Hourglass Lake Estates is a small, low-key Venice neighborhood built around its namesake lake, where a modest $38-a-month HOA keeps things simple and the streets stay residential. Homes here run a comfortable size — the median is just over 2,000 square feet — and the assigned schools include Taylor Ranch Elementary School, Venice Middle School, and Venice Senior High School. It's the kind of pocket that appeals to buyers who want lake views and space without the amenity fees of a big master-planned community.
Right now the market here is thin: there's a single active listing at $449,000, and only three homes have sold in the past twelve months at a median of $454,000. That scarcity means when the right house comes up, you move — sellers are getting about 95% of asking and homes are going pending in a median of 18 days. If you want more inventory to compare against, it's worth widening the net to nearby West Villages or Sarasota National, or browsing broader Venice homes for sale.
Hourglass Lake Estates is a community in Venice, Florida.

It sits in a mid-range bracket for Venice, with the current listing priced at $449,000 and homes selling at a median of $454,000 over the past year. At roughly $219 per square foot, it's more attainable than the $1M+ tiers you'll find in some newer communities like Sarasota National. There are no active listings above $1M here today.

How is the market right now?+
Inventory is very tight — just one active listing and three sales over the past year. When homes do come up they move quickly, with a median of 18 days on market and sellers netting about 95% of their asking price, so serious buyers should be ready to act.
What are the HOA fees and property taxes?+
The HOA runs a median of about $38 per month, which is modest compared to amenity-rich Venice communities like West Villages. Property taxes come in around $4,916 per year at current values, so budget for both when comparing homes.
