Apopka, FL

City of Apopka Proposes a Tax Hike

Marc Grossman, GRI - Greater Orlando Real Estate Broker: Real Estate Agent in Longwood, FL

city of apopka seminole and orange county florida 32703 and 32712The City of Apopka is raising the millage rate, but because of governmentese it is called a rate rollback. The reason they can do this is the municipality can raise the rate so that they can continue receiving the same amount of funds as in the previous year. The current rate is 3.5168 mils and the proposed rate is 4.1115, an almost 17% increase.

According to a city official that I spoke with he stated that we should not pay more since property values have gone down in the past year. This may be so in some instances, but not all.

With everything that has been going on for the past two years and the expected shortfalls, why did the city build an amphitheater? Was this a necessity, other than for more religious concerts? Seriously, have we forgotten about the separation of church and state?

There are 2 more meeting scheduled for September, the next being on the 16th. If you have an issue with this rate hike (oh I'm sorry, rollback) than you need to have your voice heard. Anyway, just my .02.

Till next time...Marc It Sold!

Apopka, Seminole & Orange Counties, FL – Market Sales Statistics for June ‘09

Marc Grossman, GRI - Greater Orlando Real Estate Broker: Real Estate Agent in Longwood, FL

apopka seminole and orange county florida 32703 and 32712 market sales stats june 2009

The following are the market sales statistics for Apopka, Seminole and Orange Counties, Florida for June 2009. Apopka is made up of the zip codes of 32703 & 32712. For purposes of this analysis we are only splitting the data according to single-family homes vs, condominiums, townhomes and villas.

A couple of definitions are in order. The median sales price means that 50% of the homes sold for more and 50% of the homes sold for less during a certain period of time - in other words, it's the midpoint of sale prices. So basically what this means, is that the median sales price is showing market activity in that it's specifically indicating which price range is more active.

The average sales price, as opposed to the median sales price, is the total volume of sold properties divided by the number of properties sold.

The sales to list price ratio is just that, you're dividing the average sales price by the average list price and coming up with a percentage that tells you how much of the list price the average homes sold for.

There needs to be a disclaimer here. These stats are only as good as telling us what it being purchased and happening at a certain period in time. Also, it needs to be fully understood that not only is real estate local, but it is hyper-local. What this means is that the trends that we hear about are overall. Let's put it this way, what's happening in one neighborhood may not be realized in the neighborhood next door.

Additionally, these are only monthly statistics and to get a better scope of what is happening, you need to look at a longer period of time. More high-end homes might be sold in one month as opposed to another. By looking at a longer period, you will get a better overall picture. It is all relative and this has to be understood when utilizing these stats.
