Apopka's Proposal for New High School

Apopka is sited for a new High School! This is going to be located in the Piedmont-Wekiva area. This is great news! That area of Central Florida has been booming with new growth and is in much need of a new High School. As a realtor who services this area I am excited to hear this!

2006 Central Florida Real Estate Forecast

Judging from all of the recent Real Estate publications, this year is still going to be a great year for real estate. However, it will not be the VERY HOT market it was in 2005. We have seen a cooling off since late September. We have more inventory than we have had in a long time. Houses are staying on the market for longer periods of time. Buyers may actually have a chance to chose a house they love rather than just grabbing whatever was on the market. This is good news for FULL SERVICE REALTORS. The times of Discount Brokers and For Sale By Owner are not so good. More and more we are seeing the Discount Brokers having the Seller put their house in the Multiple Listing System so that Realtors can show then to their customers. This is good for both the Buyer and Seller. The Seller has more exposure and the Buyer has more choices! This is also a good time for Buyers because they may actually be able to negotiate a purchase price. I love it because I think this will shake out the realtors who were just in it for a fast buck! That's good news for the consumer as well as us serious realtors. PROFESSIONALISM will be back in full force!
