About Orlando's Avalon Park

Sometimes the world of real estate can be confusing for buyers. Sometimes there are so many options it's difficult to understand who to call, when to call them and why. Sometimes you're driving down the street in Avalon Park or Windermere or your desired location and low and behold is the "perfect home" for you. Your agent has stressed to you that if you have ANY real estate questions at all that you call her. She has stressed that if you call another agent that you may lose your representation. The hard part is you heard through the grapevine that your agent is taking a day off and you hate to bother her. YIKES!!!! Don't dial the number on that sign. If you can't make your fingers not dial it.....first words you say need to be: "I'm working with a real estate agent". If you don't say those magic words and let the agent who answers the phone know that right up front, you can lose your representation by the agent that has been working on helping you find the perfect home for months on end. Even if your agent is on vacation in Guatemala she wants you to call her. If she can't get the information you need immediately, she will get it to you asap, via whatever method she needs to and you will remain represented throughout the entire process.

Why say you??? Three good reasons to use my advice:

1. Working with your own buyers agent will help you find, offer and negotiate the price on the best homes for you in your price range and location of choice.
2. Working with your own buyers agent will avoid confusion and competition between multiple agents whom you may or may not want to represent you. Even in areas where dual agency is allowed it is difficult to have a relationship that remains transparent with the seller and buyer for the same property.
3. Working with your own buyers agent will save you time and help you focus on that perfect home, community, school district that is the dream you have been having since you began your home search (with your buyers agents help, direction and expertise) based on all of the information you've shared with her since you began your search.

Maybe you’ve never heard the term ‘Short Sale’ before. Or maybe you have, but don’t know what a Short Sale is or how it can help you get out from under the prospect of foreclosure.

A Short Sale occurs when your bank lets you sell your house for less than you owe on your loan.

It’s true. Banks will actually let you sell your house for less than you owe on your loan. They only do this if you have a legitimate reason for not being able to keep up with mortgage payments AND your house has dropped in value.

Your bank doesn’t really want to foreclose on your house. So if you give them a good enough reason not to ... guess what ... they won’t!

The breakdown of the 215 homes available, are made up of 31 bank owned and 124 short sales in Avalon Park. The remaining properties of the 215 are traditional sales.

Of the 287 Pending (PNC) contracts in Avalon Park, below is the number of properties that had contracts submitted on them for the given months. This was done to demonstrate the number of days it takes to approve / close a short sale or REO property. Of course some that fall within the less than 30 days old and a very few that are 30 to 60 days old may be a typical sale, but from these numbers you can bet that some if not many will not achieve the first time buyer credit because they will fail to close before the 6/30/2010 deadline.
Under contract: Less than 30 days old 84 May Contracts
Under contract: 30 to 60 days old 100 April Contracts
Under contract: 60 to 90 days old 38 March Contracts
Under contract: 90 to 120 days old 20 February Contracts
Under contract: 120 days plus 44 Before January 31 Contracts

Here is the list of what sold in Avalon Park for the Month of May 2010. These numbers only pertain to Avalon Park Real Estate

It is no secret the sales prices are all over the place, and trying to determine a good value has so many variables, that each property should be based on an individual valuation, rather than an average as a whole. Short sales are still selling, but the time to close the transaction on average still is high.
