buy a home in orlando: Central Florida Homes and the Real Estate Market: Do You Have "THE SKINNY"? - 02/23/10 03:05 AM
The Orlando Regional REALTOR Association/ORRA has the newest/February edition of "The Skinny."  The Skinny is a quick, fairly comprehensive overview of EVERYTHING real-estate-related for the previous month.  Check out the median home sales price for January, $103,000, according to The Skinny, which to my estimation is definitely brought down by extremely low sales prices.  If you took out bank-owned and short sale properties (impossible--but if you did), the median home sales price would be about $169,000 for January 2010.   
The Skinny is a well-put-together couple-minute video about current market conditions in the Orlando area.  Click below to enjoy this month's "The Skinny" from … (0 comments)

buy a home in orlando: Viewing Vacant Bank-Owned Homes-Short List of 5 Viewing Surprises - 10/17/08 10:28 PM
Today, a Buyer and I were viewing homes and most of them were bank-owned and vacant.  Bank-owned (R.E.O.-Real Estate Owned) properties are fine and sometimes they're even exceptional deals.  But you really never know what you're going to get, though, when you finally get there to take a look. 

1.  Getting the Property on "The List" of Homes to be Shown to a Buyer.  This can be the easiest or the hardest thing to accomplish.  First, the home must be priced very well for Buyers to take notice of it, especially with the large number of bank-owned properties for sale in our Central … (10 comments)

buy a home in orlando: Home Inspection-A Look at a Home Inspector Service Provider-Vendor Spotlight - 09/20/08 08:52 AM
Central Florida Home Inspections, Inc.  --  VENDOR SPOTLIGHT
I've not heard of them/him/C.F.H.I. before but that's the company name I was given when I was told that the home inspector was Terry Hounshell (cool name!, huh?) and that the inspection on my listing would be today in the morning. 
There are a lot of inspectors in Central Florida, some better than others.  While I had never heard of Terry or his company before, I found that he was prompt (he showed up even before I arrived), courteous, and did a heck of a job.  I discovered that he holds a home-inspection designation … (5 comments)

Well, as you may know, I specialize in working with customers who are buying or selling homes in the Orlando area; specifically Orange and Seminole Counties.  While I focus on those areas, I can help with other areas, too, but I wanted to focus today on a little-known part of the Orlando area called the City of Orlando.  You can tell you are in the City of Orlando by looking at the street signs.  If there is a blue water fountain on the street name sign, then you are there!  (Otherwise, you probably are within Orange County; as shown by the orange-named … (0 comments)
