Dr Phillips Real Estate Prime for Early Birds

2017 Dr Phillips Real Estate Forecast
I came across this article the other day, "Will 2017 be a buyer's or seller's market" and decided to take a hard look at my area of service Dr Phillips real estate.
Before I jump into the Doctor Phillips market, let's look at the four economist talking points.
- Next year will likely remain a seller's market in most markets, but buyers might have their day in 2018 or 2019.
- Future buyers will be "less white and a little younger."
- “While I expect inventory levels to rise in 2017, it will likely remain a seller’s market,” said Matthew Gardner, chief economist at Windermere.
As much as I respect and admire economists prognostications there is one very important variable left out of their evaluations...real estate is about local markets.
Sure a broad stroke of the North America real estate market is interesting but buyers purchase in local markets. So much so that Southwest Orange County Florida that consist of the Dr Phillips, Windermere and Winter Garden communities, all have different real estate trends and forecast.
Further more any projections a couple of years out are just guesstimates, there are to many variables that can, and most likely will, have a huge effect on real estate values to predict.
As of this writing there are 205 single family Dr Phillips homes for sale with an average days on market of 156 days, that's one indication of a trending buyer's market.
Additionally this past year and a half the Dr Phillips real estate market has been receiving growing competition from the New Horizons West area located off the 429 Independence exit in Winter Garden.
In the boom of 2005 it was very difficult getting buyers up the 535 towards Windermere and Winter Garden but that has changed. The Cove at Hamlin, Hamlin Reserves and Overlook at Hamlin located in New Horizons West are very popular among today's buyers and after visiting very difficult to turn back towards Dr Phillips.
Dr Phillips is and always will be a sought after community but there is formidable competition attracting 2017 buyers.

Are These 4 Common Mistakes Putting Your Dream Home at Risk?
If you did it right your dream home search is complete and you're happily making your monthly mortgage payments building up a nice little nest egg.
Smart consumers searching for homes have a plan and stick with it and limit these common mistakes...
Mistake #1
Emotions - Many buyers typically purchase on emotion but it's the one thing they should be running from...Stick with the facts and yes this includes keeping the emotions out of your negotiations!
Emotions are real, acknowledge them but then move past them quickly and concentrate your energy on value. Everything starts with the value of a home, your emotions will only mucky up the waters and cloud your judgement
Mistake #2
Going Solo - There's a reason Realtors must disclose when selling their own home, we have an unfair advantage! Mistake #2 is not about, ok now hire me, this is about the 4 common mistakes purchasing a home and #2 is to hire a LOCAL, EXPERIENCED, REALTOR...

Mistake #2
Going Solo - There's a reason Realtors must disclose when selling their own home, we have an unfair advantage! Mistake #2 is not about, ok now hire me, this is about the 4 common mistakes purchasing a home and #2 is to hire a LOCAL, EXPERIENCED, REALTOR...
- Local - A realtor that closes properties in a particular part of town or neighborhood. Look through recent closed properties for active Realtors
- Experienced - At least 5 years experience in selling real estate. Yes I feel bad for the new agents, but let them practice their craft and hone their skills on family and friends for the first few years.
- Hire a Realtor - Realtors follow the Realtors Code of Ethics where by Realtors share with their fellow REALTORS® a common responsibility for its integrity and honor between each other and more importantly with consumers and clients.
Mistake #3
Making List Price a focal point - Many times to much attention is placed on list price rather than value. List price can be value but most times it's either over or under value.
Once value is determined a buyer can decide what is the best purchase offer strategy and more importantly now knows at what price to stop and walk away!
Mistake #4
Being Too Critical
The focus should be on the basic bones of a home not the minor aesthetic issues that can easily be fixed. Old carpeting can be torn out; baby blue wall color can be repainted. New flooring and paint go a long way changing the appearance of a home. Number 1 return of investment on improving a homes value - PAINT

Real-time Home Search Site for Buyers
When it comes to homes for sale via the intranet are you searching the latest listings to come on the market? Many buyers today are missing out on great deals because they are doing home searches on sites that are not updated with the latest listings.
There is no shortage of websites to search property listings, whether it's one of the three giants, Realtor.com, Trulia or Zillow or one of the little guys in between, buyers are most likely going back to sites they are familiar with but they could be missing out on the most attractive homes for sale. In today's real estate market the good deals go under contract within 24 to 48 hours.
Search engine sites seen on the Internet are called portals and pull listing details and photos from a local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), in Orlando this is My Florida MLS. Portals can add additional information from local tax records but the problems comes in when these portals are not updated immediately, but rather hours (not many are), days or some times a week or more, in today's real estate market the good deals go fast.
Since the majority of all homes in Central Florida are input into the My Florida MLS, Realtors have first hand knowledge of new listings as soon as a selling broker presses the submit button, this is valuable information.
The good news for buyers is you don't have to have a Real Estate license to search real time property details. My Florida MLS recent change to the Matrix system now allows buyers access to their very own private portal that links directly to the MLS, the most accurate system by far and direct access to new listing without the delay that comes from intermediate portal company.
Sign up for you free MLS Portal account today and don't miss out on the next great deal in the Central Florida real estate market!

3 Steps to Tackle the Foreclosure Crisis in America
By Sarah Parr
RealtyTRAC recently reported that the total number of foreclosure-related legal filings increased 3 percent from January to February of this year. Although foreclosure activity is still down 25 percent from a year ago, the reality of distressed homeowners who are struggling to pay their mortgage still exists. One in 842 United States’ housing units faced a foreclosure filing last month.
State governments and loan servicers can relieve homeowners of the worry and anguish the threat of foreclosure causes by providing the following solutions.
Better communication
Contacting a lender or loan servicer can be difficult. Borrowers frequently discuss their mortgage with many different people when they contact their loan provider, leading to mixed-up communication. Often, a homeowner must explain his or her circumstances during every phone call, or important paperwork goes missing. Some homeowners report that they have faxed the same document dozens of times to different people working for the same company. A single point of contact for each borrower would solve the problem of jumbled communication many homeowners face.
Fewer backlogs
With some of the lengthiest processing periods, foreclosure documents in states that handle foreclosures solely judicially push through the courts slowly. Florida foreclosure lawyers file documents that take nearly 29 months to process, compared with the nation’s average of 13 months. This creates a buildup of cases for attorneys and courts and more ambiguity for homeowners. States that handle cases through administrative processes in addition to judicial-foreclosures see shorter processing times for foreclosure-related filings.
Homeowner protection
A few states, such as California, have passed homeowner bill of rights measures to protect homeowners and further regulate the mortgage and housing relief industry. California’s law prohibits a few practices associated with predatory lending: “dual tracking,” which is when a lender continues a foreclosure process even if the borrower is applying for a loan modification, and “robo signing,” a term describing the robotic signing and production of falsified mortgage documents. California’s law also mandates that lenders provide a single person of contact for the borrower, and gives the borrower the power to sue for significant violations of the new laws.
California has seen a 7 percent reduction in foreclosure activity since its bill of rights law went into effect on January 1. If more states passed similar laws, the U.S. could see a steady decline in foreclosures.

Orlando real estate hits a Milestone
It took almost 6 years to the day but Central Florida's inventory of available homes for sale fell below 10,000 listings. This number reflects homes for sale located in Orange, Seminole, Osceola, and Lake counties.
October 2007 was an all time high of 26,330 properties listed. The real estate market is still about supply and demand, available homes for sale compared to ready willing and able buyers. Basic economics is gradual decrease in price until value returns and that's exactly what's been happening.
With less bank owned properties available, Dr Phillips real estate has a reported 5 single family homes and 33 short sales listings on the market and the fact banks are loosening their strings on lending, this great news going forward into the 2012 real estate market.

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