Real Estate Pulse: Continued Growth for 2012

Fannie Mae chief economist Doug Duncan recently stated that the U.S. will continue to see economic growth through 2012. He noted that although the growth may not be as fast paced as the beginning of the year, it will be heading in the right direction, none the less. The housing sector has shown positive signs thus far in 2012, and while mortgage rates remain at an all time low, more and more real estate consumers are starting to cash in and take advantage. Compared to the same time last year, home sales are up by 9 percent. Duncan also pointed out that residential home investments are expected to increase this year and should help contribute to the general economic growth that has been thirsty for such activity since 2005. Homeowners are showing greater levels of confidence in regards to the housing market and more specifically to home price expectations and outlook.

A more local real estate report for Tampa, Florida also shows optimistic signs of progression. Median home sale price is up almost 15% compared to this time last year. The average listing price saw only a small increase and is at $308,425. Tampa Florida’s most popular communities include Old Seminole Heights and Tampa Palms. The New Tampa area which encompasses Tampa Palms, Hunters Green, and Live Oak are showing higher sale prices than other parts of Tampa Florida which makes it an attractive market for both single family home buyers, as well as investors looking for a high return on their money.

It was a pleasure of mine to read on this very informative and inspirational blog. The year of 2012 I could say that the economic growth is continuing and because of that the real estate industries are also booming. It is sounds so good for the Realtors and in the Philippines real estate is in-demand. Thanks for those information I really appreciate it and keep it up.

I’m seriously happy to discover this great site the future of this blog is getting good and more useful for me thanks!
This is a good information shared. I really think that to invest in rentals nowadays would help move you money rather than just saving it. Think about the fact that buying real estate in today's market of low inflation will help hedge your inflation risk over the near future. Now really IS a great time to invest.
