Dr Phillips Real Estate Prime for Early Birds

When it comes to investments I typically go back to the Guru of investments Warren Buffet and his philosophy "Buy fear Sell greed".  Don't get me wrong Dr Phillips real estate is not in a fear state but the next best option would be "when people are not shopping a market...BUY!

There are currently 179 Dr Phillips Homes in which only 6 are bank-owned or short sales.  This is a far cry from a few years ago when Doctor Phillips along with most other towns and cities were flooded with distressed properties.  Add to this new mortgages the past 6 years have been at all time low interest rates with 30 year mortgages...Doctor Phillips Orlando, Florida is prime real estate.

A Real DEBATE Has Nothing to do with Elections!

The most important period of a real estate deal is decision time...and knowing if you found the HOME!

Specializing in the Doctor Phillips real estate market the past 16 years it's not uncommon buyers miss out on the perfect home thinking there are many more right around the corner. 

I came to realize many buyers are hunters, starting out with a wide range of criteria and honing it over time into their dream home. But what happens many times is the hunt starts to take priority over finding the perfect home.  That excitement of finding the "Diamond in the rough" fuels the home search fire resulting in missed opportunities.

5 signs you found your Diamond

1.  Location - So important we say it three times, but I'll spare you. Keep in mind location will never change so make sure you have this one down.

2.  Is it affordable - If you are nervous about the payments move on!

3.  Your basic needs are met - Maybe you don't have the theater room but will you be comfortable now and in 3 years.

4.  It stands alone - From all the other homes you looked at this home seems special.

5.  You're in love - When you walk through the home it feels like a million butterflies are having a party in your stomach.  Ok, maybe a little exaggeration but you get the idea.

Start your home search today and prepare yourself for the Debate of a lifetime!

3 Dr. Phillips Communities showing Value

Dr Phillips real estate has its share of sought after communities in Central Florida but you may be surprised which ones are giving buyers the biggest bang for their buck.

Number 3...

Bay Hill

Known for having one of the most popular PGA golf course, there is something about Bay Hill that makes a golfer, or in today's real estate market buyer's,  heart beat a little faster.  The breath taking views of 270 acres of a meticulously manicured golf course along the Butler Chain of Lakes sure doesn't hurt but for buyers it's the great values that are slipping away and an urgency to get one of them. 

After four plus years of declining prices Bay Hill real estate has hit bottom and is showing real value.

Number 2...

Sand Lake Point and Sand Lake Cove 

The Sand Lake communities off Apopka-Vineland and Darlene have that great location buyers are looking for.  Dr Phillips' new park is within walking distance from a paved bike and jogging trail, the two established Sand Lake communities also have lake access to private Sand Lake.  Most homes are attractively priced in the upper 200's but go quickly and into the 400k with many floor plans to choose from.   

Number 1...

Phillips Landing

Gated Phillips Landing has always been tops on buyers wish lists and with 4 plus years of declining prices these homes are being picked up quickly when priced at today's values.  The front communities of Phillips Landing, Bay Harbour and Heritage Bay feature winding tree covered roads, ponds and mature landscaping.  Most homes offer 2600 to over 3000 square feet of living space, tile roofs and pools. 

The Estates section of Phillips Landing is lakefront to Big Sand Lake and some of Central Florida's best custom builders. 



Summer is heating up Winter Garden real estate

We all know how hot the weather can get this time of year but along with the hot Summer Sun something else is heating up as well.  It's no secret there are local real estate markets bouncing back.  Dr Phillips real estate, Windermere, Winter Park and Lake Mary have already stepped over from declining markets to stabilizing ones, and until just recently Winter Garden real estate. 

In 2007 Winter Garden had 447 single family homes that closed, compare this to 395 homes sold so far this year keeping in mind we have over 5 months remaining.  Communities like Stoneybrook West used to have up to 90 active homes at one time for sale, today there are 19, six "short sales", 12 regular sellers and only one bank owned property.  Stoneybrook West is not the only area seeing dramatic drops in available homes, communitiles like Black Lake Park and John's Landing are seeing the same kind of results.

Add the new construction in Winter Garden which until just recently was non exsistant and that alone should point to decline of available homes compared to buyers that want to purchase, believe me builders aren't building unless they know there buyers and money to be made.
