Working with a Specialist

“The Disney World market in 2025 is a mature market. The Universal Orlando market — specifically the Epic Universe demand corridor — is where the Disney World market was in 2011 when the Wizarding World of Harry Potter first opened. Buyers who entered the Disney World STR corridor between 2009 and 2012 achieved 80–150% appreciation over the following decade. The Epic Universe opening is the equivalent catalyst. The first-mover window in the Universal Orlando market is open now.”
