🚨 UNDER CONTRACT in ChampionsGate Resort! 🏝️✨

Another incredible Central Florida vacation home is officially under contract — and I’m excited to be representing the buyer on this one! 🎉

This rare corner-unit townhome in Champions Club at ChampionsGate checked all the boxes:
✅ 5 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms
✅ Fully Furnished & Turnkey
✅ Active Short-Term Rental
✅ Private Splash Pool
✅ Premium Corner Position
✅ Minutes to Walt Disney World & Universal Orlando

Not all vacation homes are created equal — and this one stood out immediately with extra natural light, added privacy, nearly 2,168 sq. ft. of beautifully designed living space, and strong short-term rental appeal in one of Orlando’s most sought-after resort communities. 🌴☀️

The open-concept design, modern kitchen with quartz countertops, spacious gathering areas, and screened lanai create exactly the kind of Florida lifestyle today’s buyers and guests are searching for. Add in access to the Oasis Club amenities — lazy river, resort pool, waterslide, tiki bar, fitness center, movie theater, tennis, and 24-hour guard gate — and it’s easy to see why ChampionsGate continues to attract both investors and vacation home buyers from around the world. 🌊🍹🎬

Congratulations to my buyers on securing this fantastic property! 🙌
Now let’s hope for a smooth closing and a successful next chapter ahead. ✨

This Week Near Disney: Fresh Listings, Big Price Cuts & Distressed Deals

Disney-Area Investors — This Week's Market Snapshot

🏡The Orlando STR market is in a more interesting spot than it's been in years.Median home prices have corrected roughly 7.9% year-over-year (down to ~$378K metro-wide), giving investors lower entry points than we've seen since 2023. Meanwhile, the fundamentals haven't moved an inch — Central Florida added nearly 38,000 new residents in 2025, and Disney and Universal continue to pull 80M+ visitors a year.

Well-located short-term rental homes near the parks are still posting strong occupancy and premium nightly rates.

Softer prices. Motivated sellers. Demand that isn't going anywhere. That's a window, not a trend. I've put together three lists this week for investor buyers:

🏡 New Listings — Past 7 days in STR-approved communities (Reunion, ChampionsGate, Storey Lake, Windsor Hills, Solara, Encore & more)

📉 Biggest Price Reductions — Past 7 days. Some sellers are dropping $25K–$75K+ off original list. This is where the real opportunity hides.

🏦 Bank-Owned, Foreclosures & Short Sales — Currently active. Thin inventory, but worth knowing about. These move fast and usually need a cash or fast-close buyer.

📩 Want any (or all) of the three lists?

📈 Attention high-income earners: there's a window opening on Orlando investment properties.

The 2025 tax law brought back 100% bonus depreciation for short-term rental owners — and most buyers (and even some CPAs) haven't fully caught up to what it could mean for a vacation home purchase near Walt Disney World.

For the right buyer, it can meaningfully change the math on owning an income-producing property in one of the country's strongest short-term rental markets.

I'm Susan Benante, REALTOR®. I specialize in STR-approved vacation homes near Walt Disney World — the communities, the rules, the homes that actually book.

Tell me a little about what you're looking for, and I'll personally send you my Orlando Short-Term Rental Buyer's Guide:

✔ The 7 STR-approved communities near Disney (and what each is best for)
✔ How the new tax law factors in — and the questions to bring to your CPA
✔ What to look for in an income-producing vacation home
Bring the guide to your CPA. Bring your questions to me.

When I post market updates, new listings, buyer tips, investment ideas, or things happening around Orlando real estate, don’t just scroll past them. Use the information.

Every day I talk to buyers, sellers, investors, builders, and people relocating here, so a lot of what I share comes from real conversations and what I’m actually seeing happen right now.

Whether you’re thinking about:

• moving to Florida
• buying near Disney
• investing in a vacation home
• selling your property
• or just trying to figure out what the market is doing

I try to share things that are actually helpful and relevant.

And honestly, a lot of people follow me quietly for months before they finally actually message me.

We don’t have to make any decisions today. I’d just love the opportunity to start the conversation and better understand your goals. Contact me as soon as you can so we can discuss your options, answer any questions, and see what may make the most sense for you moving forward.

And if you know someone thinking about buying or selling in the Orlando area, I’d really appreciate you sharing my page or sending them my way.

Thank you to everyone who supports my business here. It means a lot more than you probably realize.

There’s a conversation I have with almost every buyer who’s been “waiting for the right time” to buy in Orlando…

People wait for interest rates to drop.

People wait for the market to change.

People wait because it feels safer to do nothing.

And I completely understand that.

But here’s what many buyers don’t realize:

Waiting often has a real cost.

While you wait, you could be:

• Missing out on today’s buyer’s market opportunities

• Paying rent that builds someone else’s equity

• Missing potential tax deductions and homeowner benefits

• Losing negotiating power if demand rises again

• Delaying long-term equity growth

• Missing Orlando vacation home and investment opportunities

Right now, buyers are seeing:

• More inventory

• Less competition

• Better negotiating opportunities

• More choices than we’ve seen in quite some time

I’m not saying everyone should buy right now.

I’m saying most people never actually run the numbers on what waiting may truly cost them.

If you’ve been thinking about buying, relocating, investing, or purchasing a vacation home near Disney, let’s talk through your specific situation so you can make an informed decision with clarity and confidence.

Call or text me at (407) 259-6211.
