Storey Lake remains one of the highest-performing vacation rental communities near Disney World. But the market has shifted. Resale prices have softened from their 2023-2024 peaks, inventory has climbed, and homes are sitting longer.
At the same time, rental revenue is holding. Professionally managed properties in Storey Lake are running 77-83% occupancy, well above the broader Kissimmee market. That gap between softening resale prices and strong income is the single most important thing sellers need to understand right now.
This report breaks down the numbers, property type by property type, so you know exactly where the market stands and what your home could sell for.

What Is Happening to Storey Lake Prices
The median sold price in Storey Lake is $449,500. The median asking price is $550,000. In the last 90 days alone, 50 properties have closed, with another 23 currently pending. There are 149 active listings across all property types.
The gap between the $550,000 median asking price and the $449,500 median sold price tells you something important: a significant portion of active listings are overpriced relative to what the market will actually pay. Sellers who price correctly are closing. Sellers who chase 2023 peak prices are sitting. The median time from listing to closing is 132 days, up from the sub-100-day pace of 2022-2023.
Seller insight:
The price correction is real, but it is concentrated in properties with weak or undocumented rental histories. Homes with verified income data are holding value better because buyers can underwrite the investment before making an offer. If your home has strong revenue numbers, that is your most powerful selling tool.

Rental Revenue: Why Storey Lake Still Outperforms
Here is the other side of the story. While resale prices have softened, Storey Lake rental revenue remains strong. The community sits 4.2 miles from Disney World, 22 minutes from the new Epic Universe at Universal, and benefits from resort-grade amenities that consistently drive guest bookings.
Across our managed portfolio at FunStay Florida, Storey Lake properties are achieving 77-83% occupancy. The broader Kissimmee vacation rental market runs at 60-69%. That 10-15 point gap is significant, and it directly translates into higher annual income and stronger buyer interest. For a full breakdown of what owners are actually earning, see our Storey Lake rental income report.
Annual Revenue by Property Type
| Property Type | Bedrooms | Annual Revenue | Occupancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Condos | 2-3 BR | $31,000 – $47,000 | 77-83% |
| Townhomes | 4-5 BR | $42,000 – $66,000 | 77-83% |
| Single-Family | 5-6 BR | $65,000 – $90,000 | 77-83% |
| Estate / Luxury | 7-9 BR | $80,000 – $123,000 | 77-83% |
Revenue data from FunStay Florida managed portfolio. Individual results vary based on furnishing quality, listing optimization, pricing strategy, and management approach. Occupancy reflects professionally managed units.
Storey Lake vs. Kissimmee Market
Why this matters for sellers:
A vacation rental buyer evaluates your home on income, not just square footage. A 5-bedroom Storey Lake home generating $75,000/year justifies a higher price than one with no rental history. When I list a Storey Lake property, I include the revenue data in the listing because it changes how qualified buyers perceive value.

Cost of Ownership Breakdown
Every Storey Lake 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.
| Cost Item | Townhomes | Single-Family |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly HOA | ~$401/mo | ~$430/mo |
| Annual CDD Assessment | ~$1,428/yr | ~$2,282/yr |
| Property Tax Rate | ~1.8% assessed | ~1.8% assessed |
| STR Licensing (Annual) | ~$400-$450 | ~$400-$450 |
| Booking Taxes (Total) | 13.5% | 13.5% |
HOA and CDD figures approximate and subject to annual adjustment. Booking taxes include 6% Florida sales tax, 1.5% Osceola discretionary surtax, and 6% Tourist Development Tax (TDT). Verify current figures with the HOA and Osceola County.
These costs are important for sellers to understand because a well-prepared listing includes a net income summary. For a deeper look at how revenue, fees, and risk factor into the investment picture, read our Storey Lake investment analysis. When buyers can see the gross revenue, operating costs, and net return on one sheet, it shortens your time on market. I prepare this for every Storey Lake listing I take.
Current Inventory and What It Means
As of Q4 2026, Storey Lake has 149 active listings: 65 single-family homes, 49 townhomes, and 35 condos. Another 23 are pending. In the last 90 days, 50 properties have closed. That inventory level is elevated compared to 2022-2023, when listings were tighter and homes moved faster.
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 asking prices. The gap between median asking ($550K) and median sold ($449.5K) shows that overpriced listings sit. Realistic pricing based on recent closings moves homes faster.
- Revenue documentation included. Listings with 12-24 months of verified income data attract qualified investors and justify price premiums over revenue-blind comps.
- Professional photography and staging. Vacation homes sell on lifestyle. Most Storey Lake 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. Storey Lake resale prices have softened from their 2023-2024 peaks, but the community’s rental fundamentals are strong. The gap between what comps alone suggest and what income data supports is your biggest opportunity as a seller.
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 Storey Lake, 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.
A real example:
The median single-family sold price right now is $670,000. But a 5-bedroom pool home with 24 months of documented revenue showing $78,000/year in gross income tells a different story than one with no rental history. That is an 11%+ gross yield. Investor-buyers understand that immediately, and they will pay more for verified income.
