Life of Real Estate Agents in Tampa, Florida

-

In the blogging world, we try to provide facts and interesting articles for our viewers so that you might find helpful information to satisfy your interest in following us.

SI Real Estate’s expertise is in real estate here in sunny Tampa, Florida. We feel it is important to inform our clients, associates, and customers that the real estate market in Tampa has a new trend, we no longer have over a year’s worth of inventory. As a buyer client, if you find a home you like, buy it before others start bidding.

Instead of quoting a good article or just cold facts we have been following in the real estate market, we decided to give you a real insight into what our company’s valued agents experience on a daily basis here in Tampa. As we all know, real estate is a local industry. It varies greatly from one zip code, city, and state to another. We have agents in our geographic area every day looking for the properties that fits the criteria and wish lists of their customers. What they see on a weekly basis may surprise you. Homes that hit the market at the right price, in good condition are going within days of being listed for sale. Furthermore, the properties worth buying frequently have anywhere from 2-20 offers on them. Not kidding.

If you are serious about finding a “good deal”, a good home, they are out there! They don’t have to be a short sale or bank owned property either. Buyers that plan on moving into the property they purchase want a home in good livable condition. This leads to bidding wars of eager homebuyers who too have found the place they imagine calling home. We cannot tell you how many times the listing agents and sellers respond to an offer by advising the buyer, “to give me your highest and best offer”.

Our advice for homebuyers, sellers, and investors is to establish your criteria for your real estate goals. This includes: price point, location, square feet, upgrades desired. Then list of what you are willing to comprise on. We can help you find what you want. If there is a limiting factor decide what is a deal breaker and stick to it. If you walk in a home and it meets your criteria and you love it, DO NOT WAIT! If you love it, act on it. Chances are others will deliver offers simultaneously. If a property is priced right, respect that and don’t lose your dream home.

If you are ready to discuss your options about buying, selling, or even renting call SI Real Estate to work with a professional who will listen to your needs. We can be reached at (813)631-5144 or email us at Yourhome@SIRealEstateInvestments.com.

A hot topic for potential homebuyers is, should I look Foreclosures, existing older homes, or New Construction? The hype lately seems to be on Short sales and Foreclosures. Bank owned properties are being snatched up by cash investors and we hear of bidding wars everyday in Tampa over bank owned properties. Investors have money to spend, and no desire to occupy the property personally, they can fix any issues that arise with no problems. It is very enticing for a buyer to see large discounts foreclosed and short sales but what else does a buyer need to consider when deciding on purchasing a home? SI Real Estate has helped three clients purchase a new Construction home in the last two weeks.

Tampa Real Estate Hot Topic: Mortgage Rate Predictions for 2013

Last week we discussed the importance of understanding the effects that rising home prices have on mortgage rates and the buying power of consumers in the market to both buy and sell.   The recent mortgage rate activity has caught the attention of the nation, and of course our local Florida real estate market.     Since May 2013, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage rose from approximately 3.3% to 4.87% according to Freddie Mac.   Executive vice president of McCue Mortgage, Kim Neilson, states that the market hasn’t seen an increase of this magnitude in years.   Despite the recent jump, however, rates are expected to remain steady between 4-5% throughout the remainder of 2013.   There are two main reasons for this situation on the market. Firstly, the Federal Reserve chairman Fred Bernanke indicated in mid-June that he might slow down the purchase of mortgage-backed bonds. These were designed to strengthen the secondary market for lenders and ...
