central florida: Cold Florida Day Alone on the Beach - 12/28/10 08:18 PM
Record Cold in Central Florida - You're friends are waiting for you at the beach...
Record cold weather couldn't keep one brave soul from parking on the beach. While they were out for a walk, their car made a lot of new friends. I hope when they came back that their car wasn't covered with more than just birds.
If you want to escape the great white North and spend some time at the beach this Winter... Come on down, new friends are waiting for you.

central florida: Foreclosures For Sale in Lake Mary Florida - 12/04/10 07:31 AM
Do you like getting a good deal? I know I do. Some of the best deals available in the current housing market can be found when you buy a distressed property. If you’re patient you can buy a short sale home [often found in move-in condition] or if you have a specific timeline and don’t want the uncertainty of a short sale, you can make an offer on a bank owned home.
A foreclosure has already been repossessed by the bank who held the note at the time the homeowner defaulted and is now being offered for sale by the … (2 comments)

central florida: Why I Love Living In The Orlando Area: #2 - Kennedy Space Center - 01/13/09 10:09 PM
I know, everyone thought I was going to the beach or Disney next... but, I had to make a quick stop at Kennedy Space Center.
Goose Bumps... That's what you get when you watch the Space Shuttle launch at Kennedy Space Center. I've been inside the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building) and been up close to the Shuttle and it's simply amazing. A real life Space Ship encounter right here in Central Florida.
There is always a feeling of excitement on launch day as you can see the glow of the engine thrusters all the way to Orlando. I'll never forget the … (6 comments)

central florida: Seminole County Florida Real Estate Update: December 2008 - 01/05/09 07:05 PM
It's over... 2008 is complete and much has changed in the past 12 months. We have a whole new vocabulary that includes words like short-sale, credit-swaps and bailout. We watched interest rates climb up to 7% and plummet over 2 points down to below 5%, real estate roller coaster is a accurate description to the past 12 months.
It's 2009 and we begin the year with some positive news, the Inventory of homes for sale in Seminole County, Florida is at a 12 month low. Less inventory takes us in the right direction towards market equilibrium.

central florida: First-Time Home Buyers Ask: Which Comes First... The Chicken or The Egg? - 12/20/08 06:05 PM
I received a referral this week from a first time home buyer I'm currently working with and some very good questions...
Who should her friend contact first - Me or the loan officer that I referred her to? This first time home buyer already knew from working with me that her friend shouldn't actually look at homes until she finds out what her buying power is and what type of loan she qualifies for first.
You see I ask all Lake Mary home buyers to get Pre-Qualified for a mortgage before we actually go out to look for a home. Getting pre-qualified for a mortgage is the first step down the road to home ownership and it shouldn't be past by just to see … (3 comments)

central florida: Stella Summers' Christmas Wish... Adopt A Pet Like Me! - 12/06/08 07:33 PM
Hi My Name is Stella Summers! I'm an 11 year old Tabby/Calico Cat... I sleep about 20.5 hours per day, I know... it takes a lot of discipline to sleep that much, but I'm a hard working house cat and I need my beauty sleep.
When I'm not sleeping I like to play with string, watch the birds & squirrels, lick myself and help my mom blog... Many of the posts you read here on Active Rain were written with my help, I'm never far from her and even while I'm sleeping I inspire greatness. That dog park blog she just wrote... that was my idea.

central florida: Seminole County Real Estate Market Update November 2008 - 12/06/08 04:14 PM
Welcome back to this monthly installment of the Seminole County Real Estate Market Update!
Seminole County includes the cities of Lake Mary, Sanford, Altamonte Springs, Winter Springs, Oviedo, Casselberry and Fern Park.
This month we saw a decrease in sales for the month of 54 homes from, 262 to 208...
Did the increasing interest rates in November have an affect on the number of sales? In my opinion, Mortgage Interest Rates are one of the top concerns of Seminole County home buyers today. Interest rates can be the difference between qualifying for the house you love or settling for a home that … (0 comments)
