Winter Park, Florida, Remains A Popular Destination For Relocation

Just as it has been for decades, Winter Park, Florida, is one of the premier destinations of the state for relocation, retirement and vacation, say local Realtors. "Winter Park is known for "Park Avenue" shopping and dining in an older, charming atmosphere," says Realtor Frank Filippelli. "With large old oak trees, a beautiful chain of lakes, art galleries (with one of the best art shows in the country), and more. What more could you ask for? Well, how about great schools, a well-managed government, and close proximity to Orlando? There are also golf courses both public and very private. In terms of pricing, homes and condos range from $200,000-$15,000,000." Agrees Realtor Alan Celle Basch, "It"s an older upscale community with some newer (1980s and 1990s) construction on the east side." About the market, Basch suggests, "Working with an exclusive buyer agent team is highly beneficial since it remains a seller"s market due to the low inventory of homes. West of Highway 436, buyers can expect to pay $250,000. East of Highway 436, homes in some areas can be purchased for close to $200,000. The excellence of Winter Park schools creates a strong demand for this area, but constant monitoring of available homes has proven to be extremely helpful to buyers." "Winter Park is a super hot sought after location now more then ever," says Realtor Carol Madden. "Park Avenue in downtown Winter Park, with its trendy shops and boutiques, has some of the best restaurants in central Florida and provides a great place for strolling, sidewalk cafes. There is a magnificent rose garden to relax and find peace in and a beautiful park which hosts art & craft shows, music concerts and so much more. Lakes and a variety of properties, including a public golf course, make this an ideal location. Museums, including the Morse museum of Louis Comfort Tiffany, are right on Park Avenue in downtown Winter Park." Click here to view current Market Conditions in your location.

Mold Is Becoming A Significant Real Estate Matter
Who ever heard of a home not selling because of mold? Or of a "mold contingency?" Five years ago, no one ever heard of such a thing. But mold is getting more attention and home inspectors need to look for mold on a regular basis, if they are not doing so already.

HOA Pool Rules
Did you ever read the standard set of state mandated pool rules? They are meant to address health and safety considerations and are often directed at children (or childish adults). For the most part the rules are, like, “Duh, who doesn’t know that?” But they seem to be needed because there is something about playing in water that brings out silly, loud and obnoxious behavior in some.

Question: I am in the military and at present I am in Iraq. My divorce proceedings have begun and my soon-to-be ex contacted me to sign some papers concerning a refinancing loan. She is claiming that I need to sign a power of attorney (POA) to give her authority to sign to get my name off of the mortgage. I have someone serving as my POA already, but she claims that the mortgage company wants to deal with me directly. I do not trust her, but I really want to get my name off of that mortgage so that I will not be half accountable in case of a defaulted loan. I know that she has to refinance under her name only for this to happen. Should I sign that POA?
