East Lake Properties/ Market Update

The Stinking Truth

As I come in contact with many sellers, I realize one thing. That one thing is, everyone wants the best price for their home. That is not the issue. The issue is the overpricing that happens too often in real estate. Some homeowners even like to "test" their home on the market. Hoping that someone gives them enough money to go retire on a yacht in the Cayman Islands. What is that? Is it a dose of disney world that continues to hold sellers back from their reality of the Real Estate Market?

The truth is the real estate market is ever changing, however what remains the same is that everyone wants the best bank for their buck. Unfortunately because most sellers have an emotional attachment to their house and do not work in the Real Estate Market daily, they tend to overprice their home. Overpricing will lead to the least bank for your buck and send a seller into distress.  Even if a buyer solves the home, buyers remorse can happen if they realize through research that they are paying $30,000 more for your home that the home across the street.

Please, listen to your Realtor. Usually you know when you have interviewed with a real Professional. Take sound advice from someone that studies the market monthly, if not weekly. Be informed, yet be realistic. Selling a home is not a simple task, as a matter of fact in some cases it could be nearly impossible for  a buyer to absolutely love everything about a home that they about to pour most of their savings into.  Make it Sell not Sit,

Highland Homes Expands Offerings with Four New Communities Coming Soon

Highland Homes announces new home communities in St. Cloud, Plant City and Ruskin, Florida.

Tampa, FL, October 02, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Highland Homes is growing as it expands its new
home offerings with several new communities expected to open soon in Central Florida and
Tampa Bay.

“2014 has been a successful year for Highland Homes as we have started selling new homes in 
several new communities and closed out several others,” said Amy Cooper, Marketing Manager of 
Highland Homes. “As we begin the fourth quarter of 2014, we are excited to announce four more
new communities to fulfill the needs of Florida home buyers, with a few more being developed to
open before the end of the year.”

The four communities that Highland Homes will soon start selling at include Deer Creek in
St. Cloud, Venetian at Bay Park in Ruskin and Eastridge Preserve and Wiggins Estates in Plant City.

With its prime St. Cloud location and stylish home designs priced from the $160,000s, Deer
Creek was so popular among homebuyers that when Highland Homes sold out earlier this year,
they received multiplerequests to build more homes in this community. Highland Homes listened
and is excited to announce theyare purchasing 41 new home sites in the community.
Residents of Deer Creek enjoy the ideal Florida lifestyle with lakes and conservation areas
throughout the community, as well as a playground and open spaces. Additionally, the Florida
Turnpike, Orlando’s world-renowned attractions, delicious restaurants and golfcourses are just
minutes away.

Located within the Wellington North at Bay Park community in Ruskin, Venetian at Bay Park
will feature 25 
single-family homes in a quiet cul-de-sac court. Priced from the $150,000s, these homes will
feature up to 2,179 square feet of living space with sought-after features that include open layouts,
built-in storage, two-car garages and outdoor living areas. Additionally, Venetian at Bay Park
is located just minutes from Tampa Bay and the Little Manatee River, as well as a multitude
of beaches, parks, nature preserves and water activities. Pre-sales opportunities are available now.

In Plant City, Highland Homes is now accepting pre-sales at Eastridge Preserve and Wiggins Estates.
 Both communities offer plenty of space for outdoor living with one-acre home sites (or larger).
With homes pricedfrom the $230,000s, interiors of the single-family homes showcase well-designed
floor plans with up to 3,315 square feet of living space. Eastridge Preserve offers 17 home sites,
while Wiggins Estates offers very limited opportunities with just two estate home sites available.

At every Highland Homes community, buyers have the opportunity to personalize their new home
with hundreds of selections available in the Highland Homes Personal Selection Studio. Additionally,
qualified homebuyers can purchase with just $99 down, to make owning a home in one of these
metro Orlando or Tampa Bay communities even more affordable.
