The housing inventory is as diverse as the tastes of homebuyers. Prices are reasonable, supply is adequate, and choices abound. Right now, the Orlando area (Orange & Seminole Counties) have some of the best housing deals in the nation. Home prices start at about $100,000 and run upward to several million, varying a bit depending on the community. New or newer homes, especially in gated communities or areas with lots of amenities command higher per-square-foot prices.
Newcomers -- especially those from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and California -- are absolutely astonished by Central Florida housing values. They think they've died and gone to heaven. Single-family homes account for 90 percent of sales. Choices range from modest bungalows to magnificent gated mansions; locations from urban to rural and from lakefront to fairway, from historic neighborhoods with brick streets to new, gated communities -- some with their own golf courses. The best values can be found in southeast Orange County and Northeast Seminole County.
New communities include Waterford Lakes, a golf course community with homes from the low $100's to the upper $200's; Keene's Pointe, a golf course community with homes from $400,000 to several million on the Butler Chain of Lakes; and Rock Springs Ridge, a golf course community with homes from $150,000 to $250,000.
