ORLANDO, Fla. --- The Central Florida division of Lennar has reduced pricing by as much as $61,000 on select new ready-to-move-in single-family homes, townhomes, active adult and vacation homes in its 17 Orlando area communities and coupled the rock-bottom pricing with zero closing costs, zero down payments and record low interest rates.
Mark Metheny, president of Lennar’s Central Florida Division, said the combined offer is good on select ready-to-move-in homes that include popular options and upgrades throughout Orlando, Clermont, Mount Dora, Sanford and the Space Coast, but the home must be purchased before July 31 and closed on by Aug. 31.
“I think we’ve created the most compelling offer in the home building industry today,” Metheny said. “We’ve tried to create the very best market for a new home that is possible. I don’t think anyone in the region can beat us,” he said.
Prices for new townhomes, single-family homes, active adult homes and vacation homes range from a low of $109,990 at Treviso, a new town home community in Sanford, to $131,990 at Stoneybrook Hills, a new residential community in Mount Dora, to $122,990 at Heritage Isle, the award-winning active adult community at Viera in Brevard County.
“We’re at the height of the summer selling season and we’ve pulled out the stops to create the very best environment for buying a new home that most of us will ever see again in our lifetimes,” Metheny said.

Nursery Owners Targeted as potential Buyers of 32-acre Groveland Estate with Large Peat Deposit
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty hopes nursery owners could prove an ideal target market for a unique 32-acre estate on Tuscanooga Road in Groveland. http://32acreranch.com/eflyer/ls.html
Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, said the property could make the perfect nursery, and natural resources---a potential peat farm---could generate substantial additional income.
Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty will accept “Highest and Best Offer” bids through July 20 on the 32 acre Lake County ranch owned by blues performer Rozzy Osborne. The listed reserve price is $400,000.
Part of the property is already plumbed for underground irrigation, Soderstrom said. And special features include a security entrance, three separate wells, a private gun range, a whole house generator, 500 gallon propane tank, stables, a half-acre garden, tree house, fish pond with a private dock and a covered picnic area with electricity that would easily seat 40 people.
Luxury Home Specialist Linnette Sanzalone said the property is a ready-made commercial nursery site.
“The Osborne estate is self-contained, secure and offers almost total privacy,” Sanzalone said. “It would be perfect for a commercial nursery,” she added.
A five-acre wetlands area at the back of the property could generate income from peat sales. More than 18 acres currently used as horse pasture could be converted into farmland.
The four bedroom, four bath luxury home at the center of the property offers 3,847 square feet of living space with tray ceilings, crown molding, oversized rooms, solid custom wood floors, built-in shelving units, two pantries, double built-in ovens, commercial grade ice machine and upscale appliances.
Two additional oversized storage rooms could be converted into guest rooms or an exercise room.
A well-built, 2,400 square foot barn near the main house could easily be converted to a guest house, workroom or man cave.

Impending SBA 7(A) Loan Cap Doesn’t Affect Mercantile Capital SBA 504 Loans
Altamonte Springs, Fla. – U.S. Small Business Administration funds for small business owners who want to acquire or develop their own facilities under the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 504 loan program aren’t in danger of drying up anytime soon, says one of the nation’s leading providers of SBA 504 loans.
Chris Hurn, chief executive officer of Mercantile Capital Corporation in Altamonte Springs, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Florida National Bank, said funding levels for the SBA 504 loans program are more than adequate.
SBA administrators fear that funding for SBA 7(A) loans, which can be used to buy a business, equipment, working capital and building or expanding a business, may reach its limit of funds available to guaranty loans before the end of fiscal year Sept. 30. They are urging Congress to expand funding for the program before their August recess.
The SBA 504 loan program provides low interest loans for up to 90 percent of the value of facility construction, acquisition and improvements with as little as 10 percent down, Hurn said.
“SBA 504 loans are one of the real bright spots in the U.S. economy right now,” Hurn said.
Additional information about Mercantile’s new SBA 504 refinance program is available by calling (866) 622-4504, visiting www.SBA504LoanRefi.com, or www.YouTube.com/504LoanExperts.
