Windermere Florida real estate is some of the best investment property available in the state. as well as a great place to live! Originally a weekend retreat for the Orlando wealthy, Windermere, while retaining its small-town flavor, is now home to everything from new condos and townhomes, to comfortable single family homes all the way to the most luxurious waterfront estates of the famous and powerful in such renowned communities as Isleworth.
In February 2008, the median home price in Windermere was $329,000 a decrease of almost 30% from one year ago. This may reflect smaller-sized home sales as much as any market impact on prices. During February there were 34 home sales, up from 33 a year ago. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with an average days on the market going from almost 5 months a year ago, to about 5.5 months now.
The Town of Windermere, in the Southwest part of Orlando, is less than 30 minutes away from Downtown Orlando, the Mall at Millenia and some of the finest shopping in Central Florida, Orlando International Airport as well as the Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld theme parks. As a result of it being situated close enough to everything, yet at the same time far enough away too, property values in Windermere have gone up tremendously in the last several years and-as many people will tell you-have a very bright future ahead for them as well. In fact, a major recent study projected the Orlando area to be the #1 real estate market in the entire State of Florida for the next several years!
Windermere (and Orlando), is not only about an hour away from either the Atlantic Ocean to the East or the Gulf of Mexico to the West, it is home to some of the finest lakes in the State, including the Butler Chain of Lakes that runs through and around Windermere.
Of course, Orlando is the single biggest tourist destination in the world, but it is also home to world-class technology companies and medical research facilities and as such is a constant attraction to visitors and new residents from literally around the world. Recreationally, and culturally, there are many things that the area has to offer. Visit one of the many art museums or the Orlando Science Center; take in the theater at the Orlando Rep; see world-class music at the world-famous Hard Rock or the House of Blues; play golf at over 150 courses- including several PGA golf courses (and home to the Bay Hill Invitational every year!); bike or walk the over 30 miles of the West Orange Trail; while away the day on the tree-lined, brick-paved streets and outdoor shopping of old Winter Park; or take a leisurely stroll around Lake Eola Park in the city center.
Needless to say, Orlando in general has real estate which many say is poised for tremendous growth as a more sustainable market grows and improves over the next few years.
