New Deals of the Week 3/3/12

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Complete Florida Realty

MANY deals to talk about this week. Unfortunately there would have been even more, but homes today have been selling sometimes within hours of being put on the market. Prices are definitely rising in these areas with many selling prices being 5-20% above asking prices if underpriced, and even selling for up to 5% over estimated values! The numbers still work out though to buy and hold these homes as rentals while still making a good positive cash flow, but be prepared to move FAST and be competitive! Especially in the $0-200K price range. *Starred* homes are likely to be my favorite deals and/or the ones most likely to sell within a day or two.

 

*12707 Somerset Oaks asking 99k - 02-Res Customer Synopsis

            This townhome located walking distance to the Waterford Lakes Shopping super center has always proven to be a great rental area with nice townhomes for a great price. Not many sales in here recently meaning the listing agent priced it at a 6-12 month ago level, this one is going to sell QUICK. Corner unit, with tile flooring downstairs and granite counters. The house needs an exterminator, good cleaning, carpet replacement, Garage door Repair and light touch up paint to make an A+ rental. Additional pictures Available

 

*9833 Oak Crest asking 125k - 02-Res Customer Synopsis

            Great Single homes at this price simply don’t come up for these prices anymore. Smaller at ~1500 square feet, this lee vista area home backs to conservation, has a private fence, tile flooring, and vaulted ceilings. Only needs carpet in the bedrooms and this house could be rented next week. Highly recommended! Additional pictures Available

 

*248 Winter Nellis asking 120K - 02-Res Customer Synopsis

            In one of my favorite townhome communities in Winter Garden, this larger than normal 2 car garage townhome also backs to a rare conservation lot, and has proven to be an A++ rental area. Only needing minor handyman work and appliances to make rentable, this home has a very high ROI.

 

*9663 Fenrose Terrace asking 135K - 02-Res Customer Synopsis

            One of my Favorite neighborhoods in the Lake Nona area of Northlake Park, this townhome has a great view of the pond and park from it’s front porch. Excellent condition as well with upgraded cabinets, counters, laminate and tile flooring, all with an open floorplan. Additional pictures Available

 

13858 Phoenix asking 147K - 02-Res Customer Synopsis

            SPEEDY! This townhome I thought was Way overpriced, I went out to see today, and was it a great looking home. It was a flip bought only 3 months ago for ~100K as a short sale in need of work, with just cosmetic upgrades done. To my immense surprise, when I got back, I found this home had gone under contract! If this ends up closing close to the asking price it would represent a ~20K increase in current values…..and still would provide a small return while renting. (will be writing more about this seeming trend later)

 

On to some Higher end Deals that provide moderate positive cash flow, and EXCELLENT appreciation potential. In the >200K range homes don’t sell as quick, but still within a few days when priced right.

 

12648 Cragside asking 193K- 02-Res Customer Synopsis

            A great Windermere property that may have some negotiation room in its price.

Negotiate the price a bit and this home will prove to be an amazing return in the short and long term. HIGHLY recommended and additional pictures available.

 

9445 Candice asking 185K- 02-Res Customer Synopsis

                Not my favorite neighborhood in the La Vina neighborhoods but still nice with great location in Lake Nona. In good condition generally with mostly tile downstairs and the carpeting in the home being in good condition, only needing a steam clean. The interior walls however were very individualized and would likely need to be completely repainted a more neutral tone. The home backed to conservation, though there were not many upgrades inside. Additional pictures Available

9738 Lake District asking 199k - 02-Res Customer Synopsis

                Only on the market a day, this short sale already has offers (like all of the other homes likely as well) but the agent will be holding offers open until Sunday at 4pm. This one needed a bit of work, but must cosmetic things. A very good cleaning, new carpet, washer/dryer, ceiling fans, a few walls painted. Other than that the home has potential with laminate wood floors, upgraded cabinets, and back porch. Additional pictures Available

 

9818 Lake District asking 210k - 02-Res Customer Synopsis

                Just on the market today, this pool home looks great with laminate wood flooring, open floor plan, and great shape. Home likely just needs a few rooms re-carpeted, and maybe paint over the faux paint in the kitchen (though may want to leave it). I usually don’t recommend pool homes, but this one has great potential for resale down the road. Additional pictures Available
