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!

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...

• 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

The saying "build it and they will come" couldn't be more true for Meritage Homes new community Parkside.  Dr Phillips is prime real estate featuring award winning schools and with neighbors like Windermere and Disney this little niche market of Southwest Orlando has always attracted its share of buyers, but something was always missing.  New construction but not any longer!

Top 5 Dr Phillips Communities showing Value

Dr Phillips real estate has made a case this past year making a strong market rebound and has stopped the declining home values that its seen the past 6 years. Basic economics is gradual decrease in price until value returns and that's exactly what has happened in this sought after Orlando market.

Here are 5 communities in Dr Phillips that are showing the best value in today's real estate market that every buyer should take a hard look at. The criteria used was list price compared to recent sold homes, overall curb appeal and desirably of floor plans, upgrades and location.

# 5 Dr Phillips Bristol Park -

An established neighborhood that offers residents a peaceful place to live, winding roads, towering trees and walking distance to Award winning Bay Meadows Elementary school. Bristol Park is surrounded by Multi-Million dollar homes which only helps values now and in the future. 
During the recent real estate crash Bristol Park saw drastic declines in value like pretty much every other community in the US but the number of homes on the market at any one time has always been few and far between.

# 4 Dr Phillips New Parkside community -

Normally new homes are not the best deals available but with Dr Phillips being more of an established community new homes here are a welcome and hot commodity.  Formally called Kerina at Parkside, Parkside will be located off of Apopka Vineland Road and Buena Vista Woods.  Built by Meritage Homes, Parkside will featured Mediteranean style homes with Tile Roofs and brick paver drives.  For a new home in Dr Phillips under $500,000 Parkside gets ranked number 4!

# 3 Bay Vista Estates -

Home buyers searching larger lot sizes in Dr Phillips and staying in the $300.000's may be pleasantly surprised with what Bay Visa Estates has to offer. While most home sites are between the quarter to half range, in a sought after community like Dr Phillips that's not bad in the 300k price range.  Tall trees and winding roads make up this park like setting community and located right off Apopka Vineland everything is within a 5 mile range.  Homes are on the older side built in the late 1980's but for the opportunity to find a remodeled/upgraded home it's well worth the search.

# 2 Reserve at Cypress Point

With only 4 homes sold the past 12 months the Reserve at Cypress Point is a quiet little niche community located in Dr Phillips.  A private gated community or I should say two private gated communities that form the front access to Cypress Point and Million dollar lake front properties.  Reserve at Cypress Point are custom/semi custom homes featuring 3,000 plus square feet averaging more in the 4,000 range and prices starting in the high 500's to $800,000's.  Built in the early 2000's Reserve at Cypress Point homes feature open floor plans and volume ceilings. 

And for our Top Ranked community in Dr Phillips and past winner we would like to present...
