Central Florida Living – the Good News

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Everyone knows that central Florida is a great place to live. From the beaches on either side of the state to the Disney World theme park, a warm and sunny climate to numerous natural lakes, ponds, and rivers, the area beckons new residents and visitors alike. Although most people think of central Florida real estate as being most attractive to retired couples, the truth is this is a wonderful location for younger families and singles, too.

Whether you are looking for Orlando luxury homes for a primary residence or Lake Mary properties for a vacation destination, the truth is you can’t go wrong buying real estate in Florida’s central corridor. But if you need a bit of added incentive, we will remind you of the good news going on in the state periodically in this blog.The first piece of good news is a recent decrease in the rate of electricity for homeowners in Winter Park. That’s right – instead of going up like everything else, those who own Winter Park real estate are now finding lower electric bills in their mailboxes. The 4.5% decrease went into effect October 1st of this year. The director of the city’s electric utility department gives the credit to falling prices for fuel and is pleased to pass along this savings to customers. This trend is expected to continue in the next year or two.

Now isn’t that great news? In an economy that has been marked by nothing but a higher cost of goods, a lower real estate valuation, and an increasing loss of jobs, the ability to save money on a monthly bill is a real boon.
