Clearwater Florida Election Results are In - Real Estate a Big Winner!
Wow what a day - the great news is regardless of the results Pinellas County is reporting a 37% voter turnout - which tops even the 2000 and 2004 Presidential Primaries. I am an avid supporter of the the right and responsibility to Vote and have your voice be heard.
So for all that voted - thank you for being part of our democratic process!! Amendment 1 did pass so for many of my clients looking to buy a second home or condo in Clearwater - they’ll be happy to know that the 10% per year tax cap passed for all non-homestead owners!
Many of us think it should have been 5% but our thought is half a loaf is better than no loaf - especially in this market! We’re making progress and the journey’s not over but I believe it’s moving in the right direction. I’ve included full detail how to calculate your new Save Our Homes Tax Equity and Portability.

Clearwater Florida Real Estate Investors and Home Owners Could be Winners Tomorrow
January 28th, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Clearwater Florida, Community News, Pinellas County, Real Estate News, Tampa Bay
Tomorrow is more than just Super Tuesday in the Presidential Primary Election and local elections here in Clearwater Florida and the Beaches.
In the state of Florida we have another big issue that will get decided on by Tampa Bay residents - it is Florida Constitutional Amendment 1 that has 4 components that will affect our future property taxes if it passes with 60% of the voters voting YES!
Provision #3 is the one most of my real estate investors and second home owners are watching since it will provide much needed help to our non-homestead Clearwater Beach property owners.
Remember when you vote it’s ALL or NOTHING! If the Amendment passes it will be retroactive to January 1, 2008. So I will give you an overview of the four Provisions Amendment 1 covers:

Clearwater Beach Real Estate - Enchantment | Clearwater Beach Condos | New Construction

Clearwater Beach Condos – New Construction
Clearwater Beach Florida – Today I had an out-of-state buyer call me because they were interested in getting more information from an agent that specialized in Clearwater Beach real estate. We discussed their interest in buying a luxury Clearwater Beach Condo and in particular they wanted to get more information about one of our new construction projects: Enchantment Beachfront Residences.
Now you might ask, “Why did they call us instead of the Enchantment sales office?” Well we discussed the fact that they wanted someone responsive and also a dedicated buyer’s agent working for them.
Local real estate agents, like us, that would research, educated and also get them all the information they wanted and yet not try to “sell them” on any particular property since they still want to consider all the newer Clearwater Beach condos. So if you end up wanting more photos or info on Clearwater Beach real estate – please give us a call, we’d love to help you too. (727–422–8901)
While these people made a smart call, I’m surprised everyday that some people don’t realize that they can and should have a real estate agent working for them –even on new construction.It felt good to have them compliment me at the end of the day on our responsiveness (I sensed they were pleasantly surprised). We are excited they chose to work with us and we look forward to helping them find their price of paradise here in Clearwater Florida.
So when we talking I realized I hadn’t written in any detail about Enchantment and thought our other readers might like to know more about it with actual photos versus just artists drawings. I have to tell you, in my opinion, this promises to be one of the finest Clearwater Beach condominium complexes ever built on Clearwater Beach or Sand Key’s beachfront. It has already won several awards for the design which is unique because it created penthouse like views from almost every unit.
