Drum Roll Please
RTRs CRYSTAL BALL
Here it is, more dependable than Nostradamus…. for well over 2 decades RTR has dominated the Winter Garden local real estate market. So much in fact that the 2nd closest Realtor in closed sales on the ORRA MLS is over $100,000,000 behind in closed volume. That’s not even close.
Without any further delays RTR ARMY, here is what RTR predicts to happen in 2024
Since so many uncontrollable factors resulted in a “flat” year-to-year market for Winter Garden, going to double down on the previous year’s projections. With this stated, I feel we will see a large uptick in inventory in the 2nd quarter and if interest rates get to even very low 6’s I predict our closed unit volume to increase by at least 50% of the 2024 tally.

SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS ON WINTER GARDEN FROM RTR
For those not familiar with this area, let’s break it down like it has never been broken down.
Winter Garden is a real estate market like no other, it is a tale of really 3 cities, and it is MASSIVE. Each of the 3 prongs of the trident are so different and it is what makes this area so incredible and why RTR has devoted over half his life promoting and selling 34787. It offers something for literally anyone and everyone, regardless of lifestyle or life goals.
The Downtown historic golf cart district offers something not found in many places of Central Florida… WALKABILITY. Small town charm, older homes with majestic oaks, each with its own storied history and the famous Plant Street business district. One of the most incredible Farmers Markets in the country and countless shopping and dining options in every direction.
Then what I like to call the boom era.
This is the countless tract home communities that exploded on the scene from 2000-2010 with development and building 34787 never experienced, Well over doubling the population of the city with the opening of the 429 expressway. With it the Winter Garden Village and big-name retail flooded the area, creating a quality of life not experienced in this area. Before this explosion, residents had few options for shopping and dining in the immediate area. This boom also led to the rejuvenation of the golf cart district that was referred to as the other side of the tracks for quite some time.
The Horizons West area.
Exploding on the scene after the brakes were pumped in the 2008-2012 real estate turmoil. This area of Winter Garden has doubled the population yet again. The development is neck breaking and the options and choices for buyers looking to buy BRAND NEW have never been greater. With the majority of these sales not even being recorded in the ORRA MLS, you can only imagine what the impact will be on the area’s headlines when resales start popping up. These newer homes will carry a higher $/ft than homes 20 years older typically. You truly have to keep this in mind when dealing with this unique Winter Garden real estate market. I never see anyone taking this into account, but like I always say. you have to be odd to be number 1.
Being the neighbor to the State’s Largest single employer has always helped the Winter Garden area and this will continue.

Closing Words
The resale market is always the most sensitive to drastic interest rate fluctuations, This will be no different in 2024.
If you are planning on buying… now is the time if you are lucky enough to find something in this low inventory environment. Sellers are currently still open to offers and creative terms to sell their homes as days on the market have climbed almost 50%.
Florida as a whole will continue to grow in population every year as our country’s baby boomers continue to retire to the sunshine state.
The weather, economic, and tax policies of the state are all still driving forces in Florida’s desirability. The state’s policies on personal freedom and adhering to the constitution have been significant contributors to the historic spike in valuation and activity in the real estate market.
Winter Garden has and will continue to outpace the National real estate metric averages as well as many local areas as well.
