FINALLY… SOME GREAT NEWS!  Yes, we’ve finally caved in to your almost endless nagging and are putting together our first Orlando real estate bus tour – a tour that will take you to see some of the best deals in town! As ground zero for so much of the recent real estate fall out, there is no doubt [...]

Multiple Offers are soooo 2006… Well if you think so, take a deep breath because while it might seem ludicrous to make an offer on an Orlando condo – or any other home, if it means competing with another buyer, things have started to change. In the last few weeks, there has been a sharp rise [...]

“Ok, well keep me posted if you see any good deals.” I hear this all the time from would-be buyers on the phone who are stuck in the mud and never quite satisfied with what’s on the table. These folk never buy, because they’re always wating for something better to come along. “Sure,” I say. [...]

As this weekend’s auction winds down (see results above), Condo Metropolis is ramping up for another Orlando condo conversion auction scheduled for later this month at the World Center Marriott Resort. Villa Valencia has 142 condominium units that will be up for auction. For those that don’t know it, the complex is on the east side of town near State [...]

Mirabella residences near Disney are now FHA approved – and they’re one of only a few condo conversion developments in the Orlando to have accomplished this. So what exactly does that mean? Here are a few notes from the FHA’s FAQ page: FHA-insured loans offer many benefits and a level of security that you won’t find [...]

This just in from our friends at CondoDomain: Deal or no deal? Well that all depends on who wins the election. At least for one New York condo buyer, who says if Obama doesn’t win then he doesn’t want the condo. It’s in the contract. You’ve gotta love it. And you can’t blame him. See the original [...]
