Seven licensed mobile home communities in Orange City, holding 1,121 lots. Country Village Mobile Home Park is the largest at 460, then Orange Tree Village at 246, Land O’ Lakes Mobile Home Park at 178, Candlelight Mobile Home Park at 108 and Orange City Mobile Home Park at 65.
Just over a thousand lots in a town small enough that most people know which community you mean when you name it.
Find out what your home is worth. Tell us about it and we will call you back, usually the same day.
A market where the community name does most of the pricing
Country Village at 460 lots is nearly half the town’s supply on its own, and buyers here shop by community rather than by address. Two homes of the same age and size, a mile apart, can be twenty thousand dollars apart on price purely because of which office holds the lease.

Which means a valuation that averages across the town is worse than useless. We weight to your community first, then to comparable Volusia County closings, and we tell you which sales carried the most weight.
The park approval step is where listings die
Every one of these communities screens buyers. Income, background, sometimes pets and vehicle counts. Some offices turn an application around in a week and some take a month, and none of that is published anywhere you can look it up.
On a thirty day agreement that timing is the difference between a sale and a listing that expires with a willing buyer still waiting on paperwork. We manage the approval rather than handing you a phone number and wishing you luck.
We produce the number first, free
Fill in the form and we will call you, ask about the home, its age, condition and lot rent, and produce a full Comparative Market Analysis: comparable closings, what is competing with you right now, and a recommended list price with the reasoning written out.
No obligation, and the figures are yours whether you list with us or not. Plenty of people take the analysis, decide the timing is wrong and call back a year later. That is a perfectly good outcome.
Once you have the number you can compare the two options side by side, listing against a cash offer, on your own figures rather than on somebody’s sales pitch.
Ready to see the number? Fill this in and we will do the analysis and walk you through it.
What it costs, and what you get
A flat $2,500, paid only when the home sells. Nothing up front, nothing if it does not sell, and no percentage of the sale price. The agreement runs 30 days, not six months, because if we cannot sell it in a month we have not earned the right to hold it.
For that you get professional photography with drone coverage, a written listing in English and Spanish, syndication to twelve platforms including Zillow and MHVillage, buyer screening before anybody walks through, negotiation, and park approval handled for you.
Every week a written report lands in your inbox: views, impressions, calls, texts, showings, and how the listing is doing against the rest of the market. Good news or bad, in writing, so you are never guessing whether anything is happening.
Closings are handled entirely online. That is our process from start to finish.
If the home is rough, or has to leave the lot
Not every home in Orange City is retirement-ready, and some have sat empty a long time.
We still list them. Water damage, soft floors, a roof at the end of its life, a home nobody has lived in for two years. There is a buyer for homes nobody else will take more often than people expect, and the alternative most sellers are weighing is paying thousands to have it demolished.
If the home sits on private land rather than in one of the seven communities, and the land is not for sale, the buyer takes the home away instead. That is a home that must be moved: no park approval step, and the buyer pays for and arranges the move. The build date decides whether it is possible, because Florida will not permit relocating a home built before June 15, 1976.
If you are looking to buy one instead
Nearly half the mobile home searches for this area come from buyers rather than sellers, so it is worth saying plainly: what is on the market with us now is listed on My State MLS. That is a statewide list rather than an Orange City one, and it changes as homes come and go.
Call before you commit to anything you find there. It is also worth understanding lending on mobile homes early, because what you can borrow shapes what you can buy.
How brokering works in Florida explains why selling a home on a rented lot needs a different license from a realtor’s. We also work mobile homes in DeLand and mobile homes in New Smyrna Beach.
