont sits about 25 minutes west of downtown Orlando with easy Turnpike and SR 50 access, which makes it a steady favorite for families who want the Orlando job market without the Orlando commute pattern.

Clermont New Construction with Kelly Wheeler
Kelly walks through what buyers should know about Clermont's new construction: the active communities along Wellness Way, the different builders and floor plans behind each one, how the HOAs work, and where pricing actually lands today. He also explains why calling him before your first builder visit matters, because registering early protects your representation and eligible buyers can keep the 25% buyer commission gift on their builder home.

Schedule a TourResale Homes
Buying resale in Clermont.
Clermont resale splits into two very different pools: the established lake neighborhoods with their premium prices and wait-list appeal, and the slightly older subdivisions behind the new construction where the same schools and commute cost noticeably less. The waterfront inventory turns fast, so the first step is knowing which pool you are shopping.
- Get pre-approved before you tour resale homes, so offers can move the day you find the right one.
- Know your flood zone and insurance picture early. Lake-area resale homes vary more than new subdivisions.
- Resale means negotiating from the inspection, not the spec sheet. Kelly runs comps and conditions analysis before you offer.
- The 25% Buyer Commission Gift applies to eligible resale purchases too, with written terms up front.

New construction or resale in Clermont?
Both work well in Clermont, and the choice is mostly about your timeline and your appetite for renovation. New construction centers on the Wellness Way corridor; resale splits between the lakefront neighborhoods and the established subdivisions behind the new builds.
- New construction: fixed pricing, a builder warranty, and your choice of finishes, in exchange for waiting out the build and paying the premium for a brand-new community location.
- Resale: established landscaping, mature trees, and lakefront addresses on the chain of lakes, in exchange for older systems and competition from other buyers.
- I give you the same representation either way, and eligible purchases qualify for the 25% buyer commission gift, new construction or resale.
