After a slight dip in August, September was one of the best months for sales in all of 2009.  Buyer demand continues to mount for the $8,000 tax credit.  You have to close by 11/30/09 so if you plan on buyng something and obtaining financing you need to get your offers in this week.  Otherwise you might miss the deadline. Remember that the end of November contains a bunch of days off for the long Thanksgiving weekend.

1.  191 Villa Di Este Terrace, Lake Mary, FL 32746.  This was a beautiful 2/2 with garage in the Notting Hill condo complex near Heathrow.  This bank owned REO condo sold with multiple offers and ended up selling for significantly over the asking price.  Still a bargain at just $65,000.  It sold for well over 200K at the height of the boom before the foreclosure.

2.  5209 Vatican Avenue, Orlando, FL 32810.  Another great short sale bargain.  This was a 3/1 block home in the Lockhart area of Northwest Orlando.  Great condition.  Sold for just $37,500.

3.  921 Jasmine Street, Kissimmee, FL 34747. Great deal in Celebration Florida.  This one had a 1st and 2nd mortgage but after some tough negotiations we were able to get this short sale closed.  What a greal deal at $449,000.

4.  1732 Winged Elm Place, Winter Garden, FL 34787. Bank owned REO.  Nice 4/3/3 in newer area on the west side of town.  At the height of the market it sold for $340K. This sold for a great deal of just $170,000 in September.

5.  616 Yucatan Drive, Orlando, FL 32807.  3/1 block home.  Handyman special, bank owned foreclosure deal. What a steal.  Sold for just $30,000.  You think you can make that bring a positive cash flow?
