Is Now the Time To Buy Real Estate in Tampabay?
As a real estate professional, I often get asked “How’s the Real Estate business?” Typically, the person asking the question seems to expect me to tell them howbadthe market is. They are often surprised by my response which is “It’s a Great Time to Buy!” Most people do realize that real estate prices have dropped dramatically over the past five years. In many cases, some properties have fallen to nearly 50% of their value from the market's peak. The next comment I get is usually something about how the "banks are not lending money." I will politely inform them that people with a 2 year job history or college/work history and a 640+ credit score have plenty of options to borrow money. Tommy Gainer, Senior Loan Officer with HomeBanc says first time buyers (not previously on title to a property within the past 3 years) with 600+ scores have options too. In March 2011, the Greater Tampa Association of Realtors reported the second best month, in number of properties sold, since 2006. The best month was actually March 2010 but that was the last month of the $8000 Home Buyer Tax Credit. Since those figures were artificially influenced by the Federal Government incentive, I consider the March 2011 sales record to be more relevant. The reality is, NOW is one of the best times to buy a home. With the current prices of homes and the outstanding interest rates available, real estate is once again an excellent investment. I do realize many people have experienced the sting of buying real estate at the wrong time, but a first time home buyer or investor should seriously consider buying now. It's also an excellent time to purchase a second home in Florida. You may not want to take my word for it, since we have all heard many real estate agents over the past several years touting “Now is The Time To Buy” or “The Market Has Bottomed Out.” Well, here are a few facts that you may not be aware of. International investors are now buying in the United States at record levels and the total residential International purchases in the U.S. for the year ending March 2011 equaled a whopping $82 billion, up from $66 billion in 2010. Florida has had 31% of the total International transactions this year, the most of any other state, with Miami being the hottest market and Tampa Bay coming in second. At Dennis Realty, we have seen a large influx of Local, National and International buyers over the last two years and the number of investors contacting our office for property is also increasing. So, if the investors around the U.S. and the rest of the world are buying investment properties in Florida, then perhaps it would be a good time for you to buy too... right here in your own back yard.
