On this week’s episode, Luke Carl dives into the Disney market in Orlando and Kissimmee with Mike from The Short Term Shop, breaking down current inventory trends, pricing shifts, and where real deals can still be found . They discuss how appropriately priced properties are moving, why many 2022 buyers are struggling to sell, and what separates a high-performing, well-themed vacation rental from one that’s leaving money on the table. From million-dollar Story Lake homes to value-add townhomes in Lakaya, the conversation highlights how buying right, financing right, and managing right can still create opportunity in today’s market.

On this week’s episode of the series, Luke Carl sits down with Mike from The Short Term Shop to break down the Disney/Orlando STR scene—why many families look off-property, what Windsor Hills offers, and how to weigh value versus perks. They touch on stabilized pricing and inventory, why clean and well-kept beats expensive over-the-top theming, and how realistic offers are getting accepted (including a recent six-bedroom townhome that closed well under ask).
