-
This week in Real Estate news, Foreign Investment is up! The Moscow Times, a premiere English speaking newspaper in Russia, has reported a surge in the amount of money flowing into Florida’s market. Primarily due to attractive currency exchange rates, Miami and Tampa Bay are benefiting from the weakened dollar. Tampa Bay real estate markets are appealing in the global real estate arena. Specific properties like Cordoba Beach Park, Courtney Palms, Grand Central, , Hyde Park and SOHO areas are popular pockets within Tampa Bay. Waterfront Luxury Real Estate in Mira Bay never loses it’s appeal. New Tampa, the USF and University of Tampa area are all feeling the positive effects of booming foreign investment.

Tampa boasts many world-class attractions: Busch Gardens, Historic Ybor City, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Lightning, 3 Super Bowl contests, fine dining, and superb shopping. These qualities have made the Bay Area a desirable location for investment dollars.

Much of Florida’s international popularity stems from our Award winning Beaches in Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Fort DeSoto. Tampa’s proximity to world renowned attractions like Disney World, Universal Studios and the greater Orlando area put us in a prime position for global investors.
