            <title>Getting the Best Out of Remodeling</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Years ago, when the housing market was booming, the economy was healthy and the sky was filled with rainbows and flying unicorns, remodeling your home was considered a good investment. You were almost certain to get your money back - and then some - when you decided to sell. Unfortunately, those days are no more.

Though you're no longer guaranteed to earn your money back, remodeling can still pay off if you make wise choices about what you do. Here are a few tips:

            <title>Looking to Rent With Lousy Credit?</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 


It can be found!

With unemployment and foreclosures the highest they've been in decades, many people are watching their credit scores tumble. If you've lost your home and are looking for a new place to rent, this can be a huge worry.

First of all, if you earned your low credit score through a lifetime of bad spending habits, this won't help you. There are certainly things out there to help you get your credit back up but it's going to take a great deal of time and work and landlords will be... ]]> </description>

            <title>The Waverly's Statistics</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 


One of my favorite condo communities in Orlando is The Waverly, a prestigious and impressive high-rise condo community in downtown Orlando, right on Lake Eola. Luxury downtown living really doesn't get much better.

In the last two months, The Waverly has had three condos go on the market with an average listing price of $178,333. These condos are all 2 bedroom, 2 bath homes with an average of 1,178 square feet. At least one of them is a short sale.

Now let's see how The Waverly has done ove... ]]> </description>

            <title>The Real Statistics for Kings Ridge, in Clermont</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 


Since we looked at The Legends in Clermont last time, I figured we'd just hop across US 27 to Kings Ridge, another of Clermont's great golf communities. Like The Legends, Kings Ridge is a community made up of many smaller neighborhoods, but the homes are all comparable with each other.&nbsp;

Over the last 2 months, Kings Ridge has had 16 homes go on the market with an average listing price of $161,502. Most of the homes are 2 bedroom, 2 bath homes with an average size of 1,626 square feet. O... ]]> </description>

            <title>Florida #1 in Mortgage Fraud</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Ok, so it's not always good to be Number One. According to the Mortgage Asset Research Institute, Florida has the highest amount of mortgage fraud in the country with a fraud index of 292. In the index, 100 represents the amount of expected fraud, while 0 means that no fraud has occurred. So 292 means that almost three times the expected amount of fraud has occurred. Ouch.

So what is mortgage fraud? Well, mortgage fraud is simply defined as obtaining a mortgage under false pretenses. As you ca... ]]> </description>

Now let's drift away from Casselberry for a moment in our statistics series and fly over to Clermont to look at a very popular community - The Legends.

Over the last 2 months, The Legends has had 16 homes go on the market with an average listing price of $299,774. Most of the homes are 4 bedroom, 3 bath homes with an average square footage of 2,913. Out of these 16 homes, at least 4 of them are bank-owned or short sale properties. None of these properties have sold yet, though one has a pend... ]]> </description>

            <title>The Biggest Mistakes Homebuyers Make</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
I'm happy to say that there are a lot of new people out there looking to buy a home. With the prices down and the inventory up, so many people are finding the current market to be a great opportunity - especially first-time homebuyers (who have been taking advantage of the tax credit) and retirees (who are finding it affordable to retire to Florida again!).&nbsp;

Our recent economic woes have also lead to a new trend - more cautious buyers. That's a good thing. Making a mistake while buying a ... ]]> </description>

And now we're going to look at the statistics for Lakehurst, a wonderful Casselberry neighborhood on the shores of Lake Howell.

Most of the homes are 4 or 5 bedroom homes, with an average square footage of 3,031 sq. feet. Out of these 9 homes, only one of them seems to be a bank-owned or short sale property. Three of the properties have sold.

The sold homes sold for $295,000, $306,000... ]]> </description>

Most of the homes are 3 or 4 bedroom homes, with an&nbsp;average square footage of 1,795 sq. feet.&nbsp;Out of these 8 homes, at least half of them are bank-owned or short sales.

            <title>A Look at the Statistics of Sausalito, Casselberry</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 


There's a lot of misinformation and speculation out there about the housing market right now. Opinions can vary wildly about where our market is, what it's doing and where it's going. But, as always, the truth is in the real numbers. So starting with this blog I'm going to begin to take a look at some of our local neighborhoods more closely and examine the recent market statistics and see what, if anything, we can determine from the real numbers.
