Is your Orlando home upside down? Short sale instead of Foreclosure

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:29:36 -0500

Orlando homes for sale are situated a little differently lately, upside down. In summary, a short sale is a situation where you owe the lender more than you can sell your home for. Fortunately, in today's real estate environment lenders have become more lenient in accepting less than the full amount owed to them to avoid the lengthy and costly process of foreclosure.

What this means to you is that your family has options, but you must consult with professionals who are experienced in these type of negotiations. TeamConnect has knowledge of all the short sale procedures and our team has short sale packets ready to go. We are also partnered with a team of attorneys and title agencies who negotiate and close short sales every single day. Couple that with our extensive knowledge of the local markets like Dr Phillips, Windermere real estate and Orlando homes coupled with our pool of investors who seek buying opportunities you have a winning that benefits all parties. I

The best part for you as a seller is that any commission due us will be negotiated and paid by the lender...not you! Call TeamConnect today to discuss whether you are a candidate for a short sale. We understand that the real estate environment today can be confusing and frustrating for families so we guarantee expert advice and care while maintaining the strictest confidentiality and privacy as we discuss your personal and financial matters.

Call us today for a FREE consultation to see if a short sale will work for you. 407-516-1000

Spring into Dr. Phillips and Central Florida's real estate market

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 20:59:59 -0500

Central Florida's real estate market has been heating up this past few months with buyers seeing value and feeling comfortable purchasing homes. Basic economics is gradual decreases in price until value comes back, WECLOME BACK VALUE, we missed you!

This Spring investors both foregin (UK and Canada) and local buyers are purchasing bank owned condominums and single family homes under 150k, many of them cash purchases. It started with the condo market and prices under 50k in April and May and since moved on to single family homes. The past 90 days just in the Hamptons there were 95 sold and pending sales and in Metro West area during the same period 418, a great start going into Summer. I think history will look back on Spring and Summer of 2009 as the bottom of the market.

Banks willing to package multiple condos for sale

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:35:53 -0500

Bank owned homes and condominiums were and still are hot buys starting out 2009. Priced attractive with quick response times make them good deals, unlike the messy "short sale" process. Searching the MLS for communities that used to be filled with these highly sought after properties are now coming up empty handed or at best one or two over priced properties. Looking back the first quarter of 2009 an investor would of had a field day with minimal competition and the pick of the crop. Today as soon as bank owned properties hit the MLS Realtors are quick to get the information to their buyers and most times are in a multiple offer situation with purchase prices going above list price.

Serious investors many offering cash are now purchasing multiple condominium bulk sales. Typically priced below market value these bulk sale condo units sell at 60 to 70 percent off market value. Yes there is still value and asset managers know the current activity in the Central Florida real estate market.

One community within minutes from down town Orlando and popular restaurant row in Dr. Phillips advertises units at $80,000 to $90,000 per unit but purchasing a mixed number of one and two bedroom condos you can negoticate that price in the $50,000's. Two pools, indoor racket ball, fitness room and lakefront property.

Orlando is not the only place offering bulk sales, St. Pete and the costal community will have bulk sales coming up in the next month. Opportunity is out there for people willing to look.

Has real estate market landed in Central Florida markets

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 06:00:30 -0500

Central Florida's Dr. Phillips homes, Windermere and Orlando real estate markets are seeing an increase in buyer activity which bolds well going into Spring and Summer months. Agents in the office are walking with a jump in their step, phones ringing, buyers in conference rooms and offers and contracts are being signed, Gang, I think we hit bottom, in some markets.

Take a look at the numbers from the Orlando Regional Realtors Association last month, we don't have March numbers but I have a strong feeling when they do come out we'll see significant increases in properties going under contract and closing.

If you're wondering why we're not hearing this on the local news it's because they talk about previous month's activity. Sure we want to know trends so that we get a good idea of where we're going but I'm talking about March and what's going on now. The bottom of the market doesn't mean everyone can purchase either. Banks are still very tight with lending, it's a buyers market because the inventory levels are still very high but not a borrowers market. We are seeing more cash and multiple offers on bank owned homes which tend to be some of the better deals.

Make no mistake the economy's struggling and there are a lot of variables that could throw cold water on any market come back but investors are picking up properties and many times more then one. Central Florida's real estate market came crashing down in 2006 and the climb up will be slow and methodical with hiccups along the way. One thing is for sure the real estate market will come back and we'll know we hit bottom when we see significant increases in pending and closed properties. Waiting for the absolute bottom of the market you may be waving at a boat that already sailed and much of the leverage a buyer had in the past would be gone playing on a more leveled playing field.

Are you holding your home hostage? 5 Steps to set it FREE!

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 12:01:57 -0600

Sellers can be their own worst enemy when trying to sell in a strong buyers market. Home owners selling in today's market better get ready to enter shark infected waters. Bank owned, pre foreclosures and short sales liter the Orlando, Windermere and Dr. Phillips real estate market, adding to the already high inventory levels. Here are five steps to set your home Free and get it sold.

1. Price Your list price is the most important element of the selling process. An over price home will not get showings and with no showings come no offers. There are two strategies when pricing a home.
In today's strong buyers market pricing a home CLOSER to where it will sell and staying firm on the price is your best bet. Sure you may get low ball offers but everyone does. What you are doing is pricing your home attractively which will result in more showings then an over priced home and getting offers you can work with.

2. Staging That's right a new buyer is not taking the towels on the floor or the dirty dishes in the sink but they are looking at it and talking about it and not paying attention to the floor plan and the features of the home. Going out with buyers the past 10 years I see them get distracted in a home that does not show pristine. Comments like "I would never sell my home looking like this" and usually the jokes start to follow. Buyers can not imagine themselves buying a messy, cluttered home but they do see themselves in a show room ready home with everything in its place.

3. Exposure It makes no sense stopping at the Price and the Staging aspects of a home going on the market with out plan for maximum exposure. No two Realtors or real estate companies for that matter work the same. The numbers tell us 87% of buyers start their search on the Internet. Past experience has shown me sellers choose a Realtor based on the price rather then what they will do to get a home sold. Interview at least two real estate companies and better yet three. Hire the company that shows you the Internet exposure and print advertising your home will receive.

4. Accessibility So you are all set with steps 1-3 but how about accessibility. Are you tying your Realtor's hands by only allowing showings at certain times or only by appointment with your Realtor. You only need one buyer and we never know which one it will be but we do not most likely it will not be the buyer that can not get in to see your home. Sure they can come back another day but what usually happens is they move on to another subdivision, city or town.

The best showing instructions in today's real estate market is for a courtesy call to the home owner on one or two phone numbers letting them know a showing has been scheduled, usually a 1 hour window. Electronic lock box on the door. For seller that are at home when the doorbell rings have all the lights turned on lite music on LOW and step out and let the Realtor show the home to the buyers. Buyers will not feel comfortable looking through your home if you are there and they can not imagine this to be there home if the home owner is standing right next to them.

5. Work every offer Don't brush away your early offers thinking more are right around the corner. Some of your first offers are your best. After a buyer looks through homes in an area and nothing interests them they will wait for new listings to come on the market. These can be some of the best buyers. They know what they are looking for and have already looked at homes for sale. Work every offer to the end and ALWAYS leave the door open for buyers to come back.

To find Your List Price in the Orlando, Dr. Phillips and Windermere communities let Century 21 Home to TEAMCONNECT and Eight Realtors be one of your three appointments you make with a real estate company.

Windermere real estate is primed and ready

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:33:05 -0600

For the home buyer looking for tree covered streets and lots larger then your cookie cutter subdivision Windermere communities should be one of your first stops. A couple of years ago you needed at least $500,000 to get into one of Windermere's sought after communities but with the decline in home prices the past two years Windermere real estate is ripe for the picking.

A place that's known as "The Town Among the Lakes" Windermere has the look and feel of yesteryears and could be a canvas for a Norman Rockwell painting. A person could miss down town Winderemere if they blink. The brick paved roads under moss covered trees and steady paced traffic makes a person slow down from a busy day.

Dr. Phillips High School Magnet Programs...

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 07:09:42 -0600

Dr. Phillips High School is an "A" School, located in the Dr. Phillips area. DPHS is know for their four very popular Magnet Programs.

1. Business Academy (BA)

The Business Academy is for students interested in enrolling in the College of Business at a university, majoring in some area of business in a community college, wanting to start their own business, or looking for job entry skills. The academy is designed to provide academic and technical training through a team of teachers working cooperatively to integrate and make the curriculum relevant to today's workplace. Students may enter the academy at any level including 9^th grade.

2. Medical Academy (MA)

The Medical Academy is designed to prepare motivated students for a future in the dramatically expanding area of medicine and health care related fields. The purpose is to allow students the opportunity to examine various medical professions and acquire a foundation of knowledge necessary for all medical personnel. The Medical Academy was developed for students planning to attend a four-year university, a community college, or a technical center majoring in a medically related career. The Medical Academy has a group of teachers working together as a team to provide quality academic and health related instruction.

3. Visual and Performing Arts (VPA)

The goal of the Visual and Performing Arts Magnet (VPA) is to provide a structured curriculum enhanced with both academic and career related opportunities. Students look forward to mastering the skills in their chosen arts area after selecting a course of study in one of five strands: art, dance, and music, theatre, or TV production. Courses are taught by an outstanding staff who supplements instruction with nationally known guest artists and local specialists, artists, choreographers, potters, dancers, casting agents, directors, and many others. Teachers seek the most current speakers and field trip opportunities to allow students a practical look at today's ever-growing world of arts and entertainment. Because of increased graduation requirements, some students may need to complete courses in summer school or through Virtual School. The academic design is meant to allow students maximum opportunities for scholarships, auditions and internship in their areas of interest.

4. Center for International Studies (CIS)

The Center for International Studies was developed by Orange County Public Schools to provide students with an awareness of global issues, to help them attain the cultural and multilingual abilities necessary to meet the challenges of the 21^st Century and to provide an interesting, challenging college preparatory program. This four-year magnet program coordinates various academic disciplines including foreign languages, social studies, humanities, the arts, and language arts. Each course is designed to emphasize the development of critical thinking, analysis and research skills. In addition to the specialized curriculum, education is enhanced through many stimulating activities, guest speakers, hosting international students and participation in study-travel programs abroad. This is an accelerated Advanced Placement program that encourages high standards and provides a basis for study at universities here and abroad. All CIS students must have applied to and been accepted by the School Choice Office during their 8th or 9th grade year.

Buyers are looking through homes in Central Florida's real estate market. TeamConnect work's in the Dr Phillips, Windermere, Orlando and Winter Garden communities and we have seen a drop in activity once school started but no where near last years decline at the same time going into the 4th quarter.

Just this past week there was a buyer that lost out on a home because of multiple offers and this morning I received a call from an agent that lost on a home in Windermere because of another offer coming in higher. Don't get me wrong its still a very strong buyers market but to the surprise of many buyers just starting out the homes priced attractive are going pending. No great big strides getting out of this housing crunch but more small subtle signs of recovery. The housing market came crashing down and will go up at a much slower pace.

Time to get your Dr Phillips Orlando home ready for sale

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 09:57:07 -0600

If you are thinking of selling in the near future spending time up front will help immensely in the long run. First off, remember your home is a marketable commodity. As a seller your number one goal is to get other buyers to see your home as their next home, not yours. Simple repairs, depersonalize and landscaping can really give your home a heads up from the competition, many of which have been on the market over a year.

Realtors feel that it is easier to sell a home that has been "depersonalized". A depersonalized home will attract a larger percentage of buyers that can see them self living in the home, it's a numbers game. Take down family photos, knick-knacks, and clutter and start packing all unused items into neatly placed boxes, remember you're moving. This is a great time to think about your favorite charity and donate many of the things you end up seeing only when you do move.

Simple repairs help your home show better and sell faster. Concentrate on little fixes that make a big difference. Replace old caulk in the kitchen and bathrooms, get carpets cleaned or replaced, and touch up paint or repaint if necessary, it's cheap and gets you the best return. You may be able to find a company to purchase new carpet from that will allow you to pay 6 months later or when you sell. Don't forget about loose door knobs and get all doors and closets in working order, buyers will open them.

Be creative and make the rooms look as large and useful as possible. Use brighter light bulbs and open curtains to make rooms look bigger. Get rid of pet odors, we all know we can get used to pet odor if we live in the home so ask a friend to help out, to be honest and let you know if you need to do more. Don't forget about the landscaping, curb appeal is very important. Give your lawn the best cut it has ever had, trim trees and hedges, and be on the look out for sales on mulch and buy enough bags to give your yard and entry way that finished touch. Realtors spend a couple of minutes getting the door key from the lock box and buyers have a few minutes there, impress them with your neatness and uncluttered walkway.

Inventory levels are still at record highs so get a jump start on your competition and make your home show like a model. Buyers are picky these days and want the whole package; price, location and a home in great condition. We live one way but sell another, feel free to contact CENTURY 21 Elite Properties' TeamConnect for more information.

Short sales leave buyers, well...short

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 05:04:13 -0500

This site will go more into detail explaining short sales. In short (sorry for the pun) a "short sale" is when the seller owes more for the home then the value plus any cost associated with selling. The third party approval the seller needs is the lender. The lender has to approve of course receiving less money back then the seller owes. You may wonder why the bank would take less money than is due, it's because if a bank goes through foreclosure the cost of the foreclosure will be added on top of the banks cost.

Many buyers looking for Orlando homes for sale start out looking at "short sales" for that deal of a century. Not uncommon though frustration sets in when buyers spend a lot of time and energy putting in offers and not hearing back and watching banks take other offers. One of the strategies agents take in short sales is to list the home under what a bank may accept, understanding no one knows for sure what that number is. What this strategy does is gets more buyers looking at the home and therefore more offers an agent summits for approval. The bank then waits for the best offer which many times can be over the list price. Don't get me wrong there are deals to be made in short sales but you need to be patient and also a little realistic of the value of a home. The bank of course is trying to get as much as they can for the home and are not willing to just give it away and would rather wait it out.

Really, some of the better deals can be BANK OWNED. Here there is no seller or I should say not your typical seller, the bank now owns the home. They tend to get back usually within 48 to 72 hours of an offer compared to 7 to 10 weeks for short sales. Other great deals can be found with your everyday motivated sellers and don't forget inventory homes by the builder (which are homes that are already built). I always recommend talking to an attorney with any real estate transaction.

Golf gated Stoneybrook West in Winter Garden

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 07:10:30 -0500

A few years ago homes in the gated Stoneybrook West golf community were in high demand because of its location. Today with the housing market upside down and home values still trying to find the bottom a buyer can get a great deal here. I remember in 2004 you could not find the Grand Brighton model which has over 4,000 sq. feet of living space and if you did you were looking in the $600,000 range. Today you can get one of these homes with an open floor plan and a 3 car garage in the $300,000 range depending on its location in the community.

Stoneybrook West features an Arthur Hill designed 18 hole, par 72 golf course, fully stocked pro shop, restaurant and bar, outdoor roller-skating rink, basketball courts, tennis courts, club house with fitness room and craft room, party rooms, community pool, shallow water pool for the little ones, tot park and is lake front to Black Lake with a boat ramp, dock and fishing pier. All of this plus cable is included in the low HOA Fees of only $433.00 per quarter.

Central Florida's Relocation Experts

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:19:32 -0500

CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT
Cental Florida's Relocation Experts!

Central Florida's real estate market is primed for the picking with home prices declining the past few years. It was just a couple of years ago in the strong sellers market we would be calling on the way to homes we were showing that day just to make sure they were still on the market. Add to that the difficulty finding homes centrally located in the desirable areas like Dr Phillips, Windermere and Orlando, how things change.

Today and going into the next couple of months buyers relocating to the Orlando real estate market have a huge advantage over sellers. With the financial market in disarray a pre approved buyer can get a great deal in areas that where in high demand before the market down turn. The areas to come back first are areas and communities that were sought after before the strong buyers market.

Relocating to Central Florida or anywhere else for that matter from another state can be very nerve racking. All I have to do is go back to when I made the move years back. Being in the real estate business definitely helped but not knowing the areas, schools and prices put me in my buyers shoes.

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:42:37 -0500

Dr Phillips real estate is a highly desirable area of Orlando Florida even in this housing down turn, there currently are 69 homes under contract. Home values are still declining with so much inventory on the market but buyers are seeing value return. The problem is most of them need to sell in order to purchase. This past year if I had a dollar (inflation) for every listing appointment I went on and the reason for selling was to be a buyer in this market I would, well have a couple hundred dollars.

Home values have come down, now there needs to be a loosening of money (not give it away like in the past, if you can not afford to purchase a home you can not get a home) by banks tight lending practices. This will help buyerswho can afford purchase and get the real estate machine workng again getting sellers out of their homes and turning them into buyers.

The 4th quarter will again be a slow couple of months for home sales similar to last year but the end of January 2009 will start our spring market and again like last year we will see buyers coming out and homes going pending. By no means will be out of the woods for another couple of years, we came crashing down but going up will be small gradual healthy increases that will build the real estate market on a solid foundation.

Foreclosure Bill...What's it all about

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 10:53:36 -0500

This past Saturday the Senate overwhelmingly passed a bi-partisan housing Bill that will offer FHA financing in new loans for troubled homeowners that can not make their current mortgage payments. This legislation is the largest government involvement in the housing market in decades and is aimed at curbing the foreclosures keeping homeowners in their primary residence and also an emergency rescue plan for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that will be taking on a larger roll.

Here are some of the major points of the 700 page Bill that authorizes the FHA to insure up to $300 billion in loans and will take effect in October with the White House saying President Bush will approve it:

What homeowners could benefit:

-Must be primary home
-For loans taken out January 2005 through June 2007
-Current Mortgage 31% or higher of monthly income
-Proof you cannot make payments
-Current Lender must approve (not Lender mandatory) and pay 3% fee
-New FHA loan will be the current appraised value minus 10%
-Homeowner will pay a 1.5% of new mortgage amount, annually

Other details of the bill:
-Permanently increase "conforming loan" limits from a maximum of $417,000 to
new $625,500.
-Establish a stronger regulator for the Government Sponsored Establishments
-First time home buyer tax refund of 10% of purchase price, limit $7,500 paid back
within 15 years.
-$4 billion to states to buy up and rehabilitate foreclosed properties

Because of the new role of Freddie and Fannie Mae and added responsibility the housing bill now includes provisions that let Treasury over the next 18 months offer Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac an unlimited line of credit and the authority to buy stock in the companies.

Update: July 30th President Bush signed the Bill into law today.

I heard it "Back to school sales

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 09:29:43 -0500

Once the first advertisement for back to school sales goes out I know we are rounding the final turn and sprinting toward the finish line. It has nothing to do with going back to school or even school sales at the local Target but more with selling your home and putting it on the market now or waiting till next year depending on your situation.

Back to school in Orange county is August 23rd (if my nephew is correct) so there are 4 weeks of summer real estate and buyers before a slow down. Typically the start of school signals the end of the summer real estate market, something Central Florida is just getting use to, unlike a few years ago when the market never stopped.

I don't have to go farther then my own family and five sisters with my nieces and nephews and how a good week before the bell they are getting the kids ready with supplies, clothes, books, schedules and on stricter bed times (I always wish them luck on the last one). In other words no time to be looking at homes, selling homes or even thinking about moving. Typically when is the best time to put your home on the market...

Winter January, for some reason right after the Super bowl buyers start looking.
Spring March, early bird gets the worm, less competition. Most sellers are waiting till school is out.
Summer May through July, the majority of buyers are out looking to purchase.
Fall middle of September, a llittle push right before the holidays.

Feds surround Freddie & Fannie

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:29:42 -0500

The Federal government and the Treasury department teamed up Sunday putting together the final touches of a financial plan giving mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae some financial security. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson is pushing Congress to approve the plan that will keep the mortgage giants solvent, Fannie & Fredie control nearly fifty percent of mortgages nationwide.

Part of the plan is to raise Fannie and Freddie's $2.25 billion current line of credit each lender has and also strengthen the companies financial by buying shares. The Fed also offered to let the agencies borrow at the rate it charges banks. Congress will be holding hearing the next few weeks to look at this latest plan by the Feds and also the Foreclosure bill that has been going back and forth this past year that also involves Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac taking a larger roll helping homeowners on the brink of foreclosure.

Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius wrote to clients "Ultimately, we do not view these (government) measures, dramatic as they look, as either a turning point for the U.S. housing market or as a sign that the downturn will be much worse than previously believed."

By no way is Freddie and Fannie out of the woods but the government is showing through this housing and economic downturn there is no way we are letting them fail, we will see. .

Selling in today's real estate market?

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 07:59:32 -0500

Thinking of selling your Central Florida home this year, if so then now is the time to get it on the market. You have about two months of relatively good summer activity before school starts and the market typically slows down. Choosing a Real Estate team should be your first most important decision and can be the difference selling or not. Interview a minimum of 2 - 3 full time agents with experience and local knowledge in your community. Hire an agent or even better a team that you feel will get your home maximum exposure. DO NOT hire solely on what price they say you should list at (unless they're buying your home).

What to look for in Marketing Plans. I have been in the real estate business for years and have seen hundreds of different Marketing Plans by agents, some good ideas I liked and implemented on TEAMCONNECT's Gold Marketing Plan and many ideas I did not see any value in what so ever. Like any profession it takes years of experience to be at the top of your game and the real estate business is no different. A few of the standard Marketing pieces you should be getting from a Realtor. . .

Mid Florida MLS - If you are not in the MLS you are missing thousands of potential buyers

Realtor.com -        An enhanced version (not to be confused with the standard version) gives your home
                                 more exposure on one of the largest real estate web site with 16 photos virtual tours and
                                 all the bells and whistles showing off your home. Enhanced!

Internet -                Buyers are seeing the value again and that includes United Kingdom and
                                 Canadian buyers. Realtor.com also has a great international web site, A MUST!

Print adversing - For the local buyers. Print advertising is not as prevelent as it once was but
                                 still needs to be included in the Marketing of your home.

Internet sites -      86% of buyers start their search on the Internet your home needs to be on the search
                                 engines and ranked.

Virtual tours -        Lots of photos, Virtual tours, scroll text, buyers want photos and details, we give it to
                                 them.

Looking for 3,000 to 4,000 square foot home in Dr Phillips or Windermere!

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 05:17:43 -0500

Many times and it can happen in any market there can be a short supply in a specific criteria that is in high demand. Even in this strong buyers market with high inventory levels there's a lack of homes in a specific criteria in Dr Phillips and Windermere communities. It doesn't mean there are no homes on the market in this range but many are not priced correctly or show as well as they can. What we are looking for.

Dr Phillips and Windermere areas
3000 - 4000 sq feet
Pool
4-5 Bedrooms plus bonus room
3 plus baths
3 car garage
nice lot, ie large or med size yard, not backing to busy roads
built 1990 plus
Home well maintained, it does not need to be upgraded throughout

If you have a home in this criteria and are thinking of selling in the next 6 months call TEAMCONNECT 407-516-1000 or email us at Team@MyTeamConnect.com .

Buyers are picky these days and want a well priced home that looks and feels perfect to them. For sellers this should not mean giving your home away it's about pricing it in today's market, it can be done. If not you will not get the number of showings you need to get an offer that is benifical in regards to terms and purchase price.

I do meet sellers that ask what would happen if they listed their home higher then what we come in at with our market analysis. The seller is the one that decides what to list their home at but we do go into the benifits of starting out with the correct list price gives them a better chance of selling. When a home first comes on the market it's like a honeymoon period. New on the market showing 1 day on the listng sheet not 849 days (yes there are homes with this many days on the market) The first 3 weeks is the highest activity you will get through out the listing so make your home and your list price attractive.

Dr Phillips's established neighborhoods rebounding

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 19:58:35 -0500

Many people know about Dr Phillips communities such as Vizcaya, Cypress Point and of course Bay Hill but a few of the more established neighborhoods are seeing some nice activity this past spring and our team sees this continuing into summer.

High inventory levels leave Buyers with many options for purchasing a home and many are taking this opportunity to own on a larger lot. Builders had more land to work in the 1990's compared to the new construction boom of the 2000's with smaller lot sizes. Homes in these established communities have unique elevations and in many cases more living space for less. The mature landscaping, tree covered streets and beautiful curb appeal also add to the attractiveness.

Bristol Park, Brentwood Club, Torey Pines, Sand Lake Point and Bay Vista Estates are a few of these neighborhoods in Dr Phillips that offer many of these options buyers are looking for in todays market.
Of course looking through these homes you will find some in need of upgrades but negotiating a great sales price in this buyers market and leaving some money left for upgrades we can help to get you in a beautiful home in a great location.

TeamConnect consists of eight Realtors that show properties to many buyers throughout the week and we also preview homes we have not been through yet just to keep up with the market and then create our own "Dr Phillips Top Ten" list which we keep in the office. If you are interested in purchasing in Dr Phillips give us a call today at 407-516-1000 and we will be more then happy to show you our "top homes" or the ones you had in mind.

What's a great deal in Central Florida's real estate market?

Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate (CENTURY 21 TEAMCONNECT) — Wed, 21 May 2008 12:52:06 -0500

Home buyers are looking for a great deal in Central Florida and the Dr Phillips communities which they should. The real estate market is still a strong buyers market with very high inventory levels. We hear it on the news almost daily the head lines "IT'S A BUYERS MARKET" has been going on for the past few years, but what is a great deal and more important what's not? Today's home prices are all over the board, short sales, pre-foreclosures, bank owned, resales and don't forget the builder and their inventory of homes. Prices have been declining the past few years but some markets are starting to bottom out, the Dr Phillips and Windermere areas are a few of these markets. The areas to come back first are the areas that were highly sought out before a housing down turn.

First off consumers should treat the list price as a ball park number, look at it with a skeptical eye because we don't know how they came about their price. Go out and look at areas and subdivisions, location is the first thing a buyer should be looking at. Of course location is different for different people but it's important to find the areas that have the best chance of increases of appreciation that fit your personal criteria. If you are thinking of the Dr Phillips area visit Dr Phillips subdivisons to see the latest homes available on the market. This site is updated daily and feeds straight from the "Realtor only" Mid Florida Regional MLS and it's free or go to www.MyTeamConnect.com where you can search all the Central Florida communities updated from the same site.

Once a buyer decides on a couple of Central Florida communities and favorite homes that meet their criteria the next step is finding out where the homes are priced. Surprisingly I found this step missed and offers are based on what the home is listed at. Having shown thousands of buyers over the years I notice they concentrate on that list price to much. TeamConnect does a market analysis of homes our buyers are interested in so that they know what a great deal is and when they could be over paying. There are some sellers that need so much to break even or want a specific amount of money after everything is said and done but really the market is what determines home values. On the other side I have talked to buyers that have a set percentage they are looking for the seller to come down before they even look at homes. TeamConnect makes sure and takes steps to help our buyers interpret information to make informed decisions and maybe that's skipping a home all together. Some of the better deals you can find are bank owned properties, builder inventory homes and of course the motivated seller, all can be found on www.MyTeamConnect "Your Central Florida Link to Real Estate".
