I get asked all the time "Are Homes Really Affordable" in Osceola County, Florida.  The resounding answer is YES!  I am delighted to report that after a quick market survey I found for one customer 484 possible choices for a Winter Retreat all under $250,000.  Upon a closer look of those; there were over 400 possible choices under $200,000.   There was an adequate supply of smaller bungalow style homes even under $100,000!

      What this means is for the first time in YEARS, it is once again possible to purchase a Winter Retreat in Central Florida.  This is particularly true for Osceola County and the charming small town of St. Cloud.  

St. Cloud, Florida has enormous appeal, for those coming from the colder climates. Why?  Simple, it is in the shadow of Disney, the Beaches, Cape Canaveral, and the Attractions without the traffic.  All the benefits, none of the hassles!   In town, you have a large variety of shops and restaurants, FREE  WI-FI and loads of freshly upgraded, renovated Winter Retreats.  

It is possible to have the second home you have always dreamed of having, in a charming small town close to everything for an amount you CAN afford.

Tired of paying condo fees?  Why not consider owning your own home and a lovely yard that belongs to you?

Fourth of July offers free family entertainment. The day begins with a marvelous parade. Spectators are invited to bring lawn chairs and enjoy the mile long parade route under the shade of the magnificent tree lined streets. The Spring fling brings out vintage cars,   booths featuring  local artists, crafts, great foods, and a carnival like atmosphere, with live entertainment and games.

Allison -- "No snow to shovel" -- I envy you!  I woke up to about 8 inches with drifts up to me knees. . .wouldn't you know my day includes a tour with an investor through several forclosures.  No heat, no shoveled walks. . . Are you jealous?!?!?

I never wished for Spring more in my life. Florida sounds like a welcome change to shoveling snow, and below zero temps.
