The American Dream of homeownership is alive and well, according to a majority of renters surveyed for the NAR 2013 National Housing Pulse Survey. The survey found that more renters are thinking about becoming homeowners than in past years and the number of Americans who prefer to rent is declining. Thirty-six percent of renters said they were thinking about purchasing a home, compared to only 25 percent in 2011.

Americans’ concerns about home values continuing to drop have also diminished. A majority of respondents revealed that housing prices in their area are higher than last year, and 38 percent reported an increase in local housing market activity in the past year.

Take a look at sales figures in our local real estate market for August 2013.

Orange County Real Estate Sales Statistics – August 2013

Orange County saw 31 fewer homes sold in August 2013 than August 2012, a 2 percent decrease. The average sales price increased by 23 percent and the median sales price increased by 27 percent from August 2012.  Market times decreased by 25 days or 17 percent.

Osceola County Real Estate Sales Statistics – August 2013

Osceola County homes saw home sales increased by 39 homes, a 7 percent increase. Prices increased with the average sales price up 12 percent and the median price increased by 23 percent.  Market Times decreased by 15 days compared to August 2012.

Seminole County Real Estate Sales Statistics – August 2013

Seminole County residential sales increased by 9 percent with 63 more homes sold in August 2013. The average sales price increased by 16 percent, and the median sales price increased by 13 percent compared to August 2012 levels. Market times decreased by 26 days or 18 percent.

Lake County Real Estate Sales Statistics – August 2013

Polk County Real Estate Sales Statistics – August 2013

Polk County saw 21 more homes sold in August 2013 compared to August 2012.  The average sales price increased by 20 percent, and the median sales price increased by 24 percent.  Market times decreased by 20 days compared to August 2012.

It’s still a great time to get your best price on an Orlando home.

The Orlando Sentinel has this great article “9 Ways You Know You Live in Downtown Orlando!” It’s great fun!!

There’s no other place in Central Florida quite like downtown Orlando.

From its abundance of bars and clubs to its brick streets that line the surrounding neighborhoods, downtown Orlando is a special place that attracts a special type of resident.

You know who you are because, unlike your friends who live in Altamonte Springs or Dr. Phillips, you’re OK watching young couples argue as they walk home on a Saturday night. You look forward to the Sunday morning Farmers’ Market and the guy who sells the world’s best orange juice. And a quiet night out means going to the bars in Thornton Park instead of the clubs on Church Street.

For those who dwell along Orange Avenue, walk to the Amway Center for Orlando Magic games and stroll around Lake Eola Park every weekend, we’ve complied a list for you: ‘9 Ways You Know You Live in Downtown Orlando.”

And if you have a suggestion for the list, email jbusdeke@orlandosentinel.com, tweet me @JonBusdeker or message me on Facebook. I’ll post the best ones here on my blog.

Thanks Jon!

Housing affordability conditions have reached the highest level since recordkeeping began in 1970, according to the National Association of Realtors®.

NAR’s Housing Affordability Index rose to a record high 206.1 in January, based on the relationship between median home price, median family income and average mortgage interest rate. The higher the index, the greater the household purchasing power. An index of 100 is defined as the point where a median-income household has exactly enough income to qualify for the purchase of a median-priced existing single-family home, assuming a 20 percent downpayment and 25 percent of gross income devoted to mortgage principal and interest payments.

NAR projects the affordability index for all of 2012 will be at an annual high, with little movement in mortgage interest rates or home prices during the year.

What does affordability look like in our local real estate market? Take a look at February figures.
