Piedmont Lakes is a community of 429 single-family homes and four lakes: Lake Jackson, Lake McDade, Lake Piedmont and Lake Blue.

Piedmont Lakes is located in Apopka in the NW corner of Orange County, Florida just over the Seminole County line. It has two entrances located off of Piedmont Wekiwa Road and is located between SR 436 & Orange Blossom Trail, two major thoroughfares in the area. The community is also situated between I-4 & SR 429 for an easy commute to all parts of Central Florida.

Piedmont Lakes is a very desirable well-kept deed-restricted community. In other words, there is a Homeowners’ Association. The community offers a swimming pool, tennis courts as well as a ‘tot lot.’ There is shopping, dining, etc. all within minutes of this lovely community.

The first phase of the community was built in the late 80’s, with the last phase being completed in the late 90’s.

Piedmont Lakes is a great place to live! I should know – I’ve lived here for 12 years.

The following are the market sales statistics for Seminole County, Florida for November 2008.  For purposes of this analysis we are only splitting the data according to single-family homes vs, condominiums, townhomes and villas.

A couple of definitions are in order.The median sales price means that 50% of the homes sold for more and 50% of the homes sold for less during a certain period of time – in other words, it’s the midpoint of sale prices.So basically what this means, is that the median sales price is showing market activity in that it’s specifically indicating which price range is more active.

The average sales price, as opposed to the median sales price, is the total volume of sold properties divided by the number of properties sold.

The sales to list price ratio is just that, you’re dividing the average sales price by the average list price and coming up with a percentage that tells you how much of the list price the average homes sold for.

There needs to be a disclaimer here.  These stats are only as good as telling us what it being purchased and happening at a certain period in time.  Also, it needs to be fully understood that not only is real estate local, but it is hyper-local.  What this means is that the trends that we hear about are overall.  Let's put it this way, what's happening in one neighborhood, may not be realized in the neighborhood next door.

The following are the market sales statistics for Orange County, Florida for November 2008.  The major city in Orange County is Orlando.  For purposes of this analysis we are splitting the data according to single-family homes vs, condominiums, townhomes and villas.

A couple of definitions are in order.The median sales price means that 50% of the homes sold for more and 50% of the homes sold for less during a certain period of time – in other words, it’s the midpoint of sale prices.So basically what this means, is that the median sales price is showing market activity in that it’s specifically indicating which price range is more active.

The average sales price, as opposed to the median sales price, is the total volume of sold properties divided by the number of properties sold.

The sales to list price ratio is just that, you’re dividing the average sales price by the average list price and coming up with a percentage that tells you how much of the list price the average homes sold for.

There needs to be a disclaimer here.  These stats are only as good as telling us what it being purchased and happening at a certain period in time.  Also, it needs to be fully understood that not only is real estate local, but it is hyper-local.  What this means is that the trends that we hear about are overall.  Let's put it this way, what's happening in one neighborhood, may not be realized in the neighborhood next door.
