There’s one in every neighborhood – the home people stop and linger in front of, for just a moment, as they take their daily stroll. It’s “the pretty house.” Sure, it’s basically the same house the builder constructed throughout the neighborhood, but this one is different; it has “Curb Appeal.”

In this issue of Florida Homebuyer Orlando we’ll talk to John Gidding, host of HGTV’s Curb Appeal: The Block. John will offer tips and tricks on how to make your home stand out and he’ll share before and after photos of some amazing transformations. 

Check out the story in this issue, then be sure to join John at the Orlando Home Show, slated for Oct. 22-24 at the Orange County Convention Center.

We’ll also take you back to Lake Nona for an update on the transformation of the once rural enclave in East Orange County into a 600-acre, world-class medical and research center. The construction cranes dotting the Lake Nona skyline mean that Medical City is well on the way to making Central Florida history.

Florida’s fabulous fall weather is the perfect time to get out and explore new-home communities, and in this issue you will find some of our favorites. And to help make your decision on which house is going to become your home, be sure to take our New Homebuyer’s Workbook with you. It is chock full of helpful tips as well as checklists to make home buying a breeze.
