Well, well, well !!!

Just as I was puttering around and doing my day to
day tasks, I got a phone call from the Middle East.

A lady who currently lives in the Deltona / Sanford area
of central Florida saw a listing our office has advertized
through my central Florida real estate blog in ActiveRain©.

She called me at 11PM (her time) from the middle
east to talk to me about this listing she saw was on my
central Florida real eatate blog.

It turned out to be about 3:30PM Eastern Time when
she called, just several minutes ago.

The lady is on a contract for a company she works for in
the middle east. What is also great is she is ready, willing and ABLE to purchase when she says she is. I am excited that she decided to call ME!

 

I got all of her wants and needs about the type of home
she wants to purchase in central Florida and I will be sending
her matches from the local regional Orlando MLS.

 

 

After being interviewed by a highly ranked financial website,
achieving over 300,000 points in ActiveRain and posting over
500 submittals about central Florida real estate and other
interesting things, NOW other things happening to me because
of ActiveRain©,

 

 

I have said MANY times ~~ ActiveRain© WORKS!!

 

 

AND I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!

I have been tracking the Orlando and central Florida
real estate market all of my real estate career..... that
is 13 years of information my clients can depend on!

From statistics in the marketplace now, the balance bet-
ween buyers and sellers at at almost a balance. Believe
me when I say that balance RARELY stays for long! When
the current market changed into the bearish buyers market
we have had for the last several years, the change happened
in a matter of about 2 weeks! People did not realize it until
it was too late.

People who bought homes in the final months of that awesome
sellers market were left holding onto homes that were WAY
over priced because of the feeding frenzy created by the low
interest rates and the deceptive teaser rates mortgage companies
and loan officers were advertising. When homes stopped appric-
iating, home owners were shocked and were left with large bala-
ncesheets and were upside down in what they owed verses what
their homes were worth.

Home owners take note of these latest statisctics:

• There is just over an 8 month supply of homes for sale
  in the Orlando and central Florida real estate market;
  when the market has 6 months of supply it is considered
  by housing pundits to be balanced between buyers and
  sellers.
• In June, REALTORS® sold over 43% more homes than in
  June of last year, making the area’s year-to-date sales
  an increase of almost 44%. If that is not a rebound, I don't
  know what is!!
  
• 46% of those completed transactions were homes in "Special
  circumstances" ~~ Bank owned, Sold as-is, corporate owned,
  in foreclosure, in pre-foreclosure, or sold as a short sale. That
  HIGH NUMBER is reported in EVERY single market report I do.
  I always point out the DEALS to buyers of central Florida real
  estate, so YOU can SAVE MONEY!
  
• There is more than double the number of homes currently
  awaiting closings (7,230) than in June of last year (3,329).

 

There are currently almost 18,000 residential homes available for purchase through the Orlando Regional MLS. Inventory fell from last month. Compared to last year, the June 2009 inventory level is just over 27% lower than it was in June 2008.

 

Here are links to market reports I have done in the past AND you can search the Orlando Regional MLS for yourself. You can also set up automatic searches and have properties sent to you when homes that fit the criteria you specify come up for sale. ALL this is FREE information to you from me. When you are ready to make an offer on Orlando or central Florida real estate, just contact us and The Knights Team Real Estate Group will take it from there!
