ChampionsGate is one of the largest and most established vacation rental communities in the greater Orlando area. With over 1,400 homes across 10 sub-communities, two Greg Norman-designed championship golf courses, and the 16,500-square-foot Oasis Club, it draws both investors and vacation buyers from around the world.

But the market has shifted. Inventory is elevated at 360 active listings, homes are averaging 144 days on market, and prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks. At the same time, professionally managed properties are still running 76.5% occupancy and generating strong rental income.

This report breaks down the numbers so you know exactly where the market stands, what your home could sell for, and how to position it for the right buyers.

Market Snapshot

What Is Happening to ChampionsGate Prices

Over the past 12 months, 283 homes have sold in ChampionsGate. The average asking price was $479,845 and the average selling price was $458,298, reflecting a 96% list-to-sale ratio. Price per square foot is averaging $147 across all property types.

The 96% list-to-sale ratio tells you that sellers who price correctly are closing near their asking price. But with 360 active listings and only 283 closings over the past year, inventory is outpacing demand. That creates a buyer's market, and it means your listing needs to stand out on both presentation and data.

Price by Property Type

Price ranges based on current MLS listings and recent closed transactions. HOA fees are approximate and vary by sub-community. STR status must be confirmed per village.

The Village Problem: Why STR Status Changes Everything

This is the single most important thing to understand about ChampionsGate, and the detail most listing agents and market reports skip entirely. ChampionsGate is not one community. It is roughly 10 sub-communities under one gate, and short-term rental rules are different in each one.

A home in the resort district and a home in Country Club can sit 500 feet apart, look nearly identical, and have completely different buyer pools and value propositions. One is a vacation rental asset. The other is a primary residence. Pricing them the same way is a mistake.

Table reflects known STR policies as of Q4 2026. Additional sub-communities exist. STR status can change with HOA board votes. Always verify current rules with the specific sub-community HOA and Osceola County zoning before buying or listing. Sub-community median prices from MovewithMomentum.com where available.

Rental Revenue: What ChampionsGate Homes Actually Earn

ChampionsGate benefits from its location just off I-4, roughly 20-25 minutes from Disney World and 35-40 minutes from Universal's new Epic Universe. That proximity, combined with the Oasis Club amenities and Greg Norman golf, keeps guest demand strong year-round.

Across professionally managed properties, ChampionsGate is achieving an average occupancy rate of 76.5%. That is above the broader Kissimmee/Davenport market average, though the gap varies by property type, furnishing quality, and management approach.

Cost of Ownership Breakdown

Every ChampionsGate buyer runs the numbers before making an offer. If you are selling, you should know what those numbers look like so you can present your property's net income accurately. Costs vary by sub-community, so confirm exact figures for your specific village.

HOA and CDD figures approximate and subject to annual adjustment. CDD assessment from ChampionsGate CDD FY 2025. Booking taxes include 6% Florida sales tax, 1.5% discretionary surtax, and 6% Tourist Development Tax (TDT). Property tax rates vary between Polk and Osceola county portions of ChampionsGate. Verify current figures with the HOA and your county property appraiser.

A well-prepared listing includes a net income summary showing gross revenue minus all operating costs. When buyers can see the full picture on one sheet, it shortens your time on market. I prepare this for every ChampionsGate listing I take.

Current Inventory and What It Means

As of Q4 2026, ChampionsGate has 360 active listings with 283 closings over the past 12 months. That ratio puts the community firmly in buyer's market territory. For context, this means roughly 15 months of supply at the current absorption rate.

More inventory means more competition. But it also means buyers have more to compare against, which makes your listing's presentation and data even more important. The homes that sell fastest in this market share three traits:

• Priced based on closed sales, not aspirational asking prices. The 96% list-to-sale ratio shows the market rewards realistic pricing. Overpriced listings just add to the 144-day average.
• Revenue documentation included. With 84% of ChampionsGate homes being non-owner-occupied, your buyer is almost certainly an investor. Listings with 12-24 months of verified income data attract qualified buyers and justify price premiums.
• Professional photography and staging. Vacation homes sell on lifestyle. Most ChampionsGate buyers are out-of-state or international. They are making decisions from listing photos and virtual tours before booking a showing.

What This Means If You Are Selling

Here is the bottom line. ChampionsGate prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks, inventory is elevated, and homes are taking longer to sell. But rental demand remains strong at 76.5% occupancy, and the community's amenity package continues to attract guests and investors. If you are preparing to list, our guide to selling a short-term rental in ChampionsGate covers the full process from pricing to closing.

Most listing agents price vacation homes the same way they price primary residences: comps, comps, comps. That approach leaves money on the table in a community like ChampionsGate, where your home is not just a house but a revenue-generating asset.

I price my listings using both MLS comparable sales and actual rental income data because that is how vacation rental buyers evaluate properties. They are looking at cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, and occupancy trends. If your agent cannot speak that language, you are marketing to the wrong buyer pool.

What Makes ChampionsGate Attractive to Buyers

Understanding what draws buyers to ChampionsGate helps you position your listing. The community's amenity package is one of the strongest in the Orlando vacation rental market:

• The Oasis Club: 16,500-square-foot clubhouse with zero-entry pool, 500-foot lazy river, waterslides, splash pad, quiet pool with spa, private cabanas, tiki bar, fitness center, movie theater, game room, and dining.
• Greg Norman Golf: Two 18-hole championship courses, including the International Course ranked #10 in the Top 25 Public Courses in America.
• Location: 20-25 minutes to Disney World, 35-40 minutes to Epic Universe, 30 minutes to SeaWorld. Direct I-4 access at ChampionsGate Boulevard.
• On-site convenience: ChampionsGate Village with Publix, restaurants, and banking. The adjacent Omni Orlando Resort completed a $40 million expansion that added Orlando's only resort wave pool, 23,000 sqft of deck space, and a redesigned conference center. That investment raises the profile of the entire ChampionsGate address.

These amenities are selling points in your listing description and they directly impact your nightly rate. Guests booking a ChampionsGate home expect a resort experience, and that expectation is why the community commands higher ADR than standalone vacation homes in Davenport.

Over the past 12 months, 283 homes have sold in ChampionsGate. The average asking price was $479,845 and the average selling price was $458,298, reflecting a 96% list-to-sale ratio. Price per square foot is averaging $147 across all property types.

The 96% list-to-sale ratio tells you that sellers who price correctly are closing near their asking price. But with 360 active listings and only 283 closings over the past year, inventory is outpacing demand. That creates a buyer's market, and it means your listing needs to stand out on both presentation and data.

Price by Property Type

Price ranges based on current MLS listings and recent closed transactions. HOA fees are approximate and vary by sub-community. STR status must be confirmed per village.

The Village Problem: Why STR Status Changes Everything

This is the single most important thing to understand about ChampionsGate, and the detail most listing agents and market reports skip entirely. ChampionsGate is not one community. It is roughly 10 sub-communities under one gate, and short-term rental rules are different in each one.

A home in the resort district and a home in Country Club can sit 500 feet apart, look nearly identical, and have completely different buyer pools and value propositions. One is a vacation rental asset. The other is a primary residence. Pricing them the same way is a mistake.

Table reflects known STR policies as of Q4 2026. Additional sub-communities exist. STR status can change with HOA board votes. Always verify current rules with the specific sub-community HOA and Osceola County zoning before buying or listing. Sub-community median prices from MovewithMomentum.com where available.

Rental Revenue: What ChampionsGate Homes Actually Earn

ChampionsGate benefits from its location just off I-4, roughly 20-25 minutes from Disney World and 35-40 minutes from Universal's new Epic Universe. That proximity, combined with the Oasis Club amenities and Greg Norman golf, keeps guest demand strong year-round.

Across professionally managed properties, ChampionsGate is achieving an average occupancy rate of 76.5%. That is above the broader Kissimmee/Davenport market average, though the gap varies by property type, furnishing quality, and management approach.

Cost of Ownership Breakdown

Every ChampionsGate buyer runs the numbers before making an offer. If you are selling, you should know what those numbers look like so you can present your property's net income accurately. Costs vary by sub-community, so confirm exact figures for your specific village.

HOA and CDD figures approximate and subject to annual adjustment. CDD assessment from ChampionsGate CDD FY 2025. Booking taxes include 6% Florida sales tax, 1.5% discretionary surtax, and 6% Tourist Development Tax (TDT). Property tax rates vary between Polk and Osceola county portions of ChampionsGate. Verify current figures with the HOA and your county property appraiser.

A well-prepared listing includes a net income summary showing gross revenue minus all operating costs. When buyers can see the full picture on one sheet, it shortens your time on market. I prepare this for every ChampionsGate listing I take.

Current Inventory and What It Means

As of Q4 2026, ChampionsGate has 360 active listings with 283 closings over the past 12 months. That ratio puts the community firmly in buyer's market territory. For context, this means roughly 15 months of supply at the current absorption rate.

More inventory means more competition. But it also means buyers have more to compare against, which makes your listing's presentation and data even more important. The homes that sell fastest in this market share three traits:

• Priced based on closed sales, not aspirational asking prices. The 96% list-to-sale ratio shows the market rewards realistic pricing. Overpriced listings just add to the 144-day average.
• Revenue documentation included. With 84% of ChampionsGate homes being non-owner-occupied, your buyer is almost certainly an investor. Listings with 12-24 months of verified income data attract qualified buyers and justify price premiums.
• Professional photography and staging. Vacation homes sell on lifestyle. Most ChampionsGate buyers are out-of-state or international. They are making decisions from listing photos and virtual tours before booking a showing.

What This Means If You Are Selling

Here is the bottom line. ChampionsGate prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks, inventory is elevated, and homes are taking longer to sell. But rental demand remains strong at 76.5% occupancy, and the community's amenity package continues to attract guests and investors. If you are preparing to list, our guide to selling a short-term rental in ChampionsGate covers the full process from pricing to closing.

Most listing agents price vacation homes the same way they price primary residences: comps, comps, comps. That approach leaves money on the table in a community like ChampionsGate, where your home is not just a house but a revenue-generating asset.

I price my listings using both MLS comparable sales and actual rental income data because that is how vacation rental buyers evaluate properties. They are looking at cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, and occupancy trends. If your agent cannot speak that language, you are marketing to the wrong buyer pool.

What Makes ChampionsGate Attractive to Buyers

Understanding what draws buyers to ChampionsGate helps you position your listing. The community's amenity package is one of the strongest in the Orlando vacation rental market:

• The Oasis Club: 16,500-square-foot clubhouse with zero-entry pool, 500-foot lazy river, waterslides, splash pad, quiet pool with spa, private cabanas, tiki bar, fitness center, movie theater, game room, and dining.
• Greg Norman Golf: Two 18-hole championship courses, including the International Course ranked #10 in the Top 25 Public Courses in America.
• Location: 20-25 minutes to Disney World, 35-40 minutes to Epic Universe, 30 minutes to SeaWorld. Direct I-4 access at ChampionsGate Boulevard.
• On-site convenience: ChampionsGate Village with Publix, restaurants, and banking. The adjacent Omni Orlando Resort completed a $40 million expansion that added Orlando's only resort wave pool, 23,000 sqft of deck space, and a redesigned conference center. That investment raises the profile of the entire ChampionsGate address.

These amenities are selling points in your listing description and they directly impact your nightly rate. Guests booking a ChampionsGate home expect a resort experience, and that expectation is why the community commands higher ADR than standalone vacation homes in Davenport. For a detailed breakdown of how ChampionsGate stacks up against similar communities, see our ChampionsGate vs. Reunion Resort comparison.

This is the single most important thing to understand about ChampionsGate, and the detail most listing agents and market reports skip entirely. ChampionsGate is not one community. It is roughly 10 sub-communities under one gate, and short-term rental rules are different in each one.

A home in the resort district and a home in Country Club can sit 500 feet apart, look nearly identical, and have completely different buyer pools and value propositions. One is a vacation rental asset. The other is a primary residence. Pricing them the same way is a mistake.

Table reflects known STR policies as of Q4 2026. Additional sub-communities exist. STR status can change with HOA board votes. Always verify current rules with the specific sub-community HOA and Osceola County zoning before buying or listing. Sub-community median prices from MovewithMomentum.com where available.

Rental Revenue: What ChampionsGate Homes Actually Earn

ChampionsGate benefits from its location just off I-4, roughly 20-25 minutes from Disney World and 35-40 minutes from Universal's new Epic Universe. That proximity, combined with the Oasis Club amenities and Greg Norman golf, keeps guest demand strong year-round.

Across professionally managed properties, ChampionsGate is achieving an average occupancy rate of 76.5%. That is above the broader Kissimmee/Davenport market average, though the gap varies by property type, furnishing quality, and management approach.

Cost of Ownership Breakdown

Every ChampionsGate buyer runs the numbers before making an offer. If you are selling, you should know what those numbers look like so you can present your property's net income accurately. Costs vary by sub-community, so confirm exact figures for your specific village.

HOA and CDD figures approximate and subject to annual adjustment. CDD assessment from ChampionsGate CDD FY 2025. Booking taxes include 6% Florida sales tax, 1.5% discretionary surtax, and 6% Tourist Development Tax (TDT). Property tax rates vary between Polk and Osceola county portions of ChampionsGate. Verify current figures with the HOA and your county property appraiser.

A well-prepared listing includes a net income summary showing gross revenue minus all operating costs. When buyers can see the full picture on one sheet, it shortens your time on market. I prepare this for every ChampionsGate listing I take.

Current Inventory and What It Means

As of Q4 2026, ChampionsGate has 360 active listings with 283 closings over the past 12 months. That ratio puts the community firmly in buyer's market territory. For context, this means roughly 15 months of supply at the current absorption rate.

More inventory means more competition. But it also means buyers have more to compare against, which makes your listing's presentation and data even more important. The homes that sell fastest in this market share three traits:

• Priced based on closed sales, not aspirational asking prices. The 96% list-to-sale ratio shows the market rewards realistic pricing. Overpriced listings just add to the 144-day average.
• Revenue documentation included. With 84% of ChampionsGate homes being non-owner-occupied, your buyer is almost certainly an investor. Listings with 12-24 months of verified income data attract qualified buyers and justify price premiums.
• Professional photography and staging. Vacation homes sell on lifestyle. Most ChampionsGate buyers are out-of-state or international. They are making decisions from listing photos and virtual tours before booking a showing.

What This Means If You Are Selling

Here is the bottom line. ChampionsGate prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks, inventory is elevated, and homes are taking longer to sell. But rental demand remains strong at 76.5% occupancy, and the community's amenity package continues to attract guests and investors. If you are preparing to list, our guide to selling a short-term rental in ChampionsGate covers the full process from pricing to closing.

Most listing agents price vacation homes the same way they price primary residences: comps, comps, comps. That approach leaves money on the table in a community like ChampionsGate, where your home is not just a house but a revenue-generating asset.

I price my listings using both MLS comparable sales and actual rental income data because that is how vacation rental buyers evaluate properties. They are looking at cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, and occupancy trends. If your agent cannot speak that language, you are marketing to the wrong buyer pool.

What Makes ChampionsGate Attractive to Buyers

Understanding what draws buyers to ChampionsGate helps you position your listing. The community's amenity package is one of the strongest in the Orlando vacation rental market:

• The Oasis Club: 16,500-square-foot clubhouse with zero-entry pool, 500-foot lazy river, waterslides, splash pad, quiet pool with spa, private cabanas, tiki bar, fitness center, movie theater, game room, and dining.
• Greg Norman Golf: Two 18-hole championship courses, including the International Course ranked #10 in the Top 25 Public Courses in America.
• Location: 20-25 minutes to Disney World, 35-40 minutes to Epic Universe, 30 minutes to SeaWorld. Direct I-4 access at ChampionsGate Boulevard.
• On-site convenience: ChampionsGate Village with Publix, restaurants, and banking. The adjacent Omni Orlando Resort completed a $40 million expansion that added Orlando's only resort wave pool, 23,000 sqft of deck space, and a redesigned conference center. That investment raises the profile of the entire ChampionsGate address.

These amenities are selling points in your listing description and they directly impact your nightly rate. Guests booking a ChampionsGate home expect a resort experience, and that expectation is why the community commands higher ADR than standalone vacation homes in Davenport. For a detailed breakdown of how ChampionsGate stacks up against similar communities, see our ChampionsGate vs. Reunion Resort comparison.

Over the past 12 months, 283 homes have sold in ChampionsGate. The average asking price was $479,845 and the average selling price was $458,298, reflecting a 96% list-to-sale ratio. Price per square foot is averaging $147 across all property types.

But with 360 active listings and only 283 closings over the past year, inventory is outpacing demand. That creates a buyer's market, and it means your listing needs to stand out on both presentation and data.

ChampionsGate benefits from its location just off I-4, roughly 20-25 minutes from Disney World and 35-40 minutes from Universal's new Epic Universe. That proximity, combined with the Oasis Club amenities and Greg Norman golf, keeps guest demand strong year-round.

Across professionally managed properties, ChampionsGate is achieving an average occupancy rate of 76.5%. That is above the broader Kissimmee/Davenport market average, though the gap varies by property type, furnishing quality, and management approach.

Cost of Ownership Breakdown

Every ChampionsGate buyer runs the numbers before making an offer. If you are selling, you should know what those numbers look like so you can present your property's net income accurately. Costs vary by sub-community, so confirm exact figures for your specific village.

HOA and CDD figures approximate and subject to annual adjustment. CDD assessment from ChampionsGate CDD FY 2025. Booking taxes include 6% Florida sales tax, 1.5% discretionary surtax, and 6% Tourist Development Tax (TDT). Property tax rates vary between Polk and Osceola county portions of ChampionsGate. Verify current figures with the HOA and your county property appraiser.

A well-prepared listing includes a net income summary showing gross revenue minus all operating costs. When buyers can see the full picture on one sheet, it shortens your time on market. I prepare this for every ChampionsGate listing I take.

Current Inventory and What It Means

As of Q4 2026, ChampionsGate has 360 active listings with 283 closings over the past 12 months. That ratio puts the community firmly in buyer's market territory. For context, this means roughly 15 months of supply at the current absorption rate.

More inventory means more competition. But it also means buyers have more to compare against, which makes your listing's presentation and data even more important. The homes that sell fastest in this market share three traits:

• Priced based on closed sales, not aspirational asking prices. The 96% list-to-sale ratio shows the market rewards realistic pricing. Overpriced listings just add to the 144-day average.
• Revenue documentation included. With 84% of ChampionsGate homes being non-owner-occupied, your buyer is almost certainly an investor. Listings with 12-24 months of verified income data attract qualified buyers and justify price premiums.
• Professional photography and staging. Vacation homes sell on lifestyle. Most ChampionsGate buyers are out-of-state or international. They are making decisions from listing photos and virtual tours before booking a showing.

What This Means If You Are Selling

Here is the bottom line. ChampionsGate prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks, inventory is elevated, and homes are taking longer to sell. But rental demand remains strong at 76.5% occupancy, and the community's amenity package continues to attract guests and investors. If you are preparing to list, our guide to selling a short-term rental in ChampionsGate covers the full process from pricing to closing.

Most listing agents price vacation homes the same way they price primary residences: comps, comps, comps. That approach leaves money on the table in a community like ChampionsGate, where your home is not just a house but a revenue-generating asset.

I price my listings using both MLS comparable sales and actual rental income data because that is how vacation rental buyers evaluate properties. They are looking at cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, and occupancy trends. If your agent cannot speak that language, you are marketing to the wrong buyer pool.

What Makes ChampionsGate Attractive to Buyers

Understanding what draws buyers to ChampionsGate helps you position your listing. The community's amenity package is one of the strongest in the Orlando vacation rental market:

• The Oasis Club: 16,500-square-foot clubhouse with zero-entry pool, 500-foot lazy river, waterslides, splash pad, quiet pool with spa, private cabanas, tiki bar, fitness center, movie theater, game room, and dining.
• Greg Norman Golf: Two 18-hole championship courses, including the International Course ranked #10 in the Top 25 Public Courses in America.
• Location: 20-25 minutes to Disney World, 35-40 minutes to Epic Universe, 30 minutes to SeaWorld. Direct I-4 access at ChampionsGate Boulevard.
• On-site convenience: ChampionsGate Village with Publix, restaurants, and banking. The adjacent Omni Orlando Resort completed a $40 million expansion that added Orlando's only resort wave pool, 23,000 sqft of deck space, and a redesigned conference center. That investment raises the profile of the entire ChampionsGate address.

These amenities are selling points in your listing description and they directly impact your nightly rate. Guests booking a ChampionsGate home expect a resort experience, and that expectation is why the community commands higher ADR than standalone vacation homes in Davenport. For a detailed breakdown of how ChampionsGate stacks up against similar communities, see our ChampionsGate vs. Reunion Resort comparison.

Why should I list my ChampionsGate home with Mike Chen?

Mike Chen is a licensed realtor who also manages 100+ vacation rental units through FunStay Florida. He prices listings using both MLS comparable sales and actual rental income data, markets to qualified STR investor-buyers, and demonstrates your home's revenue potential with real operational metrics. With 84% of ChampionsGate being non-owner-occupied, most buyers are investors who evaluate on income, not just comps.

ChampionsGate is one of the largest and most established vacation rental communities in the greater Orlando area. With over 1,400 homes across 10 sub-communities, two Greg Norman-designed championship golf courses, and the 16,500-square-foot Oasis Club, it draws both investors and vacation buyers from around the world.

But the market has shifted. Inventory is elevated at 360 active listings, homes are averaging 144 days on market, and prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks. At the same time, professionally managed properties are still running 76.5% occupancy and generating strong rental income.

This report breaks down the numbers so you know exactly where the market stands, what your home could sell for, and how to position it for the right buyers.

What Is Happening to ChampionsGate Prices

Over the past 12 months, 283 homes have sold in ChampionsGate. The average asking price was $479,845 and the average selling price was $458,298, reflecting a 96% list-to-sale ratio. Price per square foot is averaging $147 across all property types.

The 96% list-to-sale ratio tells you that sellers who price correctly are closing near their asking price. But with 360 active listings and only 283 closings over the past year, inventory is outpacing demand. That creates a buyer's market, and it means your listing needs to stand out on both presentation and data.

Price by Property Type

Price ranges based on current MLS listings and recent closed transactions. HOA fees are approximate and vary by sub-community. STR status must be confirmed per village.

The Village Problem: Why STR Status Changes Everything

This is the single most important thing to understand about ChampionsGate, and the detail most listing agents and market reports skip entirely. ChampionsGate is not one community. It is roughly 10 sub-communities under one gate, and short-term rental rules are different in each one.

A home in the resort district and a home in Country Club can sit 500 feet apart, look nearly identical, and have completely different buyer pools and value propositions. One is a vacation rental asset. The other is a primary residence. Pricing them the same way is a mistake.

Table reflects known STR policies as of Q4 2026. Additional sub-communities exist. STR status can change with HOA board votes.

Every ChampionsGate buyer runs the numbers before making an offer. If you are selling, you should know what those numbers look like so you can present your property's net income accurately. Costs vary by sub-community, so confirm exact figures for your specific village.

HOA and CDD figures approximate and subject to annual adjustment. CDD assessment from ChampionsGate CDD FY 2025. Booking taxes include 6% Florida sales tax, 1.5% discretionary surtax, and 6% Tourist Development Tax (TDT). Property tax rates vary between Polk and Osceola county portions of ChampionsGate. Verify current figures with the HOA and your county property appraiser.

A well-prepared listing includes a net income summary showing gross revenue minus all operating costs. When buyers can see the full picture on one sheet, it shortens your time on market. I prepare this for every ChampionsGate listing I take.

Current Inventory and What It Means

As of Q4 2026, ChampionsGate has 360 active listings with 283 closings over the past 12 months. That ratio puts the community firmly in buyer's market territory. For context, this means roughly 15 months of supply at the current absorption rate.

More inventory means more competition. But it also means buyers have more to compare against, which makes your listing's presentation and data even more important. The homes that sell fastest in this market share three traits:

• Priced based on closed sales, not aspirational asking prices. The 96% list-to-sale ratio shows the market rewards realistic pricing. Overpriced listings just add to the 144-day average.
• Revenue documentation included. With 84% of ChampionsGate homes being non-owner-occupied, your buyer is almost certainly an investor. Listings with 12-24 months of verified income data attract qualified buyers and justify price premiums.
• Professional photography and staging. Vacation homes sell on lifestyle. Most ChampionsGate buyers are out-of-state or international. They are making decisions from listing photos and virtual tours before booking a showing.

What This Means If You Are Selling

Here is the bottom line. ChampionsGate prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks, inventory is elevated, and homes are taking longer to sell. But rental demand remains strong at 76.5% occupancy, and the community's amenity package continues to attract guests and investors. If you are preparing to list, our guide to selling a short-term rental in ChampionsGate covers the full process from pricing to closing.

Most listing agents price vacation homes the same way they price primary residences: comps, comps, comps. That approach leaves money on the table in a community like ChampionsGate, where your home is not just a house but a revenue-generating asset.

I price my listings using both MLS comparable sales and actual rental income data because that is how vacation rental buyers evaluate properties. They are looking at cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, and occupancy trends. If your agent cannot speak that language, you are marketing to the wrong buyer pool.

What Makes ChampionsGate Attractive to Buyers

Understanding what draws buyers to ChampionsGate helps you position your listing. The community's amenity package is one of the strongest in the Orlando vacation rental market:

• The Oasis Club: 16,500-square-foot clubhouse with zero-entry pool, 500-foot lazy river, waterslides, splash pad, quiet pool with spa, private cabanas, tiki bar, fitness center, movie theater, game room, and dining.
• Greg Norman Golf: Two 18-hole championship courses, including the International Course ranked #10 in the Top 25 Public Courses in America.
• Location: 20-25 minutes to Disney World, 35-40 minutes to Epic Universe, 30 minutes to SeaWorld. Direct I-4 access at ChampionsGate Boulevard.
• On-site convenience: ChampionsGate Village with Publix, restaurants, and banking. The adjacent Omni Orlando Resort completed a $40 million expansion that added Orlando's only resort wave pool, 23,000 sqft of deck space, and a redesigned conference center. That investment raises the profile of the entire ChampionsGate address.

These amenities are selling points in your listing description and they directly impact your nightly rate. Guests booking a ChampionsGate home expect a resort experience, and that expectation is why the community commands higher ADR than standalone vacation homes in Davenport. For a detailed breakdown of how ChampionsGate stacks up against similar communities, see our ChampionsGate vs. Reunion Resort comparison.

Primary-residence villages like Country Club and Stoneybrook are owner-occupied only. Some properties also have maximum owner-use restrictions. Always confirm STR status for the specific village before purchasing or listing.

Why should I list my ChampionsGate home with Mike Chen?

Mike Chen is a licensed realtor who also manages 100+ vacation rental units through FunStay Florida. He prices listings using both MLS comparable sales and actual rental income data, markets to qualified STR investor-buyers, and demonstrates your home's revenue potential with real operational metrics. With 84% of ChampionsGate being non-owner-occupied, most buyers are investors who evaluate on income, not just comps.

ChampionsGate is one of the largest and most established vacation rental communities in the greater Orlando area. With over 1,400 homes across 10 sub-communities, two Greg Norman-designed championship golf courses, and the 16,500-square-foot Oasis Club, it draws both investors and vacation buyers from around the world.

But the market has shifted. Inventory is elevated at 360 active listings, homes are averaging 144 days on market, and prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks. At the same time, professionally managed properties are still running 76.5% occupancy and generating strong rental income.

This report breaks down the numbers so you know exactly where the market stands, what your home could sell for, and how to position it for the right buyers.

What Is Happening to ChampionsGate Prices

Over the past 12 months, 283 homes have sold in ChampionsGate. The average asking price was $479,845 and the average selling price was $458,298, reflecting a 96% list-to-sale ratio. Price per square foot is averaging $147 across all property types.

The 96% list-to-sale ratio tells you that sellers who price correctly are closing near their asking price. But with 360 active listings and only 283 closings over the past year, inventory is outpacing demand. That creates a buyer's market, and it means your listing needs to stand out on both presentation and data.

Price by Property Type

Price ranges based on current MLS listings and recent closed transactions. HOA fees are approximate and vary by sub-community. STR status must be confirmed per village.

The Village Problem: Why STR Status Changes Everything

This is the single most important thing to understand about ChampionsGate, and the detail most listing agents and market reports skip entirely. ChampionsGate is not one community. It is roughly 10 sub-communities under one gate, and short-term rental rules are different in each one.

A home in the resort district and a home in Country Club can sit 500 feet apart, look nearly identical, and have completely different buyer pools and value propositions. One is a vacation rental asset. The other is a primary residence. Pricing them the same way is a mistake.

Table reflects known STR policies as of Q4 2026. Additional sub-communities exist. STR status can change with HOA board votes. Always verify current rules with the specific sub-community HOA and Osceola County zoning before buying or listing. Sub-community median prices from MovewithMomentum.com where available.

Rental Revenue: What ChampionsGate Homes Actually Earn

ChampionsGate benefits from its location just off I-4, roughly 20-25 minutes from Disney World and 35-40 minutes from Universal's new Epic Universe. That proximity, combined with the Oasis Club amenities and Greg Norman golf, keeps guest demand strong year-round.

Across professionally managed properties, ChampionsGate is achieving an average occupancy rate of 76.5%. That is above the broader Kissimmee/Davenport market average, though the gap varies by property type, furnishing quality, and management approach.

Annual Revenue by Property Type

As of Q4 2026, ChampionsGate has 360 active listings with 283 closings over the past 12 months. That ratio puts the community firmly in buyer's market territory. For context, this means roughly 15 months of supply at the current absorption rate.

More inventory means more competition. But it also means buyers have more to compare against, which makes your listing's presentation and data even more important. The homes that sell fastest in this market share three traits:

• Priced based on closed sales, not aspirational asking prices. The 96% list-to-sale ratio shows the market rewards realistic pricing. Overpriced listings just add to the 144-day average.
• Revenue documentation included. With 84% of ChampionsGate homes being non-owner-occupied, your buyer is almost certainly an investor. Listings with 12-24 months of verified income data attract qualified buyers and justify price premiums.
• Professional photography and staging. Vacation homes sell on lifestyle. Most ChampionsGate buyers are out-of-state or international. They are making decisions from listing photos and virtual tours before booking a showing.

What This Means If You Are Selling

Here is the bottom line. ChampionsGate prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks, inventory is elevated, and homes are taking longer to sell. But rental demand remains strong at 76.5% occupancy, and the community's amenity package continues to attract guests and investors. If you are preparing to list, our guide to selling a short-term rental in ChampionsGate covers the full process from pricing to closing.

Most listing agents price vacation homes the same way they price primary residences: comps, comps, comps. That approach leaves money on the table in a community like ChampionsGate, where your home is not just a house but a revenue-generating asset.

I price my listings using both MLS comparable sales and actual rental income data because that is how vacation rental buyers evaluate properties. They are looking at cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, and occupancy trends. If your agent cannot speak that language, you are marketing to the wrong buyer pool.

What Makes ChampionsGate Attractive to Buyers

Understanding what draws buyers to ChampionsGate helps you position your listing. The community's amenity package is one of the strongest in the Orlando vacation rental market:

• The Oasis Club: 16,500-square-foot clubhouse with zero-entry pool, 500-foot lazy river, waterslides, splash pad, quiet pool with spa, private cabanas, tiki bar, fitness center, movie theater, game room, and dining.
• Greg Norman Golf: Two 18-hole championship courses, including the International Course ranked #10 in the Top 25 Public Courses in America.
• Location: 20-25 minutes to Disney World, 35-40 minutes to Epic Universe, 30 minutes to SeaWorld. Direct I-4 access at ChampionsGate Boulevard.
• On-site convenience: ChampionsGate Village with Publix, restaurants, and banking. The adjacent Omni Orlando Resort completed a $40 million expansion that added Orlando's only resort wave pool, 23,000 sqft of deck space, and a redesigned conference center. That investment raises the profile of the entire ChampionsGate address.

These amenities are selling points in your listing description and they directly impact your nightly rate. Guests booking a ChampionsGate home expect a resort experience, and that expectation is why the community commands higher ADR than standalone vacation homes in Davenport. For a detailed breakdown of how ChampionsGate stacks up against similar communities, see our ChampionsGate vs. Reunion Resort comparison.

Primary-residence villages like Country Club and Stoneybrook are owner-occupied only. Some properties also have maximum owner-use restrictions. Always confirm STR status for the specific village before purchasing or listing.

Why should I list my ChampionsGate home with Mike Chen?

Mike Chen is a licensed realtor who also manages 100+ vacation rental units through FunStay Florida. He prices listings using both MLS comparable sales and actual rental income data, markets to qualified STR investor-buyers, and demonstrates your home's revenue potential with real operational metrics. With 84% of ChampionsGate being non-owner-occupied, most buyers are investors who evaluate on income, not just comps.

ChampionsGate is one of the largest and most established vacation rental communities in the greater Orlando area. With over 1,400 homes across 10 sub-communities, two Greg Norman-designed championship golf courses, and the 16,500-square-foot Oasis Club, it draws both investors and vacation buyers from around the world.

But the market has shifted. Inventory is elevated at 360 active listings, homes are averaging 144 days on market, and prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks. At the same time, professionally managed properties are still running 76.5% occupancy and generating strong rental income.

This report breaks down the numbers so you know exactly where the market stands, what your home could sell for, and how to position it for the right buyers.

What Is Happening to ChampionsGate Prices

Over the past 12 months, 283 homes have sold in ChampionsGate. The average asking price was $479,845 and the average selling price was $458,298, reflecting a 96% list-to-sale ratio. Price per square foot is averaging $147 across all property types.

The 96% list-to-sale ratio tells you that sellers who price correctly are closing near their asking price. But with 360 active listings and only 283 closings over the past year, inventory is outpacing demand. That creates a buyer's market, and it means your listing needs to stand out on both presentation and data.

Price by Property Type

Price ranges based on current MLS listings and recent closed transactions. HOA fees are approximate and vary by sub-community. STR status must be confirmed per village.

The Village Problem: Why STR Status Changes Everything

This is the single most important thing to understand about ChampionsGate, and the detail most listing agents and market reports skip entirely. ChampionsGate is not one community. It is roughly 10 sub-communities under one gate, and short-term rental rules are different in each one.

A home in the resort district and a home in Country Club can sit 500 feet apart, look nearly identical, and have completely different buyer pools and value propositions. One is a vacation rental asset. The other is a primary residence. Pricing them the same way is a mistake.

Table reflects known STR policies as of Q4 2026. Additional sub-communities exist. STR status can change with HOA board votes. Always verify current rules with the specific sub-community HOA and Osceola County zoning before buying or listing. Sub-community median prices from MovewithMomentum.com where available.

Rental Revenue: What ChampionsGate Homes Actually Earn

ChampionsGate benefits from its location just off I-4, roughly 20-25 minutes from Disney World and 35-40 minutes from Universal's new Epic Universe. That proximity, combined with the Oasis Club amenities and Greg Norman golf, keeps guest demand strong year-round.

Across professionally managed properties, ChampionsGate is achieving an average occupancy rate of 76.5%. That is above the broader Kissimmee/Davenport market average, though the gap varies by property type, furnishing quality, and management approach.

HOA and CDD figures approximate and subject to annual adjustment. CDD assessment from ChampionsGate CDD FY 2025. Booking taxes include 6% Florida sales tax, 1.5% discretionary surtax, and 6% Tourist Development Tax (TDT). Property tax rates vary between Polk and Osceola county portions of ChampionsGate.

• Professional photography and staging. Vacation homes sell on lifestyle. Most ChampionsGate buyers are out-of-state or international. They are making decisions from listing photos and virtual tours before booking a showing.

What This Means If You Are Selling

Here is the bottom line. ChampionsGate prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks, inventory is elevated, and homes are taking longer to sell. But rental demand remains strong at 76.5% occupancy, and the community's amenity package continues to attract guests and investors. If you are preparing to list, our guide to selling a short-term rental in ChampionsGate covers the full process from pricing to closing.

Most listing agents price vacation homes the same way they price primary residences: comps, comps, comps. That approach leaves money on the table in a community like ChampionsGate, where your home is not just a house but a revenue-generating asset.

I price my listings using both MLS comparable sales and actual rental income data because that is how vacation rental buyers evaluate properties. They are looking at cap rates, cash-on-cash returns, and occupancy trends. If your agent cannot speak that language, you are marketing to the wrong buyer pool.

What Makes ChampionsGate Attractive to Buyers

Understanding what draws buyers to ChampionsGate helps you position your listing. The community's amenity package is one of the strongest in the Orlando vacation rental market:

• The Oasis Club: 16,500-square-foot clubhouse with zero-entry pool, 500-foot lazy river, waterslides, splash pad, quiet pool with spa, private cabanas, tiki bar, fitness center, movie theater, game room, and dining.
• Greg Norman Golf: Two 18-hole championship courses, including the International Course ranked #10 in the Top 25 Public Courses in America.
• Location: 20-25 minutes to Disney World, 35-40 minutes to Epic Universe, 30 minutes to SeaWorld. Direct I-4 access at ChampionsGate Boulevard.
• On-site convenience: ChampionsGate Village with Publix, restaurants, and banking. The adjacent Omni Orlando Resort completed a $40 million expansion that added Orlando's only resort wave pool, 23,000 sqft of deck space, and a redesigned conference center. That investment raises the profile of the entire ChampionsGate address.

These amenities are selling points in your listing description and they directly impact your nightly rate. Guests booking a ChampionsGate home expect a resort experience, and that expectation is why the community commands higher ADR than standalone vacation homes in Davenport.

But the market has shifted. Inventory is elevated at 360 active listings, homes are averaging 144 days on market, and prices have softened from their post-pandemic peaks. At the same time, professionally managed properties are still running 76.5% occupancy and generating strong rental income.

What Is Happening to ChampionsGate Prices

Over the past 12 months, 283 homes have sold in ChampionsGate. The average asking price was $479,845 and the average selling price was $458,298, reflecting a 96% list-to-sale ratio. Price per square foot is averaging $147 across all property types.

The 96% list-to-sale ratio tells you that sellers who price correctly are closing near their asking price. But with 360 active listings and only 283 closings over the past year, inventory is outpacing demand. That creates a buyer's market, and it means your listing needs to stand out on both presentation and data.

Price by Property Type

Price ranges based on current MLS listings and recent closed transactions. HOA fees are approximate and vary by sub-community. STR status must be confirmed per village.

The Village Problem: Why STR Status Changes Everything

This is the single most important thing to understand about ChampionsGate, and the detail most listing agents and market reports skip entirely. ChampionsGate is not one community. It is roughly 10 sub-communities under one gate, and short-term rental rules are different in each one.

A home in the resort district and a home in Country Club can sit 500 feet apart, look nearly identical, and have completely different buyer pools and value propositions. One is a vacation rental asset. The other is a primary residence. Pricing them the same way is a mistake.

Table reflects known STR policies as of Q4 2026. Additional sub-communities exist. STR status can change with HOA board votes. Always verify current rules with the specific sub-community HOA and Osceola County zoning before buying or listing. Sub-community median prices from MovewithMomentum.com where available.

Rental Revenue: What ChampionsGate Homes Actually Earn

ChampionsGate benefits from its location just off I-4, roughly 20-25 minutes from Disney World and 35-40 minutes from Universal's new Epic Universe. That proximity, combined with the Oasis Club amenities and Greg Norman golf, keeps guest demand strong year-round.

Across professionally managed properties, ChampionsGate is achieving an average occupancy rate of 76.5%. That is above the broader Kissimmee/Davenport market average, though the gap varies by property type, furnishing quality, and management approach.

Cost of Ownership Breakdown

Every ChampionsGate buyer runs the numbers before making an offer. If you are selling, you should know what those numbers look like so you can present your property's net income accurately. Costs vary by sub-community, so confirm exact figures for your specific village.

HOA and CDD figures approximate and subject to annual adjustment. CDD assessment from ChampionsGate CDD FY 2025. Booking taxes include 6% Florida sales tax, 1.5% discretionary surtax, and 6% Tourist Development Tax (TDT). Property tax rates vary between Polk and Osceola county portions of ChampionsGate. Verify current figures with the HOA and your county property appraiser.

A well-prepared listing includes a net income summary showing gross revenue minus all operating costs. When buyers can see the full picture on one sheet, it shortens your time on market. I prepare this for every ChampionsGate listing I take.

Current Inventory and What It Means

As of Q4 2026, ChampionsGate has 360 active listings with 283 closings over the past 12 months. That ratio puts the community firmly in buyer's market territory. For context, this means roughly 15 months of supply at the current absorption rate.

More inventory means more competition. But it also means buyers have more to compare against, which makes your listing's presentation and data even more important. The homes that sell fastest in this market share three traits:

• Priced based on closed sales, not aspirational asking prices. The 96% list-to-sale ratio shows the market rewards realistic pricing. Overpriced listings just add to the 144-day average.
• Revenue documentation included. With 84% of ChampionsGate homes being non-owner-occupied, your buyer is almost certainly an investor. Listings with 12-24 months of verified income data attract qualified buyers and justify price premiums.
