Buy now at last year's price!
The housing market’s traditional spring selling season — which commonly takes place between March and June — has officially started, and buyers ready to purchase should make their move now because the median price of homes in Orlando has dropped back to its 2006 level ($240,000) reports the Orlando Regional Realtor® Association. In addition, interest rates have slipped to 5.83 percent.

Is the Florida real estate market stirring?
Possibly. This past week continued to produced increased activity in my Orlando Central Florida office. My associates have exceeded the numbers posted by the competition over the last several weeks in units and volume of property listed and sold.
This "stir" hopefully will continue to the benefit of buyer. sellers and agents. We can credit our positive results to our diligence in reducing the list value of homes that have stayed on the market, increased prospecting and marketing efforts that include old stand by and fresh innovative ideas and keeping a strong positive attitude. Agents are reducing their home's list price in some cases, weekly. Sellers and buyers are benefiting from several of my agents increasing their web exposure. Increased advertising by the agents, direct mail marketing and working their center of influence haas produced results.
With the associates strong positive effort, the momentum should continue.

Watson Realty Corp. ranked 17th in the nation
RISMEDIA, residential real estate’s largest independent news and information service, has released its 19th Annual Power Broker Report & Survey which identified Watson Realty Corp. as ranking 17th in the nation based on closed transaction sides (16,503) and 27th in the nation based on Sales Volume ($4,192,355,352.) in the year 2006. They were the only real estate company listed within the Top 50 brokerages from the State of Florida.
The report stated, “Like many of the Power Brokers listed in this month’s Annual Power Broker Report & Survey, we have the gift of perspective here at RISMedia,” said RISMedia CEO and Publisher, John Featherston. “Publishing this magazine for 27 years and ranking leading brokerage firms for 19 of those years has provided us with an important vantage point on the market. It allows us to comfortably say that, despite rampant talk of the demise of real estate in 2006, we are still in the midst of a vibrant real estate market, one that continues to present a wealth of opportunity. But, there’s a catch. You have to know where to look.”
“These brokers confronted the reality of the new marketplace and turned it into their competitive advantage,” Featherston said. “While some firms acted on the false hope that the slowdown was just a temporary fluke, Power Brokers with the benefit of perspective took the necessary steps to ensure profitability.”
Said Ed Forman, Watson Realty Corp. REALTORS® President: “We are pleased to once again be ranked among the nation’s top real estate companies in the Power Broker Report & Survey. It is quite an honor and a powerful statement to be ranked as the top Florida real estate company as well as 17th in transactions and 27th in sales volume nationwide! We continue to expand to meet the needs of our customers and are totally committed to providing the very best quality service in the industry. Our associates are driven to exceed their customers’ expectations and our company’s full range of ancillary services allow our customers to have truly a one-stop shopping experience.”
