When it comes to buying a home, it can feel a bit intimidating to know how much you need to save and where to find that information. But you should know, you’re not expected to have all the answers yourself. There are many trusted professionals who can help you understand your finances and what you’ll need to budget for throughout the process.To get you started, here are a few things experts say you should plan for along the way.1. Down PaymentAs you set your savings goal for your purchase, your down payment is likely already top of mind. And, like many other people, you may believe you need to set aside 20% of the home’s purchase price for that down payment – but that’s not always the case. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) says:“One of the biggest misconceptions among housing... 04/05/2022

This is the condo I bought a few weeks back.  It was a major fixer upper.  It is going on the market soon.  1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, downstairs unit.  Located in west Orlando, Florida.  I am looking for more properties to fix up beautifully.  Take a look at the video.https://webuyhousesflorida.com #webuyhousesflorida  02/01/2022

This is the latest project I started working on.  A 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom condo unit in west Orlando Florida. The first step is getting the kitchen and bathrooms back together.  Then the walls and painting.  Then the flooring.  Then the light fixtures and accessories.  Estimated time to finish is 30 days or less.  Enjoy the video.If you are looking for a cash buyer, I am interested in making a serious offer on your property.  Realtors can keep both sides of the commission.  I don't make long drawn out inspection periods and don't need a financing or appraisal contingency.  As you can see by this video, heavy rehab jobs do not scare me.  Mold damage, fire, sinkhole, termites, etc. are ok too.#webuyhousesflorida  01/11/2022

Another year closer to when the day will be the most GLORIOUS DAY when i can meet my lord and savior and see my GRANDDADDY once again! My granddaddy was the only father that I ever had in my life and I have memories of fishing with him as young as 3 in our little 14 foot Starcraft Boat with a 9.9 Johnson outboard on Lake Okeechobee.

Him teaching me to cut grass when the 2nd bar of the lawn mower was taller than me, of him buying my first bike and teaching me to ride, of the stories he told and the buildings he shared that he worked on on Miami Beach like the 4 ambassadors, the first 40 story bldg in Miami.My granddaddy was a man of honor and integrity and this tim... 11/18/2021

Inventory remains low with 39% fewer homes of all types available for sale compared with a year ago. We did see a very small, 1% increase in inventory from August to September however. Even with the lower inventory, total sales continued to climb by 9% compared to September of 2020. Based on the total number of sales of 3,789, we have roughly 29 days of inventory on hand. Low inventory and strong demand along with very favorable interest rates pushed the median sales price to $318,000, which is up 18% compared to last year. Be sure to check out this brief video breaking down the #OrlandoRealEstate market for September 2021. 10/18/2021

Up 13%, up 16% and down 39%. If you read my blog regularly, you already know what these are, because we have been in this trend for quite some time. The first number represents the increase in home sales last month compared to a year ago. Sales were up 13% with 3,999 closed transactions compare with 3,539 in August of 2020.  The second number represents the increase in the median sales price for Orlando real estate which was $320,000 last month. The third number represents the decline in inventory available for sale which stands at 3,638, a 39% decrease from a year ago, but a 3% increase compared with July.Check out this brief video breaking down the #OrlandoRealEstate market results for August 2021. 09/20/2021

Just how challenging has the Orlando real estate market been for buyers this year? I took a look at the percentage of closed sales, in Orange and Seminole Counties for the last six months that closed above asking price. I looked at the numbers for this year compared with 2019. I went back two years for obvious reasons, given the special circumstances and challenges of 2020. Below is a table that illustrates just how much more challenging our market has been for buyers this year.  Month 2019 2021 March 8.5% 19.8% April 9.8% 27.3% May 10.2% 30.8% June 10.7% 38.2% July 9.8% 38.0% August 9.7% 36.5% You can see that in a 'normal' market nearly 10% our sales in Orlando close above the asking price. In our super heated market of 2021 that percentage has more than tripled. We have seen inventor... 09/08/2021

Take the sales increase with a grain of salt. Remember last year, May sales were way off due to COVID-19. That being said, sales did climb 82% compared with a year ago, and the median price soared 15% compared with May 2020. Over that same time, the inventory of homes of all types available for sale has plummeted 61%. Sales last month outpaced the inventory, meaning we have less than a one month supply of homes available for sale in Orlando. That may be starting to turn around though, because the 2,822 homes for sale represented a 6% increase in supply compare with the month before. Also, the median price has remained steady for the last few months at $300,000. #OrlandoRealEstate #Remax #Realtor  06/16/2021
