While the Florida market teems with an oversupply of homes and the pound remains strong, there has never been a better opportunity for UK real estate buyers to snatch up bargain Orlando dream homes.  Our team at British Homes Group has helped hundreds of British families find vacation homes in Florida over the years.  With the pound at a 26 year high, the Brits have a significant advantage over US buyers who are not only faced with trying to afford a home but also with a difficult mortgage market.  Developers in Florida notoriously over-built, which means that there is a ton of inventory up for grabs.  The economy remains strong with healthy job growth, so this is a great area to invest in as the market will likely level when the inventory wanes.  For now, sellers are highly motivated are bargains are available for the savvy investor. 

If buying real estate overseas seems a daunting process, don’t worry – our team at British Homes Group can help.  We guarantee impartial, professional advice on the current Florida market, on sales and mortgages and much more.  Our goal is to provide the UK real estate buyer with a completely hassle free transaction.

According to some UK overseas property websites, Orlando, Florida remains a favorite for British real estate investors.  Approximately 80% of Britons purchasing real estate continue to focus on Florida vacation homes.  Experts say that inquiries for other coastal areas of Florida have increased however.  This may be due to the fact the Florida beachfront properties have become more affordable in the last year.  Some properties have shown as much as a 25% reduction as compared to one year ago.  Gulf coast areas like Fort Myers have been attracting more attention. 

Orlando still tops the list as buy to let properties in the four county Disney area are perfect for family vacation getaways and short term rental properties.  The Orlando tourism economy remains strong despite the overall US slowdown.  With Disney as an anchor, there is little fear that real estate sales in this area won’t pick soon. 

California and New York are also getting nods from the Brits – with many homes priced at a bargain and the Sterling at record lows, US vacation homes in many areas are well within reach.
