There are some very good housing bargains in Central Florida and the Orlando-Kissimmee area right now. This is good news for buyers and the news is travelling fast as people from all over the United States and then world are now taking advantage of these extraordinary prices and purchasing homes in Osceola County.
Just how good are these prices? Can you really buy a home in Kissimmee and the surrounding area for $10,000 or less? That is a question we received yesterday. The buyer was sure they had read somewhere that there were many homes for sale right now in Kissimmee priced at 10 grand or below.
Is this true? What do the facts show? I just completed a search of homes in Osceola County priced $10K or less and returned 0 results. Osceola County includes the city of Kissimmee. All is not lost however as I also searched for homes listed in Osceola priced between $10,000 and $100,000 and my search results netted 984 homes! 816 of those were listed as being in Kissimmee.
Maybe not $10,000 but those are still some amazing prices!

7% of Kissimmee listed home inventory are foreclosures
To hear some talk, every home for sale in Kissimmee is either in foreclosure, already foreclosed on or in a short sale. What do the actual numbers show?
I search the Mid-Florida MLS this afternoon looking to see what portion of the total listing inventory for the area fell into one of the categories mentioned above. Here are the results.
As of today the MLS is showing a total of 4,675 homes for sale. Of those homes:
357 homes or 7.6% are listed as being bank owned or already foreclosed on.
342 homes or 7.3% are show as needing 3rd party approval which would indicate a short sale situation. I compared this search to a search where I used the term short sale in the public comments and found 589 homes or 12% listed as subject to a short sale. 161 homes or 3% are listed as being in foreclosure. The in foreclosure, 3rd party approval and short sale descriptions would most likely be overlapping descriptions for the same type of property.

Short sales offer clues to traditional home sellers
Every day it seems a new home or homes are listed in the Kissimmee/Osceola County area, which are subject to a short sale contingency.
Some agents are pulling their hair out over the frustration they feel when trying to get all parties: lenders, sellers, buyers and agents on the same page in order to close these deals. The paperwork and time involved with a short sale, with results and answers often coming no faster than a sleeping snail, have many agents reluctant to get involved with the process.
Regardless of how agents feel about the short sale process, these transactions do offer insight to how the market will eventually become healthy.
Many homes listed with a short sale contingency are receiving something not normally found in today’s real estate. Multiple offers. With so many opinions on how these offers should be handled, we may have lost sight of an important fact, the multiple offer fact.
Why are these homes receiving multiple offers when as an industry we have been lamenting the lack of buyers? What magical lure do these types of homes have over buyers?
Sellers who are not faced with the short sale situation, but unable to attract a buyer to even look at their home, should contact their agent and find out what this magical lure is.
The answer is there.
