What are the Hottest Central Florida Areas for Residential Builders and Developers?

What are the Hottest Central Florida Areas for Residential Builders and Developers?

March 10, 2014 – Orlando, Florida. To answer that question you have to evaluate what areas are attracting buyers the most in and around Orlando. New home construction is showing signs of slowing down in traditional higher building activity counties like Orange and Seminole. Mark Arnold and Marcus Faller, two commercial real estate advisers with The Real Estate Firm of Orlando and who possess a wealth of raw land commercial experience in the Central Florida community, have been touting the potential for certain cities in Lake County. They have been aggressively marketing raw land and developed lots to builders and developers for over a year now throughout Central Florida. Now all their and efforts are paying off with their prediction about Lake County.

Mark Arnold cited, “home prices have rebounded in the Orange and Seminole Counties over the last year and continue to increase gradually. There just aren’t many great raw land deals left for development inside the SR417/429 beltway corridor. Developers must now look to other counties and one of them is Lake County.” A recent article that came out in the Orlando Sentinel (3.19.2014) points out Tavares, Leesburg, Mount Dora and Lady Lake are on the Top 5 List of markets attracting buyers within Central Florida. “These are the cities we have been clamoring about during the last 12 months”, Arnold continued.

Marcus Faller, also, made mention that the Wekiva Expressway Extension of SR429 has developers buzzing with interest in the key mid Lake County/west Seminole County areas. “We, perhaps, are among the only commercial realtors to have multi-acreage residential raw land available for residential development in Winter Park and along the Seminole SR46 roadway. Once these prestigious pieces are sold the only places to go for future development will be the other outlying counties.” The Orlando Sentinel article also, referenced Winter Park as the other most attracted buyer market on the Top 5 List.

Both Arnold and Faller went onto say that they are meeting with legacy land owners regularly in Lake, Volusia, Osceola and Polk Counties, and have meetings with national and regional builders weekly who desire to acquire property for development in counties like Lake County. The asking price for “infill land” close to Orlando is going up astronomically, faster than the market now dictates.

It’s interesting to note that Florida is known to rank in the Top 5 U.S. job growth markets with an annual 2.3% rate of growth. There is a direct relation between this factor and residential real estate. Arnold stated, “Central Florida is in a perfection location to capitalize on this phenomenon.“

Faller quickly added, “that the Orlando area is an incredibly diverse area. The resident demographics are varied and commercially industries run the gambit from tourism, agricultural, high technology, service centers and professional. In addition, not only are people moving to the State at a tremendous rate, but many families are consistently relocating to Central Florida from the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami region……all elements that help drive growth. Foreclosures seem to be trending down and with land prices escalating, home prices are bound to go up. We feel that with job potential increasing in Central Florida this is an exciting place for builders and developers to be right now.”
