Housing Boom is Back with Buyers Flipping for Profits

So, as I was doing a new construction walk-thru at Windermere Terrace with my client yesterday, and it occurred to us that the price of the home my client is purchasing has gone up by $30,000 since he originally went to contract in February- So in a matter of 6 months he will have profited almost 10%.  That $30,000 is pure profit to him.  And mind you, he's not closing for another 6 weeks, which in that time frame the house price is slated to have another price increase (per the City Homes Salesperson).  As we spoke to the new construction sales person, Tracy, he told us stories of other buyers who were simply going to 'flip' the homes they were building and keep the profit- Yup.  The buyers did absolutely NOTHING, but go to contract on new construction at the right time and now they are going to earn a huge profit for doing so. Then today, I see this story in my news feed (see below)- 
Housing Wire News- Home Buyers Flipping Homes Story
If you want to be a new construction flipper- call me.  There are certain areas that are experiencing larger gains than others- and I can help you navigate the good vs. the better.  PLUS you get a rebate from ME, which equals even more profit.  On the "flip" side of this, my client is NOT going to flip the home he's building, even though he is buying it for retirement.  NOPE, he's going to put a pool in with the new construction winnings- something he wasn't going to do be able to do for another year.  He's super happy! 

Orlando Florida's Housing Market Crunch Continues

The market pulse for June doesn't look any better for buyers.  Multiple offers and ALL CASH buyers dominate the market, which fuel the housing prices.  If you are a first time home buyer or even a move up buyer, you are being pushed out of today's housing market.  This is why new construction is such a better medium for home buyers- no multiple offer bidding wars and you get a rebate from ME!

If you are a seller- now is the time.  The forecast for the fall is that inventory is going to loosen up, so you will see prices stabilize.

The New App for the MLS in Florida is Here!

If you want the most comprehensive app out there for looking at homes online- these are the ones to use!
Did you know that Zillow, Trulia, Homefinder, RedFin, Realestate.com, Home.com and all the others are not   'real time' based.  Meaning that you may look on those sites, but the results are not up to date.  If you want up to the minute accurate results on your mobile device you should ONLY use the MLS app.  And if you are on the PC or laptop, you should be using Realtor.com.  That website is linked directly to the MLS and if a property goes into the 'Pending' status, it falls OFF the Realtor.com website.  Which means you won't be looking at a house online that is already gone. All of the other website (including my own) are designed to generate leads.  If it's run by an agent, then it's designed to generate leads that go directly to that agent.  If it's run by a large corporation, like Zillow or Trulia, then they harvest those leads and sell them back to real estate agents as a source of income.  Soooooo, if you just want information, and not a sales pitch, use the app below or Realtor.com ;-)  Enjoy!
