Buying? Selling?
Market Trends
Buyer Tip: More negotiations possible; homes selling below list price are common. Consider leveraging increased inventory to find better value. Seller Tip: Price realistically—avoid overpricing. Expect longer time on market. Invest in staging or updates to stand out among options.
Serving Volusia County and Greater East-Central Florida
PROPERTIES FOR SALE
East Central Florida offers a variety of properties to suit every need. There are ocean and riverfront properties, residential neighborhoods, rural houses on large lots. There are also homes with a hangar for your airplane and those just a short drive to Orlando's theme parks.
This area also features many new or recently built developments that might be of interest. Among the top 10 states attracting new construction buyers, Florida draws significant attention, with approximately one in every eight new construction buyers opting to purchase their homes in the Sunshine State. Moreover, builders do not want to have unsold lots or spec homes, so prices and concessions frequently change.
Let us help you stay on top of the NEW construction market.
We have helped our buyers find great deals on brand new homes throughout Volusia County.

Pat Collado, Broker Owner of Collado Real Estate, is well known for having a work ethic that is second to none. Pat holds a degree in Marketing and Business from Penn State University’s Smeal College of Business. About 40 years ago, Pat moved to Florida to direct management and sales of multi-unit residential and commercial properties and train salespeople throughout the state. Upon starting a family in 1989, she made New Smyrna Beach home because of its quaint small-town feel, perfect year-round weather, and close proximity to major airports. Soon after, Pat was introduced to the local real estate industry and earned her Florida Real Estate License in 1996. Her passion for real estate quickly grew, and over the last 25 years, she has worked tirelessly to make a name for herself as the top-producing agent in New Smyrna Beach. In 2005, Pat founded Collado Real Estate; the largest local independent brokerage, and has employed hundreds of agents maintaining professionalism in this small seaside town. Pat Collado’s vast knowledge and experience reach out to a worldwide audience and allow her to guide her customers through the selling process with ease. She markets homes by keeping up with the newest technologies and market trends. Pat is determined to make each and every one of her transactions successful. She takes immense pride in the relationships she has crafted over the course of nearly 25 years in the business, and she is likely one of the hardest-working women you will meet!
