IS IT TIME TO CLIMB OFF THE FENCE ?

August 12th, 2008 4:28 PM

In the recent past, homes were selling so fast that prospective buyers did not have time to make an offer ... communities of new homes were holding lotteries (remember those) and hopeful future home owners were camping out overnight to be the first in line when a development planned to open their gates. Times have changed !!! TO THE BUYER’S BENEFIT !!! This is the perfect market with a wide selection of choices, competitive pricing, easily negotiated seller contributions, and some GREAT PRICES ! Many homes are priced well below the median price for the area, and it is easy to find homes priced below market value because of unfortunate circumstances of the current homeowner. I just completed a computerized search of one zip code in the Tampa Bay area, I found more than 300 homes priced from $50,000 to $100,000. This was unheard of in the last few years. These are all exceptionally positive reasons to buy now. Find the affordable home you have always dreamed of, there is finally a choice for you. Call me for a real estate consultation, let's discuss your situation and find the right product for you. Shopping can be loads of fun ! especially with today's discounted pricing !

NEW HOMES IN THE TAMPA BAY AREA

August 20th, 2008 5:52 PM

I have been visiting some fabulous model home centers in the Tampa Bay area and I am pleased to see the various pricing incentives offered. Some of these models are featured on my website ... and I have noticed the new home prices to be in a price range that I have not seen since 2000 and 2001 ! In one community, a 5 bedroom 2.5 bath home (to be built) with 2100+ hsf is being offered for under $170,000. Many builders are offering closing cost assistance for qualified buyers, others include upgrades in the base price, and/or reduced lot premiums. Now is a great time to be making your new home purchase. For those of you who have been planning for your future, and want to find the best deals, it is time to take advantage of the incentives being offered ! Please give me a call and we can visit properties in the various communities throughout the Tampa Bay area. This Realtor® is ready to help you find your new home!
