More and more people are moving to Florida these days, and many of those transplants are opting for Central Florida over any other part of the state. Back in 2016, data released by the U.S. Census Bureau revealed more than 73,000 people moved into the Central Florida region, and steady population growth in our area is a trend that doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon. 

Fittingly, John Burns Real Estate Consulting just recently devised a list of the 50 fastest-selling master planned communities in the country, and of course several are located right here in Central Florida.

According to a recently released report by the Orlando Regional Realtor Association, the Orlando area market, which of course includes most of Orange and Seminole Counties, had the lowest year-end inventory in more than 10 years, which was an on-going trend that allowed home prices to spike 10.7% over the last 12 months.

Affordable price ranges are where supply shortages are most prominent, and that’s an issue the many industry pros are worried about as we dive deeper into 2018.

Believe it or not, around 17% of all Metro Orlando homes sold for over asking price in 2017, which averaged out to be an extra…
