Your Orlando Downtown Condo is not selling and you have questions why it hasn't sold.   There are many reasons that Condos do not sell in Orlando.   Let's review some of these reasons:

LOCATION

It may be more difficult to attract buyers to a Downtown Orlando Condo if the location has challenges, such as street noise, poor views, or is in an area that is perceived to be unpopular.  If your condo has location challenges, you want to be sure it is priced aggressively and is superbly staged.

FLOOR PLAN

Most condo buildings have a few units that have poorly thought-out floor plans, or are older condos that don't reflect today's lifestyle.  Some of the reasons why floorplans are undesirable may include:         

• Poor flow      
• Limited closet and storage space       
• Small Rooms        
• Lack of natural light         
• Unattractive views         
• No in-unit laundry facilties        
• Limited perks - gym, pool, etc.

In the past these condos sold easily, but in today's market they require that  pricing and staging are given a great deal of attention.

THE CONDO IS PRICED TOO HIGH

The real estate mantra "location, location, location" has been replaced by "price, price, price". As noted above, location is important, but the location and other issues can be overcome by correctly pricing your unit.  There are negative aspects of over-pricing:

• If a condo is on the market too long it may give prospective buyers the impression that something must be wrong with the unit.
• You lose buyers that should be looking at your home, but pass on it because it doesn't fall within their target range.
• Many sellers price higher than the price they really want in the belief that they will have to reduce the price in the negotiations, but in reality this strategy often limits the pool of buyers.  Remember, that in order to negotiate, you must first have an offer.  If you price too high, there may be no offer to negotiate.

INTERVIEWING A CONDOMINIUM BOARD

When you buy a condo, you will join the Home Owners Association.  An HOA is comprised of all the owners of the units who establish and administer the rules and regulations that will be observed.  These rules and regulations cover a variety of areas, but it is important for you do know from the beginning what they are and how they may affect you now and in the future.

When you have narrowed your condo choices down it is important that you take the time and effort to carefully review they by-laws and ask the necessary questions to determine which condo association fits your expectations.  It just may make that final decision an easier one to make.  Your lawyer can assist you if you have questions.

Condominiums can run into trouble if a number of units are facing foreclosure or there are members no paying the HOA dues.  When this happens financial reserves are depleted resulting in insufficient funds to finance the day-to day operation of the condo or complete important major upgrades that have been planned.  This has occurred in some areas across the country.
