More and more tourists who come to Orlando to visit the theme parks and other attractions are skipping hotels and buying or renting vacation homes. If you live near Disney World or Universal, and are thinking about selling your home, this may be the perfect time to make your move.
New research from the University of Central Florida’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management shows buyers are willing to pay an average of $269,000 for a vacation home in the attractions area. That’s because the Kissimmee/Osceola County area provides buyers with value, a desired lifestyle and safety.
Dr. Robertico Croes, a professor at Rosen College, expects this summer to be especially appealing thanks to the Orlando-area’s hot economy, and the opening of “Pandora – The World of Avatar” at Walt Disney World Resort's Animal Kingdom park and Universal Orlando's new Volcano Bay water park.
Median housing prices have been growing very fast lately. This is a benefit for home sellers, since you may be able to command a higher price for your property, particularly if you’re in a community that is zoned for short-term rentals.
Many of the tourists who buy homes in the Disney area come from the U.K. If you want to market to this group, it’s important that you work with a real estate firm that knows how to promote your listing overseas. This is where Team Donovan shines.

Our participation in this network gives your home the competitive edge when it comes to attracting potential buyers. In addition, your home will be featured in a variety of international newspapers and on the Reuters.co.uk website.
