HAPPY FRIDAY!
How is the market in Central Florida? Here are some numbers for you to think about...

From May 28th, 2009-Present, there were nearly 30,000 homes sold in Central Florida . This number includes sales in Seminole, Orange , Osceola and Polk counties for single family homes under $500,000. 43% of the sales were bank-owned properties and 20% short sales.

Currently, we have 15,000 homes listed for sale in Central Florida. 42% of the active listings are bank owned and 30% are short sales. Of the 10,000 properties currently pending (under contract) 60% are short sale properties and 20% are bank-owned.

Short sales tend to stay pending for a while due to the length of time required to obtain third party approvals.

For more specific numbers or information, please contact the Reaves Team Orlando and will be happy to drill down these numbers.

The numbers are originated from Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for Central Florida.
