Question 1

Which school district serves Lake Mary?

Accepted Answer

Lake Mary is served by Seminole County Public Schools. School zoning is by address rather than by city, and boundaries are redrawn from time to time, so confirm the assigned schools for a specific property with the district before you write an offer — I will pull the current zoning for any address you are considering.

Question 2

Is Lake Mary a good place to buy right now?

Accepted Answer

That depends far more on your own timeline than on the market. If you are staying five years or more, the question worth asking is whether the specific house is sound and correctly priced, not whether the market is at a peak. If you are staying two years, the transaction costs matter more than anything else. Tell me which you are and I will give you a straight answer.

Question 3

What should I check on an older home in Lake Mary?

Accepted Answer

Roof age, the electrical panel, and any sign of water intrusion — in that order. Central Florida roofs work hard, insurers ask about them before they ask about anything else, and a roof near the end of its life changes what a house is worth. I hold a Certified Residential Building Contractor licence, so I can give you a read on all three before you write an offer rather than after the inspection comes back.
