Worn out from visiting theme parks? Take a breather from downtown Orlando and visit the 43-acre (17-hectare) Lake Eola Park, located in the heart of the city. The lake is actually an 80-foot (24-meter) sinkhole. Enjoy a concert or play in the amphitheatre, check out the view of the Orlando skyline, or, on Sundays, stop by the farmers market.

The Orlando Sentinel reports….

Orlando has a starring role when “The X Factor” goes live Tuesday. Three acts from Central Florida are among the Top 16 that will perform in the singing contest at 8 p.m. on Fox.

“It goes to show that Orlando is the best-kept secret,” said Rachel Potter, 29, who lived in Orlando six years. “I played at the Abbey over the summer. I hired a band to be my musicians. I’ve worked with musicians in New York and Nashville, and they blew them out of the water. There’s so much talent in Orlando.”

Alex Kinsey, 22, of New Smyrna Beach agrees. “It’s pretty amazing,” he said. “Our area has so much talent to share.”

Kinsey and Sierra Deaton, 22, of Winter Springs perform as the duo Alex & Sierra. The two — she is a University of Central Florida grad, he is a UCF student — are mentored by Simon Cowell.

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.
