The following are the market sales statistics for Altamonte Springs, Seminole County, Florida for December 2008. Altamonte Springs is made up of the zip codes of 32701 & 32714.

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.

  (click image to enlarge) The following are the market sales statistics for Altamonte Springs, Seminole County, Florida for August 2008.  Altamonte Springs is made up of the zip codes of 32701 & 32714.  For purposes of this analysis we are only splitting the data according to single-family homes vs, condominiums, townhomes and villas.   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.  Additionally, 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...

Altamonte Springs is not the typical beachfront property that one thinks of when looking for real estate opportunities in Florida.  This city is located in Seminole County and is considered a northern suburb of Orlando.  Like any suburban area, the city has several elementary schools, a shopping mall and a variety of natural parks.  It is not a big surprise that the community devotes so much attention to retail- after all a great deal of its population (well over 40,000 people) is young and make a good income.  Hence, you can expect to find many feature attractions, family attractions and shopping centers.       The most famous shopping venue you will find is the Altamonte Springs Mall.  The Altamonte Springs Mall is a 4-anchor indoor shopping mall that includes a wide variety of retail...

About 20 years ago, the City of Altamonte Springs, Florida decided that it was about time that its humble city matured into an important urban area.  Not only would this result in more commercial business, it would also help the city's population to thrive personally and professionally.  Therefore, city management embarked upon a plan to reinvigorate Altamonte Springs.  The potential was clearly already there; the Altamonte Springs was scenically beautiful and also had a prime interstate presence.  This was not only an area that could provide a connecting point to major cities like Daytona, Tampa and Orlando-it was also a city that residents could live in, work in and bring their children to.     In the year 1986 the City of Altamonte Springs began its plan to turn old Altamonte Springs...

Altamonte Springs is primarily known as an up and coming city of big business, thanks to Uptown Altamonte, a center of malls, retails shops and high rise apartment buildings.  Give credit to the city of Altamonte Springs for building this small empire of retail in less than 25 years!  However, just because Altamonte Springs has grown up in its urban outlook doesn't mean that it has abandoned its rural beginnings.  There are several beautiful parks and lake areas worth mentioning.  These will be of high interest to investors hoping to buy real estate in Altamonte Springs.    The first park to consider is Cranes Roost Park.  This lakeside park is 37 acres of scenic beauty, holding one mile of lighted boardwalk, many pavilions and a wide variety of plant life.  In addition to its natural s...

Florida real estate remains very hot; even though not everyone is convinced property from the Sunshine State is a smart buy.  First consider why there is an obvious advantage to Florida real estate in general.  Florida is a very popular state for tourism thanks to cities like Orlando and Tampa.  Much of Florida real estate involves beachfront properties that always sell for high figures.  This is because most vacationers don't want to travel for several miles just to get from their hotel to a nearby beach in the scorching summer-and are willing to pay for convenience.  There are a lot of reasons to run after new Florida real estate! Now consider a couple of disadvantages of buying Florida beachfront real estate.  Properties too close to the ocean face an increased risk of hurricane and ...
