  There were 86 Single Family Homes Sold in Clermont Florida (Zip Code 34711) in December 2012. Another good month for traditional sales. The non distressed sale continues to dominate the Clermont Florida Real Estate Market. If you look at the stats below, traditinal sales also went up in price as well. The market is continuing to move to a sellers market. REO/Bank Owned sales continues a downward trend, which is very good for the traditional seller. Closed Short Sales stayed pretty steady. With the Debt Forgiveness Act Extended, I look for short sales to slow down a bit due to lenders not being under pressure now to close them as fast.

Today was kind of a slow day, so I decided to just drive around Clermont Florida and enjoy the winter (well I say winter, I was actually in jeans and a tshirt) weather. I took a few pictures while I was out. Hope you enjoy them.   This is Lake Minneola. One of several lakes in the Clermont Chain of Lakes. The tall white thing you see sticking up is the Citrus Tower. It was one of Lake County's first "attraction". The white sandy area to the right is Jaycee Beach. There they have grills for cooking out, playground, volleyball nets and a covered pavilion. The Clermont Trail, which has 26 miles and runs to Apopka, starts right around here.   This picture just makes me smile. I love Clermont and the lakes we get to enjoy. So peaceful. There is so much blue in this picture that it almost doe... 12/27/2012

 The smallest Grinches can be the Grinchiest   How The Grinch Stole Clermont's Gifts The smallest Grinches can be the Grinchiest   As many of you might have already heard...or seen, folks here in the Clermont area have fallen victim to a real-life Grinch. This is no sympathetic, Seussian-type Grinch, either- rather a neighborhood kid heading down thuggery's road unless someone steps in to keep things in check.   Note to you, Clermont Police and Lake County Sheriff's Department: all of our "big" thieves got their start somewhere, too.   On a side note: Can we get rid of the ridiculous "alleged"? If I see a little Grinch of a kid stealing packages, I'm calling her a little Grinchy kid that steals packages- no "alleged" to it! The smallest Grinches can be the Grinchiest 12/23/2012

Is Clermont Florida a safe area? I hear it all the time. I also hear "is this place a safe area". "Is that place a safe area". I understand your concerns. If I was moving to a new area, I would want to know those answers as well. However, I can't tell you if an area is safe or not. Even if I could, I probably wouldn't. Some things, you just have to do the research yourself. What is safe to me, might not be safe to you. Also, I might think an area is safe one day and then something happens the next day.  So, what can YOU do to find out if an area is safe. RESEARCH. Simple as that. Here are a few ways to help you with your research.   1.) Clermont Florida Crime Map- Click this link and put in the address of the house your are interested in. (I don't guarantee the accuracy of this website,... 12/16/2012

The South Lake Historical Society will be giving lantern tours of the decorated houses of the Historic Village in Clermont. Let me try and read your mind. First, you probably thought, "We have a Historic Village In Clermont?". Secondly, you probably heard "lantern tour" and thought of this:   Come on people, it's Christmas, don't think like that. Well, I guess this could be the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present or Future. Nevertheless, I can assure you...well, almost assure you that the lantern tours will not have a ghost. Anyways, let's get back on track. This post is going nowhere...FAST!! The South Lake Historical Society runs the Historic Village in Clermont. The Historic Village consists of the train depot (built in 1925), Kern House, Townsend House, Cooper Library and the Quonset H... 12/13/2012

Nice picture right? Wouldn't it be nicer if this was your back yard? With your boat or sea doo? Can you imagine all of the great family activities that you would enjoy out on the water? One of the great things about living in Clermont is that we have a ton of lakes. What does a ton of lakes mean for you? It means that we have a lot of homes that are on lakes. What lake do you want to live on? Lake Minneola? Lake Susan? Lake Louisa? Lake Minnehaha? Lake Winona? Lake Hiawatha? Lake Palatlakaha? In some communities, where they have one or two lakes, lakefront homes are extremely expensive. Here in Clermont, they are a little bit more affordable. If you can't find a lakefront home in Clermont that you like, try the surrounding areas: Minneola, Groveland or maybe even Leesburg. Bottom line,... 12/13/2012

I have decided to do a series of low cost things you can do to "spruce up your home". In order to get top dollar for your home, you don't always have to do a huge renovation or even spend a ton of money. Sometimes, just doing a few minor things can make a world of difference in your home.     Low Cost Ways To Spruce Up Your Home: #2 Renuzit How many of you have walked into a house or had a client walk into a house, take a quick sniff and immediately walk out without even seeing what else the house has to offer?   I've had clients do that. Quite honestly, I don't blame them. Smell can easily make or break a deal. You can have the greatest house in the world, but if it flat out stinks, you may not get the price you want for it. On the flip side, you might have the ugliest house in the wor... 12/03/2012
