Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty Offers New Incentive in Investor Sale of Lake County Home Sites: Prepaid School, Transportation Impacts
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty is offering a new incentive on the sale of 84 investor/builder home sites in three desirable Lake County communities: prepaid transportation and school impact fees.
Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said in addition to the lots being sharply discounted, pre-paid impact fees are also being offered as an unusual marketing incentive that will appeal to builders and investors.
“Transportation and school impact fees can total as much as $11,513 per home site and that can add dramatically to the cost of a new home,” Soderstrom said.
Altogether, Stirling Sotheby’s is marketing six finished home sites at Addison Place, located off Wolf Branch Rd. at Wolf Ridge Lane in Mount Dora; 58 finished home sites at Grand Island Oaks, located off S.R. 44 at Chain of Lakes Rd. in Grand Island; and 20 finished home sites at Sleepy Hollow, located south of S.R. 44 on Sleepy Hollow Rd. in Leesburg.
“All three established neighborhoods are in excellent locations, and these home sites represent an excellent private investment and even more valuable inventory for an established home builder,” said Troy Fletcher, the Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty agent representing the property.
Showcase Homes of Florida is the seller.
Fletcher said Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty is offering the finished home sites in bulk or by community.
“These home sites were initially offered with pricing that was discounted by 40 percent,” Soderstrom said. “The seller is now discounting the prices even further to make them available for immediate sale,” he said.
“I don’t know of another offering in the Leesburg Chain of Lakes region that promises a better deal for a home builder or an investor,” Fletcher said.

Inventory of Spec Homes in Central Florida is decreasing and prices are rising, Lennar warns “Now is the time to buy”
ORLANDO/TAMPA, Fla. --- The inventory of available ready-to-move-in spec homes in the Orlando and Tampa Bay regions is decreasing and that means prices are beginning to rise, according to one of Florida’s most active home builders.
Mark Metheny, president of Lennar’s Central Florida Division, which builds new single family and town homes in 20 communities in the Clermont, Orlando and Space Coast areas and in 15 communities in the Tampa Bay region, said Lennar is working hard to maintain ready-to-move-in homes in all its communities.
“As inventories decline, the law of supply and demand is reasserting itself,” Metheny said.
Currently, Lennar’s ready-to-move-in homes at its communities in Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando and Polk Counties are priced from the $70s to more than $400,000. In the Clermont, Orlando and Space Coast regions Lennar move-in ready homes are priced from the low $100s to the high $200s, Metheny explained.
“We are building new ready-to-move-in homes in all of our communities and it is getting harder to keep up with demand,” Metheny said.
As the Florida housing market recovers, some buyers are going to see a window of opportunity close, he said.
“Right now, the lowest pricing, the lowest mortgage interest rates and the best availability all point to a unique window for home buyers that will close as demand increases and prices rise," Metheny said.

Unlike many traditional homebuilders, Sawdai said Bellagio offers as standards, a 14-SEER energy-efficient heating and cooling system; impact-rated windows with low-E coating; Kohler fixtures, upgraded KraftMaid cabinetry, solid-core doors and granite tops in kitchens and baths and much more.
“We can help the homebuyer in the design process by suggesting plans from our library or we can assist them in the design process to create their dream home,” he said.

Heritage Hills in Clermont Reduces Prices for Villa Homes by $12,000 in Summer Blowout Sale
CLERMONT, Fla. --- Lennar has reduced pricing on Villa homes at Heritage Hills, the gated active adult community located on Heritage Hills Blvd. off Hartwood Marsh Road, east of U.S. 27 in Clermont.
Mark Metheny, president of the Central Florida Division of Lennar, said new villa homes at Heritage Hills are priced from $127,990.
“The price of the 1,400 square foot St. Lucia villa home has been reduced to $127,990,” Metheny said. The two-bedroom, two-bath St. Lucia also offers a one-car garage.
Sara K. Nakamine, who heads Active Adult Marketing for Lennar in Clermont, said visitor traffic at Heritage Hills has been heavy since Easter.
“This is unusual for the late spring,” she explained. “Typically, visitor traffic falls off dramatically after Easter, when winter visitors return to the north.
Nakamine said the surge in after Easter visits to the Welcome Home Center at Heritage Hills is probably the result of changing lifestyle patterns of active adults.
“The active adult market is changing and we’re already seeing the first wave,” Metheny said. “For the next 20 years or so an average of more than 1,500 Americans every day will celebrate their 65th birthday, he said.
“The U.S. economy is improving and active adults who put off retirement plans for the past five years are now entering the market in greater number than before,” Metheny said.
Lennar builds single family and villa homes at Heritage Hills priced from the $130s
Heritage Hills features an 18,890 square foot community clubhouse with a grand ballroom, swimming pool, fitness center, card and billiards rooms, aerobics studio, bocce ball courts, lighted tennis courts, social director, private vineyards and olive grove, fitness and biking trails, and golf simulator.
