In September of 2009, 3003 homes were sold (up from 2788 last month) in the Tampa Bay area (Hillsborough, Pasco & Pinellas Counties) at an average sales price of $168,142 taking on average 128 days to sell.
We are seeing many buyers and investors snatching up great deals. We are also seeing multiple offers on properties for sale... something we haven't seen in a long time!
Word on the street is that we are either at the bottom of the market or very close to it!! Home inventory has shrunk to it's lowest level in years!
Buyers, this great opportunity will not last forever!! 1st time buyers or home buyers who haven't owned a home in the last 3 years, be sure to take advantage of the $8000 tax credit from the government that you can get back right away as long as you purchase before December 1st.
