Stranded in Lake Wales, Florida. I helped a client of mine to sell her mobile home in Baltimore County just a couple of years ago so that she could relocate to Lake Wales, Florida. It was a quick and easy sale. After a couple of years in Florida, she is ready to return to the land of pleasant living (That's Maryland in case you were wondering.) Having a hurricane blow off half of your roof can do that to you. But after nearly 8 months on the market and after cutting the price in half, she has no offers. She has an okay 2 bedroom and 2 bath 1986 mobile home located just about 20 to 25 miles east of Tampa and just about 20 miles south of Orlando.  I thought that Florida had a hot sellers' market like most of the rest of the country. What's going on in Florida?

You have decided to sell your home. You had a solar system installed on your roof just a few short years ago..   You have been loving the very low to zero electric bills for the time you have had the system.  This should be an easy sell, what buyer wouldn't want next to zero electric bills..Not so fast?  If you bought your solar system outright when you had them installed the chances of you have a problem with the new buyer is probably none.  When you had the system installed did you sign a lease, to lease the system over 20 or 25 years? If you did, this is where you can run into problems with a buyer. If the buyer is obtaining mortgage to buy for home, the monthly lease payment that you are asking the buyer to take over and pay, IT will count in their debt/income ratio, potentially aff...

Here is a Quick look at the Single Family Home Sales for the month of July 2022 compared to July 2021.  For the Davenport Florida Zip Code 33837.. Where is Davenport Florida you ask?   It is located just 8 miles from Disneyworld just off Interstate 4.. The last few years Davenpot has been growing by leaps and bounds... While this is only one zip code out of the 4 that Davenport Florida has. As you can see Closed sales of Single Family homes is down 9% from a year agoall other stats are up.  Yes the market is slowing down a little because of rising interest rates and inflation. If you would like Stats from other zip codes in Central Florida let me know. If you are thinking of selling or buying in the area around Disneyworld contact me for the latest information.

Southern Dunes Golf and Country Club is located in Haines City Fl just off Hwy 27. It is only about 10 miles from Disneyworld. Southern Dunes came into being after a big freeze in 1989 killed off the Citrus Trees that were on this property at that time.  Rather than re plant the trees the owners at the time decided to turn the 350 acres into a golf course and housing development.The 18 hole golf course has 182 sand traps, so if you are not a fan of sand you might want to avoid playing here. The course is always in great condition. The clubhouse is warm and friendly.  There are approximately 802 dwellings in Southern Dunes. Mostly they are Single Family homes with some townhomes and Condos. Single family homes re sell in the range of the High $200's to the mid $500's. Townhomes and Condo...

Highlands Reserve Golf Community is located just off HWY 27 in Davenport Florida. Less than 10 miles from the theme parks at Disneyworld.This community was started in the mid to late 1990's. The golf course is fairly easy to play, not to many sand traps and no water holes. It has generous wide fairways. The greens fees are very reasonable at less than $50 a round.  This course is more for the locals rather than a resort type course that you find in the area.The homes range in price from the high 200's to the mid 500's depending on the size and what condition it is in.  There is a mix of homes that are used as vacation rentals and those that are lived in on a permanent basis.  The monthly HOA dues are low as the community is not gated and has very few amenities to take care of.I have mad...
