We recently wrote about a new vacation home community opening up in the Davenport / Champions Gate area and an article in the Orlando Sentinel newspaper this week highlighted how busy the market for such homes has become. Builders have definitely seen an increase in demand and in particular they are reacting to a trend towards larger vacation homes containing 7, 8, 9 or even more bedrooms.
Current offerings that reflect this trend include Windsor at Waterside, Solterra, The Dales at West Haven and Championsgate, and the article begins with a little history:
Gutted with foreclosures during the downturn, Orlando’s vacation-home market is making a comeback with big-name homebuilders rolling out neighborhoods of six-, seven- and eight-bedroom pool homes.
The communities, which are popping up within about 5 miles of the Walt Disney World area, come with resort-style lazy rivers, water guns, water slides and Tiki bars.
Whether you are a buyer, seller or just an owner of vacation homes, it makes interesting reading – see the whole thing here.
