ORLANDO, Fla. – April 12, 2007 – Central Florida real estate professionals are leading the charge to attract Europeans to the area as both vacation and full-time homeowners.
The British infatuation with Central Florida is obvious – more than 8,000 people from the United Kingdom own homes in the area. But the rest of Europe – including France, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany and Russia – is an untapped market that practitioners are only beginning to exploit.
George Wanberg, a RE/MAX associate, was recently part of a two-person team that participated in the Second Home International exposition in Utrecht, Holland. The expo attracted more than 10,000 potential homebuyers throughout Northern Europe.
Wanberg said he returned from the Holland show with 39 solid prospects. The area is attractive to potential buyers because Central Florida is viewed as a bargain, compared to what Northern Europeans are used to paying for real estate and related expenses.
