Insurance - The Bad & Good

There's good and bad news when it comes to damage caused by hurricanes and tropical storms. Damage caused by storms that never become hurricanes, like T.S.-Fay, are treated differently.

A recent report by the Florida Association of Realtors® concurs, we may have finally landed on the bottom.  Actually, bouncing is a more accurate description.

The market value for homes in Poinciana appears to be making some attempt to stabilize.  Like skipping a stone in one of Poinciana's many ponds, sales are bouncing between about 40 and 60 sales per month. Poinciana Foreclosures

While some home values have declined, particularly in the Bellalago area, home sales have stayed steady in areas like Solivita and Crescent Lakes.  Overall, property inventory has not increased much over the past year, staying below 1,200.  

While sales have increased slightly, helping to keep home values from the downward spiral that the Poinciana area has been experiencing, the area's absorption rate has been declining from a summer-time high of about five percent.  Absorption rate for Osceola County stood at 3.98%, which reflects a one percent decrease in sales since late July.  A total of 314 homes have been sold in Poinciana so far in 2008.

Overall in Florida, FAR recently reported that sales for single-family existing home sales rose for the first time in more than two years. While only six more homes sold in July 2008 tha ... read more ...

The market value for homes in Poinciana continues to decline but total sales increased for the second month in a row.  Although sales have increased, market values continue to fall, likely due to excessive inventory. 

The number of homes sold increased from April to May and remained above 40 in June.  In July 2008, 72,465 people called Poinciana home in an area of 20,303 homes.  The least expensive of these sells today for $41 per square foot.  The least expensive single family home in Poinciana has an asking price of $50,000.

Absorption rate for Osceola County stood at 4.04%, which reflects a steady increase from a low of 2.00% in January 2008, but inventory remained excessively high at over 1,100 homes on the market for sale. 

A total of 208 homes have been sold in Poinciana so far in 2008 reflecting average sales of slightly over one per day.  Solivita and Crescent Lakes maintain higher average sales and values than Poinciana-proper.

POINCIANA, Fla. -- June 10, 2008 -- If you blinked at yesterday's meeting of the Association of Poinciana Villages (APV), you would have missed the board's touching on the issue of foreclosed homes in Poinciana. With foreclosures on the rise, officials throughout Florida are fielding more complaints about pools, those in-ground symbols of luxury, that have become host to algae, frogs, turtles and other wildlife.

Poinciana @ Home Green Pool ImageAs the issue of foreclosures worsens, local families becoming ill from living near these types of pools may become an issue that will force the APV to act. If left too long to fester, "green pools" produce a foul smell, which attracts the attention of those living by them and could also become a safety issue for children attracted to green-pool homes, which are for the most part abandoned.  In addition, "green pools" or pools with excessive algae growth are breeding grounds for water-borne bacteria, toads and disease-carrying mosquitoes. 

The APV reported a total of over-1,700 properties currently in foreclosure in Poinciana, which equates to about a one-in-ten chance of living near a green pool in this southwest Kissimmee community. The APV reported that they expect the issue of foreclosures to get worse with more than...read more...
