Relocating? Snowbird? Retiree? Tampa Bay Real Estate is Calling Your Name

It is predicted that close to 13 million baby boomers will become Florida residents between now and 2023. These future buyers will begin home hunting, and the Tampa Bay area is one of the most attractive places to purchase. We have already seen a 22% increase in homes sold over the last two months compared to last year’s sale’s numbers. An increase is always nice to see, but another interesting statistic to point out would be the 32% decrease in unsold homes in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco counties. A clear sign that sales volume is up, and home inventory is falling. If you are looking to move due to a change in job status or simply wanting to start fresh, Tampa Bay offers great incentives to relocate.
