Is it time to sell...or would this time next year be any better? This is for the Orlando market (32825).

Asked Mon Nov 3 2008, 13:22 by Mike - 32825 - Home Selling - 13 answers

Marcus answered:

Lots of interesting answers (and some equally interesting spelling) not many of which tell you this... it doesn't really matter whether you list it or not in the current market because it won't sell anyway. Period. UNLESS you're priced well below market value.

The sad truth is that most listings are not even getting a phone call right now, unless they are foreclosures or bank owned. So unless you have a lot of equity in the property and can take a good haircut on the price, you're on a hiding to nothing. You'll be wasting your time and that of your agent. If you don't have to sell, don't. If you do have to, then it's hard to say whether next year will be any better.

Can I short sell my own home?

Asked Wed Oct 29 2008, 13:18 by Carrie - Orlando - Home Selling - 5 answers

Marcus answered:

I don't think your assumption is correct Carrie. Sure it depends what the status of your other homes are but anything is possible right now. I'm also a Realtor short selling a condo - I've handed it over to a colleague since this is his forte. You also don't want to be caught taking a commission on it in the event you find a buyer. I'd suggest handing it over to a short sale specialist. If you'd like to give our partners a try let me know and I'll arrange for them to call you and chat about options. - Wed Oct 29 2008, 13:43

I am interested in buying this property I need all the information about it including pictures and How much

Asked Wed Oct 22 2008, 18:28 by Robert Grana… - 32836 - Home Buying - 7 answers

Marcus answered:

Robert, this home is temporarily off the market. You can contact me for more info in the morning if you like as I have already requested more info from the seller's agent as to why. If this one doesn't work out, there are other good deals in the area... no excuse for not finding a humdinger of a deal in this market! - Wed Oct 22 2008, 19:28

Is this home in foreclosure and if so with who?

I'm not seeing this house number listed in the MLS. There are house numbers: 13509, 13539, 13538, 13550, and 13702... do you have the right number? - Wed Oct 15 2008, 17:40

Does any one have a 2 on the west side of Orlando Metrowest, Ocoee, etc that can be rented out by 10-18?

Asked Wed Oct 15 2008, 10:08 by Jennifer - Orlando - General Area - 3 answers

Marcus answered:

I have 1200 SF a 2/1 loft that you can take on a month to month basis but I can't guarantee more than a month at a time since it could be sold if a buyer ever comes along - Wed Oct 15 2008, 15:16
