Near Disney Real Estate Show: Weekly Market Update and Community Highlights

Hosts Elijah Lewis ("Prince of Real Estate") and Sue Copy ("Aurora") from Florida in Motion Realty present their weekly Near Disney real estate show, focusing on properties within a 25-mile radius of Cinderella's Castle. This episode combines real estate insights with local entertainment updates and practical homeowner advice.

Featured Property: Affordable Disney-Area Living The show highlights an exceptional $279,000 four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom townhome in Bridgewater Davenport, offering nearly 2,000 square feet just 20 minutes from Disney Springs and Magic Kingdom. Built in 2014, this property features modern finishes, water views from the primary bedroom balcony, garage parking, and HOA-maintained exteriors. This listing addresses the growing concern about starter home availability for millennials and Gen Z buyers in the Disney area market.

Disney and Universal Updates Test Track at Epcot has reopened after 13 months of extensive renovations, featuring 29,000 points of light demonstrating advanced car sensor technology, new music, updated scenes, and futuristic mobility themes. The 26-year-old attraction now offers glimpses into tomorrow's transportation cities. Additionally, Sue Copy shares her experience at Universal's Grand Helios hotel rooftop bar, praising the exceptional service, signature cocktails, and stunning park views with fireworks visibility from select suites.

Market Trends and Buyer Demographics Florida attracts approximately 1,500 new residents daily, with 60% of home buyers being millennials or Gen Z who heavily rely on social media for purchasing decisions. This demographic shift is reshaping Florida's real estate landscape, creating demand for affordable starter homes near popular destinations like Disney World.

Essential Florida Homeowner Maintenance The hosts provide a comprehensive seasonal maintenance checklist for Florida homeowners, including monthly tasks like AC filter changes and drain cleaning, spring preparations such as HVAC servicing and pressure washing, summer activities including fire ant treatment and sprinkler inspection, fall maintenance like dryer vent cleaning and attic moisture checks, and winter preparations for potential freezes. Annual tasks include full pest and roof inspections, insurance reviews, and emergency plan updates.

Community Engagement The show emphasizes viewer interaction, encouraging comments and questions while building personal connections with their audience. Regular viewer "Dune Buggy Jim" from Colorado is highlighted for his impressive Grinch and Chewbacca cosplay performances in the Celebration area, demonstrating the Disney spirit that attracts people to Central Florida.

This comprehensive episode successfully combines real estate expertise with local entertainment updates and practical homeowner guidance, serving both potential buyers and current residents in the Disney area market.
