Tampa is still in a buyers market although there are signs that the market is starting to stabilize. We are seeing many new home buyers and investors out snatching up great deals! We are also seeing multiple offers on properties... something we haven't seen in a long time!
1st time buyers, home buyers who haven't owned a home in the last 3 years and homeowners who have been in their home for a least 5 years, be sure to take advantage of the $8,000/$6,500 tax credit from the government that you can get back right away as long as you go under contract before April 30th and close before June 30th.
Sellers, make sure your Realtor is heavily "marketing" your home to put it above the rest, not just listing it! For more information, FREE reports and "Real Time" access to Realtor MLS Listings go to www.FlaPropertyFinder.com
