Like everywhere else in the Greater Orlando area, prices continue to fall in north suburban Winter Springs. Since more than 50% of ‘Houses with Contracts’ are properties in some stage of foreclosure, the downward pressure on sales prices continues as demonstrated by the lower Average Price per Square Foot for pending sales compared to ‘Houses Sold in Last 3 Months’. It’s good to understand 2 things about Price per Square Foot in this context: ‘Houses with Contracts’ (pending sales) doesn’t take into account the actual sold price, since this won’t be public record until the sale is actually closed. Generally, the sold price is approximately 95% of list price. ‘Houses Sold in Last 90 Days’ is a lagging indicator since the contract was put into place another 30-60 days prior to actual sold... 05/19/2009

The statistics shown below indicate how fast ... or s-l-o-w ... houses are selling in your area. If you have to sell your house, you must take into account your community’s Absorption Rate. The concept is easy to understand once you understand the formula. First, you must know how many homes sold over the last year. Then you must determine the Absorption Rate, or average number of homes that have sold on a monthly basis. From the Absorption Rate, you can easily estimate how fast the current inventory of available homes will sell. The larger the current inventory—or ‘active listings’—the longer it will take any one home to sell. If there are twice as many active listings available for sale than the current absorption rate, it will take twice the amount of time, or 2 months, to sell out c... 01/06/2009

  My New Listing went Pending in less than a week - closing in less than 30 days! Yes it is a buyers market but it's also a sellers market if you price it right to begin with.  Sellers call and ask us to do a CMA, ASK OUR OPINION and ASK HOW THEY CAN SELL IT FAST                   BUT They almost never listen.  Well this seller listened and actually chose me to list it with a lower listing price than another agent offered to list it at.

After setting your clocks back last Sunday, are you still waking up an hour early? Tossing and turning until the alarm clock goes off? Nodding off at dinner? Too pooped to pop and falling asleep in front of the TV. Do something about it! To find out more about Daylight Saving Time and why we don’t need to switch our clocks back and forth every spring and fall, go to ‘End Day Light SavingTime’. You’ll also find another proposed system that will compress USA Time Zones to just 2. After you’ve read up on the reasons and rationale for ending Daylight Saving Time, express yourself at the President-Elect’s official Web site. After that, roll over and get some sleep. You’re gonna need it for at least a couple more days! 11/08/2008
