With the recent economic downturn, real estate brokers have been challenged to find innovative ways to meet the needs of their clients. Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty has proven to be a market leader, rising to the challenge through its Auction Services division. Real estate auctions are a win-win opportunity for both buyer and seller, meeting the needs of both together in one place. While auctions are often associated with distressed properties, Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty focuses on luxury homes, often brand new builder closeouts and prime estate lots. Recent auctions have included waterfront condominiums and million-dollar custom homes.

On Saturday, May 16th, at 10:00 am, Stirling Sotheby’s will host an auction on site at Blue Spring Reserve, a gated community near Orlando, just off the Florida Turnpike.

The National Association of Realtors reported pending home sales for the month of March up 3.2% against forecasts that predicted the number to remain unchanged. In the South, this number rose 8.5%, higher than the national average and up 7.7% from this time last year. With the recent $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers, record-low mortgage rates and housing more affordable than recent years, today’s data suggests the public is responding to favorable home-buying conditions and could signal a stabilization of the real estate market.

Real estate auctions provide some of the best opportunities to buy low and sell high. Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty is on the forefront of this real estate marketing trend, offering luxury homes and estate lots for sale with starting bids at significant discounts from former retail prices.

On Saturday, May 16, 2009, at 10:00 a.m., Stirling Sotheby’s Auction Services will offer one luxury estate home and twenty-eight estate home sites in beautiful Lake County near the Florida Turnpike and Orlando’s attraction and resort area. Preview the properties online or call toll free 800-944-2592 for more information. International bidders and buyer’s agents are welcome to participate.
