Florida real estate Halloween specials
Treats have taken a back seat to the tricky market that we are “enjoying” in Florida. In hopes that some of the invisible buyers lurking around are interested in spookier sounding streets, I compiled the following list as an offering to them:
4 homes are on the market on a street named Spirit
2 homes are on a street with Dead in the name.
1 home is on a street with Monster in the name.
1 home is on a street with Crying in the name.
2 homes are on streets with Casper in the name. (Casper the friendly ghost)
14 homes are on streets with Cemetery in the name. (5 with Cemetary)
A not so scary street but still appropriate for the month:
4 homes on a street with Pumpkin in the name.
Of course if you are really interested in homes with a “Halloween flavor” you may wish to visit my Cassadaga real estate page. Cassadaga is in Volusia County and is a well known spiritualist center.

Sellers are going the extra mile to help sell their home
Realtors appreciate a seller who keeps a tidy house during the listing period. A home that is staged, clean and appealing will have a better chance of attracting a buyer. With the real estate market the way it is in several areas of the country, every bit helps.
However......
This caused me to tilt my head curiously. Here is the quote:

This caused me to tilt my head curiously. Here is the quote:
"Putting what I deemed as “smelly” trash in a bag in the freezer until trash
pick-up day. (We don’t own a garage, and it seemed like a “logical” place to
contain the smell that’s out of sight of any potential buyers. Yes, further
evidence of my craziness.)"

A record number of home buyers reported in Central Florida
Ok, maybe that should read potential home buyers.
We certainly have not seen a headline, like the title of this blog, describing the Orlando and Central Florida real estate market in some time. Just thinking about a record number of home buyers would make any real estate professional, lender and home seller giggle nervously. And the potential home buyers are here, sorta.
Today's MLS numbers show over 38,000 homes listed for sale in the counties of Lake, Seminole, Orange, Osceola and portions of Volusia county. 38,000 sellers who.... when their home sells......could add to our pool of potential buyers?
Maybe I am being optimistic so let's say, for arguments sake, only half of those sellers who have their home on the market will buy a home when their home sells. That would mean that we have nearly 19,000 potential home buyers right in front of us!
I think that would rejuvenate this very exciting but challenging home market, don't you?
Now that we know where buyers are, how are we going to get them to purchase a new home?
Simple. Offer them a deal they cannot refuse. Imagine if our seller went home shopping, found a home priced correctly, fell in love with the home and made an offer that is accepted. Motivation is now high, correct? So our seller, who just became our buyer, will now want to do whatever it takes within reason to sell their home so they can move to their new dream home!
Reduce their price perhaps?
Once their home has been priced correctly along comes a buyer who falls in love with our seller's home and presto, like a snowball rolling down a hill, we would have ourselves a great real estate market started.
I'm not sure about you but I'm ready to start!
