ORLANDO – (Sept. 2, 2008) – We are pleased to present our first Metro Orlando Luxury Real Estate Report prepared by ERA® Williams Real Estate Group. A web search on luxury real estate will yield an endless number of advertisements for high-end homes throughout the United States or general information about the luxury markets in their entirety, but little definitive information. We were motivated to prepare this report by our perceived need for more specific information about this fascinating sector of Central Florida’s real estate market.Defining the luxury market as a single-family home with a sales price of one million dollars or above, our report provides an overview of Metro Orlando’s luxury real estate market for the counties of Orange, Seminole, Osceola, and Lake. After analyzing the attributes of sales volume, price, amenities, and location we have included a discussion on the factors that fuel demand. We have also included information on the most recent global luxury real estate sales. It is our hope that through the publication of our Metro Orlando Luxury Real Estate report we have provided the luxury of knowledge about this fascinating sector of Central Florida’s real estate market.Click here to view the full report.Charlotte Williams, President407-658-2020 Ext. 102 charlotte.williams (at) ERA.comAmanda Gifol, Vice President-Marketing407-658-2020 Ext. 104amanda.gifol (at) ERA.comERA® Franchise Systems LLC is a global leader in the residential real estate industry with more than 30 years experience in developing consumer-oriented products and services.
