Finding The Best “Deal” in the Tampa Real Estate Market…It’s Usually Not About Price

THE LATEST NEWS ON THE TAMPA REAL ESTATE MARKET, BUYING A HOME IN TAMPA, AND REAL ESTATE ISSUES AROUND THE WORLD, EVERY DAY, ON THE REAL ESTATE SIZZLE.

 

 

I have received many inquiries lately, about where to find a bargain in the Tampa Bay Real Estate Market or in Clearwater Beach Real Estate. Foreign, and out-of-state investors, are inquiring about where the deals are. I tampahouseoverheard a conversation in a restaurant the other day where a man was counseling a homebuyer to look in the South Shore area, where they are auctioning new homes in a certain community at bargain prices. I felt compelled to advise the buyer that, yes, those prices are a bargain, but there is currently an inventory of homes in that area lasting several yearshence the low prices. It really is all about supply and demand . This is the time of year when families are relocating. Low prices may look attractive, but buying a home in a highly-rated school district and a neighborhood that is consistently desirable for resale, should be the top considerations.

 

I told him that a true bargain is a well-priced home in a desirable neighborhood with top-rated schools. Pleasetake your time and you will find the right home , I said.

As a professional real estate agent who enjoys a substantial referral business from previous clients, I focus on RESALE for my clients, when they are considering a purchase. In this market, it is very frustrating to see, and hear, about agents who are focused on selling, just to sell . Or, buyers who are so focused on price reductions and bargains without really understanding the amount of inventory in each neighborhood, and whether, or not, that property is truly a great deal .

If you are looking for a home in the Tampa Bay area, or looking for an investment property in Tampa, PLEASE consult an experienced, ethical, professional real estate agent. A bargain isnt always the bargain it appears to be! Dont navigate the waters in this market without expert assistancethat does not mean your spouse, brother, neighbor or friend.Call an Experienced Real Estate Agent who knows the facts, and sales figures, for each individual neighborhood.
