About Orlando's Dr Phillips

Orlando homes for sale are situated a little differently lately, upside down. In summary, a short sale is a situation where you owe the lender more than you can sell your home for. Fortunately, in today's real estate environment lenders have become more lenient in accepting less than the full amount owed to them to avoid the lengthy and costly process of foreclosure.

What this means to you is that your family has options, but you must consult with professionals who are experienced in these type of negotiations. TeamConnect has knowledge of all the short sale procedures and our team has short sale packets ready to go. We are also partnered with a team of attorneys and title agencies who negotiate and close short sales every single day.

Central Florida's real estate market has been heating up this past few months with buyers seeing value and feeling comfortable purchasing homes. Basic economics is gradual decreases in price until value comes back, WECLOME BACK VALUE, we missed you!

This Spring investors both foregin (UK and Canada) and local buyers are purchasing bank owned condominums and single family homes under 150k, many of them cash purchases. It started with the condo market and prices under 50k in April and May and since moved on to single family homes. The past 90 days just in the Hamptons there were 95 sold and pending sales and in Metro West area during the same period 418, a great start going into Summer. I think history will look back on Spring and Summer of 2009 as the bottom of the market.

Bank owned homes and condominiums were and still are hot buys starting out 2009. Priced attractive with quick response times make them good deals, unlike the messy "short sale" process. Searching the MLS for communities that used to be filled with these highly sought after properties are now coming up empty handed or at best one or two over priced properties. Looking back the first quarter of 2009 an investor would of had a field day with minimal competition and the pick of the crop. Today as soon as bank owned properties hit the MLS Realtors are quick to get the information to their buyers and most times are in a multiple offer situation with purchase prices going above list price.

Serious investors many offering cash are now purchasing multiple condominium bulk sales. Typically priced below market value these bulk sale condo units sell at 60 to 70 percent off market value. Yes there is still value and asset managers know the current activity in the Central Florida real estate market.

One community within minutes from down town Orlando and popular restaurant row in Dr. Phillips advertises units at $80,000 to $90,000 per unit but purchasing a mixed number of one and two bedroom condos you can negoticate that price in the $50,000's. Two pools, indoor racket ball, fitness room and lakefront property.

Orlando is not the only place offering bulk sales, St. Pete and the costal community will have bulk sales coming up in the next month. Opportunity is out there for people willing to look.
