Hi Ed

From Mount Dora to downtown Orlando is about 35 minutes. From Mount Dora to Walt Disney World
with the new 429 extension toll road is about 35 minutes. I take the 429 all the time to the attractions.
I commute to Maitland which is about 5 miles north of Downtown Orlando and 22 miles each way from my home. Not sure what part of California you are from but, Mount Dora is alot like Folsom or Carmichael
in Northern California .Well it reminds me of that anyway and without the horrible traffic that Southern California has. The town has a local population of 11,000 .

We were featured on Christmas Accross America on HGTV For our Christmas decorations and lighted boat parades. Like someting out of a movie when you walk in our town during Christmas. We have 2 art festivals a year and lots of antique shops. We have local run not chain restaurants in town and if you like chain restaurants they are not far outside of downtown. Lake Dora is huge and the drive around the lake to the stores I shop at is beautiful. As you can see from my profile I am selling my home. Just so you know I am not trying to over sell you on Mount dora, I will be staying in the city when it sells. Hope that helps. If I can answer any more questions let me know . - Mon Jun 16 2008, 07:11

I think your best bet in this market for Mount Dora is to consider resale single family. There are alot of conversions to "condo" that were once apartments here in Mount Dora. Alot of the homes in the city proper of Mount Dora are comparable in size and in sales value. The city is quiet but, has some tourisim driven events. Advantages of single family in city proper Mount Dora , no hoa's, twice weekly trash pick up, great response to citizens needs from the local officals.

You may be competing with new home builders. They offer more commission to the realtors than the typical 6% or 3% split if it is on the MLS and anyone call sell it.
Or you may not have a motivated realtor ,meaning if someone does not "Specifically" ask for a showing of your home or is looking for the exact price of your home, it may not get shown. Or they only show their listings if not asked to show any others.
If you are near the end of your contract with your current realtor you could sign with the realtor that sold the comparable house you mentioned.

Just some ideas, it's tough out there but ,not as bad as just keep lowering your price. Good Luck
