Clearwater Fl Realtors Get Results For Home Buyers

Clearwater Fl Realtors Get Results

Sometimes when we Clearwater FL Realtors talk about local real estate market reports and what’s going on day to day it may feel overly factual, informational and analytical like reading the business section of the newspaper. I can assure you that’s only one piece of the process. That information is very important and at the center of making good decisions however buying Clearwater FL homes is all about helping families, real people and quite possibly your future neighbor.

Buying a home in today’s market is fraught with challenges and the need for good advice. For example most seller’s don’t know that if they have a home buyer purchasing their home and they are getting an FHA  loan when they get an appraisal - whatever that appraiser reports as your home’s value - good or heaven forbid bad - that appraisal will now be attached to your home for 6 months…think you might want to know that when considering potential offers? Ok, I got off track, anyhow today is a day to share the happy moments - after all the hurdles have been jumped and the negotiations are done - it’s the day that we got to celebrate with a couple that we had worked diligently with for 5 months (on a “preapproved” short sale - that’s another story for another day) to make their Florida pool house dream come true.

This it’s what it’s all about for us => Hear from this Home Buyer

 I’m curious, now that we have so much information at our finger tips with twitter, facebook, linkedin, yelp,youtube etc. -  Do you feel more empowered when deciding who to work with?

Clearwater Florida Sees More Signs Of Real Estate Recovery |Cost Of Owning Versus Renting Falls Back To Historical Norms

 Clearwater Florida Owning verus Renting

Clearwater Florida - One popular housing theory is that — before a bona fide housing recovery can begin — the cost of owning a Clearwater home versus renting one must return to historical levels. The cost of owning a home versus renting one is returning to historical levels

If that belief is a truth, a national return to rising home prices may be in store for 2009.

Falling home prices coupled with falling mortgage rates, too, have dropped the relative, after-tax cost of owning a home to 125% of the cost of renting a home.

This is the exact 18-year historical average and not since 2001 has the gap been this small.

As reported by the Wall Street Journal, though, the study has some flaws. For example, the data doesn’t account for ongoing home maintenance costs, nor does it consider real estate tax bills and insurance policies.

But, combining a relatively low cost home of ownership in the Tampa- St Petersburg - Clearwater real estate market right now. NAR reported that the median home price was $151,500 in the 4th Quarter of 2008 which represents a  decrease of over 24.9% in 2008 along with the government’s newly announced $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers is likely to convert long-time Tampa Bay renters into never-before homeowners. We’ve been meeting with lots of buyers convinced now is the time to buy their first home.

This, too, is thought to be a key element of the housing recovery.

In many real estate markets (but not all), home prices are expected to edge lower through 2009. Provided mortgage rates stay low, the cost gap between owning and renting will shrink even more.
