Orlando realtors are hopeful the housing market will flourish
Real estate agents in Orlando attribute the city’s growing reputation as an industrial center to the impressive setup of so many new businesses in one month. According to realtors in Orlando, even though Florida no longer provides moving incentives to entrepreneurs and businesses, the state’s economy and real estate market, in particular, have benefited from the slow but steady growth of the U.S. job market.
The tight supply of homes and improved interest rates for mortgages has improved the confidence of contractors as well as home buyers. As new housing settlements get chalked down, associated businesses begin setting up, and the two support each other simultaneously.
