Century 21 TEAMCONNECT Dr Phillips real estate

Many people know about Dr Phillips communities such as Vizcaya, Cypress Point and of course Bay Hill but a few of the more established neighborhoods are seeing some nice activity this past spring and our team sees this continuing into summer.

High inventory levels leave Buyers with many options for purchasing a home and many are taking this opportunity to own on a larger lot. Builders had more land to work in the 1990's compared to the new construction boom of the 2000's with smaller lot sizes. Homes in these established communities have unique elevations and in many cases more living space for less. The mature landscaping, tree covered streets and beautiful curb appeal also add to the attractiveness.

Bristol Park, Brentwood Club, Torey Pines, Sand Lake Point and Bay Vista Estates are a few of these neighborhoods in Dr Phillips that offer many of these options buyers are looking for in todays market.
Of course looking through these homes you will find some in need of upgrades but negotiating a great sales price in this buyers market and leaving some money left for upgrades we can help to get you in a beautiful home in a great location.

TeamConnect consists of eight Realtors that show properties to many buyers throughout the week and we also preview homes we have not been through yet just to keep up with the market and then create our own "Dr Phillips Top Ten" list which we keep in the office. If you are interested in purchasing in Dr Phillips give us a call today at 407-516-1000 and we will be more then happy to show you our "top homes" or the ones you had in mind.

Home buyers are looking for a great deal in Central Florida and the Dr Phillips communities which they should. The real estate market is still a strong buyers market with very high inventory levels. We hear it on the news almost daily the head lines "IT'S A BUYERS MARKET" has been going on for the past few years, but what is a great deal and more important what's not? Today's home prices are all over the board, short sales, pre-foreclosures, bank owned, resales and don't forget the builder and their inventory of homes. Prices have been declining the past few years but some markets are starting to bottom out, the Dr Phillips and Windermere areas are a few of these markets. The areas to come back first are the areas that were highly sought out before a housing down turn.

First off consumers should treat the list price as a ball park number, look at it with a skeptical eye because we don't know how they came about their price. Go out and look at areas and subdivisions, location is the first thing a buyer should be looking at. Of course location is different for different people but it's important to find the areas that have the best chance of increases of appreciation that fit your personal criteria. If you are thinking of the Dr Phillips area visit Dr Phillips subdivisons to see the latest homes available on the market. This site is updated daily and feeds straight from the "Realtor only" Mid Florida Regional MLS and it's free or go to www.MyTeamConnect.com where you can search all the Central Florida communities updated from the same site.

Once a buyer decides on a couple of Central Florida communities and favorite homes that meet their criteria the next step is finding out where the homes are priced. Surprisingly I found this step missed and offers are based on what the home is listed at. Having shown thousands of buyers over the years I notice they concentrate on that list price to much. TeamConnect does a market analysis of homes our buyers are interested in so that they know what a great deal is and when they could be over paying. There are some sellers that need so much to break even or want a specific amount of money after everything is said and done but really the market is what determines home values. On the other side I have talked to buyers that have a set percentage they are looking for the seller to come down before they even look at homes. TeamConnect makes sure and takes steps to help our buyers interpret information to make informed decisions and maybe that's skipping a home all together. Some of the better deals you can find are bank owned properties, builder inventory homes and of course the motivated seller, all can be found on www.MyTeamConnect "Your Central Florida Link to Real Estate".

As the real estate market moves into spring we typically see more buyers looking for new homes. Dr. Phillips has experienced a decline in home values over the past few years along with other markets throughout Central Florida and the nation. Now we are witnessing many of the community price points bottom out. Although many see this as a negative we view it as a positive environment as buyers increasingly seek new homes at excellent prices.

The real estate market is based on supply and demand and through that process it always seeks to find a balance or equilibrium. In the past, sellers could overprice their homes and still get showings and receive offers because there were so few homes available for sale. Of course that situation could not be sustained forever. Today the market has shifted from a "Seller's Market" to a "Buyer's Market". Buyers are now able to purchase homes that are priced correctly. Due to the large inventory of homes, some buyers are even able to purchase a home at a price that is generally considered "below market".

The Dr. Phillips communities under zip codes 32836 and 32819 currently have 800 properties listed in the Multiple listing service (MLS). If homeowners are to sell their homes they must successfully compete with other sellers trying to accomplish the same goal. TeamConnect has been living and working in Dr. Phillips for years and will work with you to establish the most competitive price based upon the features and condition of your property.

Kicking into gear the Dr Phillips real estate market is starting to gain back a little leverage absent the past few years.

This spring we are starting to see buyers coming back. Dr Phillips had 69 pending sales and 30 sold the past 30 days.
