Analysts project a price growth of approximately 5.69 percent and sales growth of 6.1 percent. This means that Orlando home values will increase nicely in 2017.

A closer look at each of these communities reveals why they are especially appealing to buyers and why they should be considered when looking at where to purchase a home in 2017.

Thornton Park (Downtown Orlando)

Beautiful Thornton Park is a “must” destination for lovers of the arts and community festivals.

If you want to enjoy a spirit of community, unique shops and fine dining, then Thornton Park may be the neighborhood for you. Thornton Park real estate has experience positive growth since mid 2012 and only a 3.3% increase in 2016 compared to 2015. With a blend of historic homes and newly constructed luxury condominiums, Thornton Park has a property type for everyone. We predict that Thornton Park real estate values will increase 12% over the next year.

Oviedo

Several national publications consistently rank Oviedo as one of the best places in America to raise a family. This community boasts small-town charm in the midst of the metropolitan area. People who move here can expect A rated schools and quiet neighborhoods that are rarely troubled by crime.

It’s difficult to beat Winter Park’s Park Avenue when it comes to festivals and community events. Locals really love to take advantage of the nightlife and the wealth of restaurants and shops. A thriving arts community keeps things hopping too. The median closing price on properties in Winter Park is about $248,000, making it an affordable alternative.
