I like to report what’s going on in the Seminole County foreclosure market (which includes short sales and bank owned).  Whether you’re considering selling your home or you’re looking to buy a home (first homes AND investment properties) The knowledge our office has of the Seminole County market can help you meet YOUR goals!!!

In the first quarter of 2010, there have been 1,210 sales, of those, 282 were short sales (23%), 445 were bank owned (37%), and 483 were “regular” sales (39%).  Also, median home prices are broken down the same way: Median Home price in Orlando Area was $110,000, short sales were $115,000, bank owned was $74,000 and “regular” was $166,500.
