The housing market in Temple Terrace has picked up quite a bit. One of the reasons for this is the quiet kept local secret of Temple Terrace, a small city located in the center of Tampa Bay. Known for its beautiful homes & neighborhoods, surrounding golf courses, great location and small town feel, Temple Terrace is home to some of the most prominent people in the Tampa Bay area. This keeps the inventory very low and great homes are hard to find, but out there for the patient buyer.
Buyers... there are a lot of great deals out there right now! 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
