There are 4 less homes for sale in Lake Mary this week, inventory of homes available for sale decreased to 535 homes. The number of homes under contract for purchase continues to hover just under a hundred, with many of those homes being short-sales, which explains why they are slow to convert to sales. The sale of 8 existing homes this week brings to close the month of March and moves us into the first month of the Spring buying season. Last April there were 32 home sales… Subscribe To The Move To Lake Mary Blog here to see if we surpass the April ‘08 sales.

The available homes for sale in Lake Mary, FL continue to stay consistent with a current inventory of 539 homes, up 2 from last week. The stable inventory is a good sign for our local housing market. The only number that I would like to see increase is the amount of homes that are currently under contract. As we move into the Spring and Summer buying season, we need to see more pending homes to have any chance in turning the market around this year. Stay tuned to see if Lake Mary home buyers realize that it is a great time to buy a home.
I’ve been out hitting the streets of Lake Mary, FL with a couple of families that are moving to Florida from other areas of the Country. It’s always an exciting experience to teach Seminole County home buyers the ins and outs of Central Florida. There are so many things that we take granted; great schools, shopping and restaurants are all just five minutes from your doorstep and some of the top vacation destinations in the U.S are within just an hour of your home.
When Lake Mary, FL was voted the #4 Place to Live by CNN/Money Magazine it didn’t come as a surprise to me. The quality of life here is something that many only dream of and often don’t get to experience. Lake Mary is just a short drive to the theme parks, beaches and Downtown Orlando, yet has small town feeling and a strong sense of community. Shopping, restaurants, work and play are all just minutes from your doorstep.
I’m asked on a daily basis if homes are “really” selling in this market, the answer is YES. The old adage “Location, Location, Location” has been replaced though, by ”PRICE, PRICE, PRICE”. When you have a home for sale in Lake Mary, FL or anywhere in Seminole County for that matter, you have to price it properly. The best house (condition, location, size & amenities) at the best PRICE will sell first. When you are ready to sell your home understanding today’s buyers and marketing your property to reach them is also essential.
This week we find 540 homes for sale in Lake Mary, FL - 24 of those homes are wee just listed this week. 83 homes are currently under contract and many of those homes are foreclosures and short sales. Only two of the eight sales this week were non-traditional sales, there was one short sale and one foreclsoure. Proving that ”real people” are selling their homes in this market.
Lake Mary home buyers use to shop from a car going door to door looking at homes, not anymore. Today home buyers are shopping for their next Lake Mary from the comfort of their own home, clicking their way through the hundreds of homes taking ‘virtual tours’ while they drink coffee in their pajamas. Often times they will never make it to your door unless you peak their interest online and give them a reason to make a ‘real’ life visit.
If you want to sell your home to today’s buyer, you have to think like a Lake Mary home buyer or at least your REALTOR does.
Online home shopping is no longer the exception…it RULES.
There are currently 550 homes for sale in Lake Mary, FL - 20 of those homes are new listings this week. 82 homes are currently under contract and more than half of those homes are Foreclosures or Short-Sales. If you are thinking about buying a home in Lake Mary or Seminole County, be sure that you speak with a REALTOR who is knowledgeable about the Foreclosure and Short Sale process.
It’s often said… “What a difference a year makes”. Well, in this case the number of homes available for sale in Lake Mary, FL at the end of February this year is almost exactly the same as what the inventory was in February of last year.
As you can see, the height of the Summer buying season is July and August and as usual the inventory was at it’s highest. Then in December, when many “not so serious” home sellers don’t want to be bothered with the inconvenience of showing their homes, the inventory hit it’s lowest point int he last 12 months.
