Home Prices Expected to Recover in 2008-Tampa, Fl
2007-07-25 13:56:00
Home Prices Expected to Recover in 2008 As Inventories Decline Says NAR Wednesday, July 11, 2007 - Home prices are expected to recover in 2008 with existing-home sales picking up late this year and new-home sales rising early next year, according to the latest forecast by the National Association of Realtors®. Lawrence Yun, NAR senior economist, said a good buyers’ market has evolved. “Buyers now have an overwhelming advantage given the wide selection of homes available in many markets,” he said. “But with profit margins coming under pressure, homebuilders will limit new construction well into 2008. This should help the overall inventory level to move steadily into a more balanced state.” Existing-home sales are expected to total 6.11 million this year and 6.37 million in 2008, down from 6.48 million last year. New-home sales are projected at 865,000 in 2007 and 878,000 next year, compared with 1.05 million in 2006. Housing starts, including multifamily units, are fo ...

Most Resilient U.S. Real Estate Markets-Tampa, Fl
2007-07-09 10:07:00
So which metro area markets stand the best chance of recovery, and when will that upturn occur? Bayshore Condo Drastically Reduced for quick sale Behind The Numbers Market corrections follow three basic recovery patterns. A V-shaped recovery where a market experiences a sharp, fast decline but comes out strong once it hits bottom; a U-shaped recovery, where prices decline gradually and recover slowly; and an L-shaped curve, a hard, fast fall with paltry price bounceback following the market trough.The differences between a V-shaped market and a U-shaped one has to do with barriers to growth. High vacancy rates and high investor share can hurt a market, but if the local economy remains strong and housing stock affordable it's only a matter of how long it takes to absorb the excess inventory.Tampa is a perfect candidate for a V-shaped recovery, according to research from Moody's Economy.com, an economic analysis, forecasting and credit risk firm. The local economy remains strong, and s ...

Where to watch the fireworks in Tampa-Channelside District
2007-06-22 15:20:00
Buzz down to Tampa's Channelside District to toast the Fourth of July. At 9PM, you'll get the chance to see one of the region's most spectacular fireworks displays exploding in a blur of color and sound over Old Hillsborough Bay. Enough visitors flock to Channelside ahead of time -- to down a few drinks at Margarita Mama's, or enjoy dinner at Stump's Supper Club -- to give the big night a decidedly festive atmosphere. If you're traveling with the kids, you may want to take advantage of a special deal offered by the Florida Aquarium. On Independence Day, you can get in for only $10 a head. And the venue's Explore-A-Shore will stay open late, giving you a great view of the fireworks.While many revelers are thrilled to join the mobs in the Channelside District, this event is also great for those who enjoy a lower-key celebration. The fireworks are visible from much of South Tampa's Bayshore Boulevard. So, if you're a South Tampa resident who doesn't feel like bucking the crowds, ...
