(August 10, 2010 – Orlando, FL) Members of the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association reported completed sales on 2,387 homes in July, which is a 3.83 percent increase over the July 2009 mark of 2,299. To date, Orlando area home sales are up 39.54 percent over this time in 2009.
“Sales closed after the home buyer tax credit are expected to be lower compared to the credit-induced spring surge,” explains ORRA Chairman of the Board Kathleen Gallagher McIver, RE/MAX Town & Country Realty, “yet total annual home sales are rising above 2009 and we’re looking for overall gains again this year.”
“Conditions have become more balanced in Orlando, which is good for both buyers and sellers. However, consumers find it even more challenging to navigate the transaction process, especially for distressed properties, which only underscores the value REALTORS® bring to buyers and sellers in this market.”
The number of new contracts filed in July 2010 (3,793) represents an increase of 2.62 percent more than were filed in July 2009 (3,696). The area’s pending sales statistic — also an indicator of future sales activity – is likewise remaining at a record high with 18.41 percent more homes (9,133) under contract and awaiting closing in July of this year than in July of last year (7,713).
The median price of all existing homes combined sold in July 2010 decreased 17.37 percent to $109,900 from the $133,000 recorded in July 2009. July 2010’s median price is a decrease of 4.43 percent compared to June 2010’s median of $115,000.
The median price for “normal” sales is $179,138 (up 4.15 percent from last month’s $172,000). The median price for bank-owned sales is $73,999 (down 4.52 percent from last month’s $77,500), and the median price for short sales is $115,000 (steady from last month’s $115,000).
“Distressed properties, which accounted for almost 70 percent of sales in July, continue to downwardly distort the median price because they generally sell at a discount relative to traditional homes in the same area,” explains Gallagher McIver.
Of the 2,387 sales in July, 740 “normal” sales accounted for 31.00 percent of all sales, while 1,133 bank-owned and 514 short sales made up 69.00 percent.
The Orlando affordability index increased to 243.74 percent in July. (An affordability index of 99 percent means that buyers earning the state-reported median income are 1 percent short of the income necessary to purchase a median-priced home. Conversely, an affordability index that is over 100 means that median-income earners make more than is necessary to qualify for a median-priced home.)
Buyers who earn the reported median income of $53,162 can qualify to purchase one of 9,812 homes in Orange and Seminole counties currently listed in the local multiple listing service for $267,866 or less.
First-time homebuyer affordability in July increased to 173.32 percent.
First-time buyers who earn the reported median income of $36,150 can qualify to purchase one of 6,837 homes in Orange and Seminole counties currently listed in the local multiple listing service for $161,910 or less.
Homes of all types spent an average of 85 days on the market before coming under contract in July 2010, and the average home sold for 94.89 percent of its listing price. In July 2009 those numbers were 101 and 94.04 percent, respectively. The area’s average interest rate decreased in July to 4.67 percent.
Inventory
There are currently 16,563 homes available for purchase through the MLS. Inventory increased by 259 homes from June 2010, which means that 259 more homes entered the market than left the market. The July 2010 inventory level is 3.88 percent lower than it was in July 2009 (17,231). The current pace of sales translates into 6.94 months of supply; July 2009 recorded 7.49 months of supply.
There are 12,708 single-family homes currently listed in the MLS, a number that is 185 (1.48 percent) more than in July of last year. Condos currently make up 2,457 offerings in the MLS, while duplexes/town homes/villas make up the remaining 1,398.
Condos and Town Homes/Duplexes/Villas
The sales of condos in the Orlando area increased by 35.64 percent in July when compared to July of 2009 and decreased by 16.21 percent compared to June of this year. To date, condo sales are up 78.15 percent (3,921 condos sold to date in 2010, compared to 2,201 by this time in 2009).
The most (285) condos in a single price category that changed hands in July were yet again in the $1 - $50,000 price range, which accounted for 52.01 percent of all condo sales.
Orlando homebuyers purchased 232 duplexes, town homes, and villas in July 2010, which is a 27.47 percent increase from July 2009 when 182 of these alternative housing types were purchased.
MSA Numbers
Sales of existing homes within the entire Orlando MSA (Lake, Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties) in July were down by 5.94 percent when compared to July of 2009. Throughout the MSA, 2,770 homes were sold in July 2010 compared with 2,945 in July 2009.
To date, sales throughout the MSA are 31.72 percent above this time in 2009 with 20,978 homes exchanging hands compared to 15,926.
Each individual county’s year-to-date sales comparisons are as follows:
*
Lake: 16.41 percent above 2009 (2,589 homes sold to date in 2010 compared to 2,224 in 2009);
*
Orange: 35.19 percent above 2009 (11,361 homes sold to date in 2010 compared to 8,404 in 2009);
*
Osceola: 18.52 percent above 2009 (3,609 homes sold to date in 2010 compared to 3,045 in 2009); and

Last week I sat in on a lecture on the American Lung Association. I learned:
The American Lung Association was created 106 years ago and was originally created to fight Tuberculosis (TB).
In 1904-1920 camps were created across the US to battle TB, most noted: Mammoth Caves in Kentucky.
Orange County is the 2nd Largest County in Florida and 163 languages are spoken here (thanks Disney)
There are more SMOKERS in China than Humans in the United States

It seems that every day we hear about people who fall victim to one of
the many scams.
Some we heard recently:
- Scammer using Craigslist to post fake ads for job openings at
popular companies.
- Scammers creating a group on Facebook called
something like, "Ikea first 5,000 fans to Register get a $1,000 gift
card"
These are fake.
Just ask yourself these questions:
- why would a popular company, who clearly can afford professional
recruiters or the posting fee on Monster.com, resort to free Craigslist
postings?
- why would a popular company need to give out $5 Million in gift
cards just to do something like register on their site, which tens of
thousands of people already do anyway?
If anyone asks for any personal information (mailing address, phone
number, etc), never trust them unless you initiate the communication
yourself, and if you know they can be trusted with your information.
On the Internet, anyone can claim to be anyone, and often scammers will
use scare tactics, false promotions, or fake awards to entice people to
enter their information.
There are some warning signs to look out for:
- Scammers who "contact you", claiming to know things about you or
saw your profile online:
- If someone contacts you by any means (phone, email, postal mail,
text messages), never automatically assume they are who they say they
are.
- If someone claims to know you, but they do not even know your
name, do not respond.
- Often scammers use a scare tactic, such as alerting you that
your bank account has been compromised and you must click the link and
re-enter your bank's login information.
Those are almost always fake look-alike sites designed to steal your
account, and will steal your money.
If you do receive such a notice from your bank or credit card and wonder
whether it's legit, simply call your bank using the phone number
printed on your card or monthly statement.
Never click links within emails claiming to be from a bank or credit
institution, even if they appear are legitimate, unless of course
you are expecting an email from them on that day.
- Scammers who "solicit victims":
- If you see an online ad for jobs at a company on a non-reputable
website (such as Craigslist), check the company's website for contact
information, and call or email them to confirm the job postings are
real.
Also if a prospective employer ever asks you for a social security
number or copy of your license BEFORE you interview by phone or
in-person, they are likely identity thieves.
- If a new Twitter page or Facebook page appears
and claims to be a company or person, but asks you to enter any personal
information, forward something to friends, or "sign up" to get
something, do not do it unless you know for certain they are legitimate.
- If you receive an official-looking letter in the mail notifying
you that your car's warranty is about to expire, or your Internet
domain name must be renewed to avoid losing it, never respond to those.
Even if they happen to know your car's make & model, or your domain
name's real name, be aware that information is not difficult for
scammers to find.
Even if they are not scams, often they are non-reputable third-parties
trying to scare you into giving them your money or transferring your
existing services to them.
- Scammers who Email:
- If an unfamiliar person uses a free email account like @yahoo.com or @gmail.com,
never assume they are who they say they are.
- If someone you do not know personally uses an email account at a
domain name you never heard of, do some research before assuming they
are legitimate.
First use Domaintools.com,
look up their email address, then scroll to the bottom and view their
registration information.
If their mailing address does not appear real, or uses a "privacy" or
"proxy" service to hide their identity, chances are they are a scammer.
Second, see if they have a website, and contact them using the phone
number, email address, or mailing address on their website.
Third, run a simple google search on the
company and see how many results show up, to see if they appear
legitimate.
Legitimate companies always keep their contact information public.
- Sometimes scammers will send fake invitations to events, or
fake emails showing your order is on hold and must be claimed.
Again, confirm the information by contacting the company yourself via
their website and/or phone, and never click on links within the emails.
- Scammers may claim they know you, but you don't know them.
Those emails often include an offer.
- Scammers may offer illegal services or products by email.
- More often than not, scammers' emails will have something odd
about them, such as typos, grammatical and spelling errors, formatting
issues, websites which don't function well, and may be addressed to you
indirectly ("friend," "sir" or "madam").
- If an email appears confusing or illegible, just ignore it.
If a website doesn't function as you expect, be suspicious of it.
- Chain Email Hoaxes and Facebook Fan Pages:
- Anytime you get an email suggesting you will benefit by forwarding
it to a certain number of friends, those are friendly hoaxes designed to
waste people's time and clog up people's inboxes.
If a Facebook Fan Page
appears and says you will get money or fame by referring 10 friends to
fan the page, that is a scam and you will receive nothing.
If you received such an email or Facebook Fan alert from
one of your friends, let them know they fell victim of an Internet
hoax.
- Scammers who approach you in-person:
- Legitimate people collecting money for a cause will have fliers,
contact numbers, and websites because they want to get their word to as
many people they can.
Scammers will likely have dirty or mutilated signs, or may tell a "hard
luck" story.
- Scammers will likely solicit an area for an hour or two, then
move to another location to avoid suspicion.
So if there is someone you have never seen before or ever heard of,
simply ask for their credentials, licenses, or identification before
giving them any money or information.
- Ask for their office phone number, take out your cell phone,
and call them right away.
Someone trying to steal something from you will likely not give out any
of their personal information, such as their real phone number.
Never send a money order, checks, cash, phone numbers, or your social
security number to anyone you met on the Internet.
Paypal is also somewhat unsafe as well, unless the transaction is
associated with a binding contract such as going through Ebay.
Try to use a credit card for online transactions.
Credit cards are a little safer than debit cards, because desputing
fraudulent charges are far easier before the funds are removed from your
checking account.
If you decide to meet someone in-person, such as buying/selling goods on
Craigslist or if you met someone through an online social website, be
sure to meet in a public place or an area where there are other people
around.
Most of all, use common sense.
It never hurts to ask questions, and don't forget to confirm their
identity by means other than what they provide to you, and don't be
afraid to pick up the phone and call them to ensure they are legit.

This article is From the OBJ | THE VUE was worth 100 Million in 2007, just sold for 25.9 Million | Nearly 75% off the Hay Day Prices.
The
Vue at Lake Eola condominium tower drew a final bid that was $5.4
million more than the minimum at a bankruptcy auction on March 15.
The winning bid of $25.9 million came from Condo
Developer LLC, a Delaware-based corporation formed on March 8, said
Justin Luna, a bankruptcy associate with Orlando law firm Latham
Shuker Eden & Beaudine LLP, which represented the former owner
Vue Orlando LLC. That amount bettered Starwood Properties Inc.’s
second-highest bid of $25.8 million, Luna said.
Attempts to reach the winning bidder were
unsuccessful by press time.
The auction of the 36-story, 375-unit downtown Orlando tower even
drew interest from the Joe Lewis-owned Tavistock Corp.
Former owner Vue Orlando LLC in November 2009 had its involuntary
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation converted to a Chapter 11
reorganization and sought qualified bidders to acquire the 165 unsold
units and 7,972 square feet of retail space in the building, as
previously reported by Orlando Business Journal. Creditors
that initially filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition in October
later agreed to lend the building owner another $1.4 million to continue
operating through the bankruptcy case. The Vue Orlando owes $53 million
through a single mortgage note shared by Sovereign Bank, Comerica Bank,
Mega International Commercial Bank Co. Inc., Charter One Bank NA, Great
American Insurance Co. and Great American Financial Resources Inc.
The hearing to approve the sale is slated for March 31. If approved,
the sale should close by the end of April, Luna said.
The $100 million condo tower, built in 2007, was developed by
Churchill Development Group LLC and Westminster Partners LLC.

The Central Florida Real Estate Market is HOT HOT HOT under $225,000.
15,911 Active Listings
1,742 Closed Sales
4,279+956 (BOM) New Listings came onto the Market
We currently have an 8 Month Supply of inventory.
For Florida
• Values seem to be stabilizing with no consistent monthly drops. More closed transactions in 2009 than 2008.
• THERE IS JOBS BEING LOST EVERY DAY SO THE FUTURE CONDITIONS CAN NOT BE GOOD.
• This is a seasonal or second-home market that requires the confidence of economic recovery.
• Depressed prices, short sales & foreclosures dominate this market.
• A lot of Short Sales and REOs.
• Almost 50% of our sales are currently either short sales or REO's. New guidelines for handling these types of sales hopefully will speed things along.
• Banks are hard to work with/ There are to many short sales, pre-forclosures on the market.
• Stable pricing on beach/investment properties, continued foreclosures and short sales in residential, limited lending will keep market somewhat slow, encouragement for sales due to tax credit should keep sales up until July.
• Foreclosures, Short Sales.
• Short sales and repo's - prices are still coming down.
• There is a steady movement of homes and prices are rising a little.
• Lots of foreclosures still coming....
• Lots of short sales selling which brings the overall value way down. Low price is the name of the game.
• NW Florida panhandle depends on two things the military and tourism. The housing industry is almost at a stop.
• Too many Foreclosures forcing prices down. P a g e | 15
• Prices are still low in central Florida. Resale home market is strong but vacant land market is still lagging.
• Second home market, winter is strong buying season, very strong activity and sales.
• Qualified buyers are now looking and ready to buy - even on higher priced properties. Floor calls are coming in once again. Gov't incentives may be helping, but I'm meeting more cash buyers who want to get in before prices start to increase.
• WE ARE SEEING A HIGH DEMAND FOR REO PROPERTIES AND MANY TIME MULTILE OFFERS SCENARIOS. I SEE MORE SHORT SALE COMMING INTO THE MARKET.
• Buyers have had some time to save money for the increased down payment required now.
• The warmer weather is very inviting. Also, the under $350K range is almost to stability. Inventory in this price range has depleted with fewer choices. The word is getting out to make your move.
• Overflow of short sales and foreclosed homes here; tax credit is helping now, not sure what will happen upon expiration.
• There seem to be less buyers out there that can get approved for financing considering the FHA is changing their guidelines again.
• More foreclosures are coming, prices did not reach the bottom.
• Buyers are the driving force for the better of the market! When the lenders get smart and deal with short Sales quicker these same buyers may eventually own the American dream of home ownership rather than be dicouraged from inept lenders.
• THE MARKET HAS DEFINATELY BOTTOMED OUT, SALES ARE UP, LESS TIME ON THE MARKET. WE WILL SEE MUCH MORE SHORT SALES HITTING THE MARKET PLACE, BUT THE LENDERS ARE GETTING MUCH MORE EFFICIENT.
• Financing is very tight.

The Orlando market continued to see the number of home sales jump
while values declined in January, said a report by the Florida
Realtors.
Florida Realtors sold 1,745 existing single-family homes last month,
up nearly 55 percent from 1,127 sold in January 2009. But the median
home value in January fell nearly 18 percent, from $150,500 in 2009 to
$123,500 this year.
Orlando-area condo resales were nearly three times higher
year-over-year, from 171 in January 2009 to 538 last month. The median
condo value dropped to $49,700, a 20 percent decline from January 2009’s
$62,200.
The national median sales price for existing single-family homes in
December 2009 was $177,500, up 1.4 percent from a year earlier, reported
the National
Association of Realtors.
The Orlando metropolitan statistical area was one of 16 in the state
that reported higher existing home sales in January, while all MSAs had
higher condo sales, the Florida Realtors reported. Most of the state’s
MSAs have reported sales increases for 19 consecutive months.

There was major economic news on many fronts this week, with mixed
results for mortgage markets.
The Fed statement essentially followed
the expected script, demand was strong for the Treasury auctions, and
much of the economic data released during the week was stronger than
expected.
The net effect was a small increase in mortgage rates during
the week.
As expected, the Fed made no change in the fed funds rate on
Wednesday. The biggest surprise was that the Fed's Hoenig dissented
from the decision, as he believes that economic conditions have
improved enough that the Fed should begin to tighten policy. The Fed's
outlook for the economy was slightly more positive than in the prior
statement.
The statement repeated that the mortgage-backed security
(MBS) purchase program will be concluded by the end of March.
Some
investors were disappointed that the Fed didn't show more support for a
possible expansion of the MBS purchase program, and mortgage rates rose
after the news.
There is a wide range of expectations in the investment community
about the impact of the end of the MBS purchase program on mortgage
rates.
The Fed has been purchasing roughly 75% of new MBS issuance, and
a decline in demand from one source normally leads to higher yields to
attract other buyers.
One argument, however, is that the end of the
program has been expected for quite a while, so mortgage rates already
reflect the news, and there could be little reaction over coming
months. Other analysts predict an increase in mortgage rates of as much
as one percent. The Fed itself expects a small increase in mortgage
rates as a result of the end of the program.
