The Worst is Over...Now's the Time to Buy!

I know, I am a realtor, you expect me to say this. But here me out. Interest Rates are down again, there is more inventory on the market so you have a much better choice of homes out there, and sellers are more likely to give you a better deal because there is more competition. Our market center has seen a jump in sales lately, my investors in the Miami area are seeing an increase of sales in the last month, and just south of me, Fort Myers, is seeing an increase in Buyer activity.

It seems that some people are seeing the light and re-entering the market. So why wait. The Tampa market has seen a stable market, prices did not slip like other markets because the property values, although they did increase substantially since 2000, did not go crazy enough to be considered overpriced. We are now in line with the rest of the country.

So if you are looking for a great quality of life, warm weather year round (pretty much), great beaches, great fishing, great golf, and great food....Look no further, Tampa is the place.
