VACATION MARKET HEATS UP
After being battered during the housing bust, the vacation-home market is showing signs of life. Reports of bidding wars are trickling out of some of the locales that bore the brunt of the housing bust.  This is absolutely happening here in Orlando and surrounding areas.  If you are a cash buyer you will win out over someone who has a financing offer.  The vacation market took a beating here and is on the way back up.  That second home or vacation home will never be this cheap again.  If you are thinking of having a place in the sun this is the time.

Realtor.com: Spring buying season shows promise

Orlando Inventory total is down to 8666 units for sale.  Choices are reducing for buyers.

Some of the metros in states hit hardest by foreclosures — California, Arizona and Florida — saw the highest drop in for-sale listings over the last year.

The Oakland, Calif., metro area tops the list with a 52 percent year-over-year drop in housing inventory. Not too far away, geographically speaking, the Bakersfield, Calif., metro stands at No. 2 with a 50 percent drop in inventory for the year. Phoenix, Fresno, Calif., and Miami round out the top five, respectively.

The other metros in the top 10, in order, are:

• Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
• Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash.
• Atlanta
• Orlando, Fla.
• Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash.

As a sign of a shift in the housing market, none of this March’s year-over-year top 10 metros for for-sale listings drops were in last year’s top 10, when Shreveport-Bossier City, La., topped the list with a 47 percent drop, followed by Grand Rapids-Muskegon-Holland, Mich., and Fort Myers-Cape Coral, Fla., respectively.
