Expect prices in Tampa Bay to drop even more

We hear so many different opinions on the subject of home values and the overall real estate industry that it is very difficult to know who or what to trust. I’m here to tell you that nobody really knows and anyone who claims to be an expert on the subject is trying to sell you something.

As someone who lives and breaths real estate I can say with complete confidence that I don’t know what the future holds. All I know for certain is that there are too many homes on the market for the quantity of buyers, and as a result prices are down and will remain down. If you’re looking to sell now or in the immediate future you need to face the music. You’re not going to get what you probably feel you deserve for your home should you decide to sell in 2010.

According to Inman News

National home prices were up slightly in February from a year ago — the first annual increase in more than three years — but are expected to give up those gains and more later this year, according to a report from First American CoreLogic.

First American CoreLogic’s LoanPerformance Home Price Index showed prices up 0.3 percent in February from a year ago, compared to a 0.5 percent year-over-year price decline in January.

The index currently shows a 30.6 percent decline in national home prices from an April, 2006 peak, or 21.7 percent if distressed properties are excluded.

Will the $8,000 tax credit be extended?

According to my sources the $8,000 tax credit will NOT be extended. There simply is not enough money available to extend this first-time home buyer tax credit. So it is now or never folks. If you’d like to benefit from this tax credit you need to be under contract in the next few weeks and closed by June 30, 2010. This means short sales aren’t going to work. Concentrate on traditional sales and bank-owned or you will miss the tax credit. Anyone that tells you that you can go under contract and close on a short sale by June 30, 2010 is either under the influence of something exotic or completely inexperienced with short sales.

Directory of 55+ Housing Communities

I’ve found a really great site for researching which Florida housing communities are for people aged 55 and up. The Florida Commission on Human Relations updates their Directory of 55+ Housing Communities weekly so you can expect their site to be a solid resource.

Search The 55+ Housing Directory by county or city. As an example here are all of the 55+ Communities in Pinellas County. Here are the 55+ Housing Communities in Hillsborough County, and finally here are the 55+ Communities in Pasco County. Of course, you can search all counties in Florida too. I just happen to work almost exclusively in Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco.
