Pinellas County Real Estate Today Loses Chance to Cut Property Taxes by up to 32%
September 4th, 2008 Categories: Pinellas County, Real Estate Market Reports, Real Estate News
Pinellas County Real Estate News – Well all Pinellas County home owners, property investors and others got some bad news today following the news we received on August 15th when a Leon County Circuit Court removed Amendment 5 aimed at lowering everyone’s property taxes off the November ballot. We all had been waiting to see what Florida’s Supreme Court would decide. By a 7-0 ruling on September 3rd they struck the Property Tax Amendment from our ballot and their decision is final so Amendment 5 will not be on the ballot this November.
The Florida Supreme Courts’ ruling ends a long fight to help provide property tax relief to Floridians. The court’s ruled to uphold the Circuit Court’s decision to remove Amendment 5 from this fall’s ballot because of the language in the property tax amendment which said “education funding would be held harmless”. The issue was that Amendment 5 funding would only be held harmless for the 1st year and then education funding would be determined by the Florida State legislature.
We will continue to keep you posted on what’s happening with Pinellas county real estate issues that effect you! Stay tuned for any new developments.
The Florida Association of Realtors, which supported the amendment, decried Cooper’s ruling saying “Homeownership is a fundamental right, and Floridians deserve a say on how their property is taxed,” said Chuck Bonfiglio, president of the Florida Association of Realtors, in a prepared statement. “We are shocked that the court decided to deny property owners’ the ability to dramatically lower their property tax rates.”
We as Pinellas County Realtors and home owners were excited about voting YES for Amendment 5 Property taxes. We believe it would have helped Pinellas County Real Estate buyers, residents and renters because everyone should have experience savings. We also believe it would have helped home sellers since by making Pinellas County homes more affordable and more appealing to buyers who do not currently qualify for homestead exemptions.
Florida property taxes have doubled over last 6 years!
Amendment 5 proposed a sales tax 1% or less to fund education.
Amendment 5 was expected to save Florida property owners 25-40% on their property taxes in 2010 by sharing the cost of education with all Pinellas County residents and tourists.
In this Pinellas County Real Estate market Amendment 5 would have helped people buying vacation homes or invests in Clearwater Beach and the Clearwater area with it’s 5% annual property tax cap on all non-homestead property (which was set at 10% this past February) One of the challenges second home property buyers struggle with is the fact that yes – prices and home values are down now but as they rise – so does the cost of ownership and many fear not being able to own these properties for the long term.
Additional aritcles discussing Amendment 5 being removed from the ballot:
Amendment 5 had projected savings for Tampa Bay property owners
- Hillsborough property owners = 23%,
- Pinellas County property owners = 25%
- Pasco property owners = 32%
Amendment 5 Property Tax Details
Now we’ll have to wait and see what happens in the future. Here are the details for the Amendment 5 proposal at Give Me 5 Florida and the actual Amendment 5 property tax proposal. Benefits: Amendment 5 would have provided much-needed tax relief to Florida’s seniors, many of whom fear losing their homes because of an inability to pay higher property taxes on a fixed income.
Amendment 5 proposal built on what Ammendment 1 already gave us:
- Portability
- +25K Homestead exemption
- 10% cap for non homestead property owners

Clearwater Beach Real Estate – The Future’s So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades
January 2nd, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Clearwater Florida, Island Estates Florida, Luxury Real Estate, Real Estate Market Reports, Real Estate News, Sand Key Florida, Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Tampa Beach Living, Tierra Verde Florida
Clearwater Beach Florida – Maybe you remember the 80′s hit from the group named Timbuk3 titled “The Futures So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)”. Here is the link if you want to see & hear the video.
That song reminds me of what our local Clearwater Florida real estate market for home and condo resales should look like in 2008 and beyond as local Tampa Florida real estate market conditions continue to improve.
National Association of Realtors reports that in this market, our Tampa Bay economy is adding jobs, mortgage rates remain in our favor, our second home market is healthy, our location near the beach continues to be attractive, and further production cuts in new home construction should lower supply all of which should lead to an increase in home prices and lower inventory in 2008. (Email us to request full report supplied by National Association of REALTORS )
So, if you are in the market to buy a first or second home in the Tampa
Bay area check out what some of our real estate customers are saying, then call us to find the right home for you.

Clearwater Beach Condos | Sand Key Condos | Ocean front Real Estate Market Report -2007
December 29th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Condos for Sale, Luxury Real Estate, Real Estate Market Reports, Real Estate News, Sand Key Florida, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Tampa Beach Living, Waterfront Living
Clearwater Beach Florida – Today we are recapping information regarding condos that have sold on the beach in Clearwater Beach | Sand Key this past year compared to the previous year. We’re all standing by to see where 2008 takes our luxury beach real estate in Clearwater Florida, however, Jack and I are seeing lots of serious buyers prepared to purchase their luxury Clearwater Beach condo in early 2008.
We have included a 2 year historical look since our condominium real estate market on Clearwater Beach and Sand Key has seen lots of changes over the last two years with new buildings and complexes like Sandpearl, Belle Harbor, Mandalay Beach Club being completed and other projects like Indigo that didn’t make it off the ground.
Gulf Front Condos on Clearwater Beach | Sand Keys 2007 Year in Review
As I shared in the first report in our series, Pinellas Luxury Condo Report, it’s been a buyer’s market in the Tampa Bay area and especially on Clearwater Beach where there was a lot of “speculative” Clearwater Beach condo investing in new developments with the intent of just flipping these beach condos quickly by buyers “on paper” that never planned to own or live in them. Here is the second report in our new series called the Real Estate Market Report – 2007 Year In Review.
Why do niche Tampa Real Estate market reports? Readers tell us that it’s easy to find information on total Pinellas County market statistics however it can be misleading when those reports include everything from condos under $100,000 in 55+ Adult Retirement Condo Communities to the record setting condo sale of $4,400,000 at the Sandpearl Residences condos on Clearwater Beach this past month. 5 condos sold for over $3,000,000 this year in communities like The Grande, Mandalay Beach Club, Vinoy Place and Parkshore Plaza. Luxury condos and fine living still have their discriminating buyers even in this real estate market.
Just like all real estate is local – we believe each Tampa Bay real estate market niche is unique especially when you are looking at Tampa beach communities on the ocean and our goal is to provide you with a deeper view into our Gulf Front Clearwater Beach | Sand Key Condo Real Estate Market. We’ve been doing the detailed research and preparing reports on different Tampa Bay real estate market niches like:
- Report 1 – Luxury Condos (over $500,000) in Pinellas County
- Report 2 – Gulf front Condos in Pinellas County
- Report 3 – Pool Homes in Clearwater Florida (coming)
- Report 4– Clearwater Florida Homes Real Estate Report (coming)
- Report 5 – Luxury Homes (over $500,000) in Pinellas County (coming)
- Report 6 – The Clearwater Beach Sand Key Condo Report (coming)
- Report 7 – Island Estates Real Estate Report (coming)
- Report 8 – Clearwater Florida Condos Real Estate Report (coming)
…and how they’ve performed in 2007. We’ve also provided you with a historical view of the last 24 months. As we head into the New Year it’s a time for reflecting on the past and planning for the future. Hope you find this information helpful.
Ocean Front Clearwater Beach Sand Key condos | 2 year Historical Performance Graphs
If you have another particular Tampa Bay Real Estate Market Report that would interest you just let us know and we will work to add it to our list. Our goal will be to post one or two a day.
We will include the following 4 graphs in our Tampa Bay Real Estate Market Report and this one is focused on Clearwater Beach and Sand key condos on the beach front:
- Days on Market – How long is it taking Clearwater Beach condos and Sand Key condos on the beach to sell?
- Average Asked to Sold Ratio – Helps show how close to asking price Ocean front Clearwater beach and Sand Key condos are currently selling for.
- Median Price – shows that 1/2 of Clearwater Beach / Sand Key condos on the Gulf of Mexico sold are above and 1/2 are below this price in a given property or market niche.
- Units Sold – will show how many Clearwater Beach / Sand Key waterfront beach condos sold in a given month as well as over the 2 year period.
![2clearwater beachDays_on_market[2]](http://www.sandbarstosunsets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/2clearwater-20beachdays-on-market2.jpg)
We’ve seen the time it takes to sell a Clearwater Beach Condo or Sand Key condo that is on the Gulf of Mexico rise significantly from a low of under 54 days in January 2006 to 138 now down from a high of 207 in mid 2007. We are starting to see buyers back in the market buying Clearwater beach condos priced properly.
There are many factors that have effected the time it’s taken to sell condos on the beach this year. One is the time it has taken some condo sellers on Clearwater Beach and Sand Key to price their beach condos correctly for today’s real estate market (many started asking more that it could ever appraise for).
Second, Clearwater Beach Condo Buyers had lots of choices and many sat on the sidelines wondering what prices would do and if we’d reached the bottom of our price-adjustment.
Jack and I are finding much of the Clearwater Beach real estate has asking prices that has finally moved into a realistic range for today’s market – Clearwater Beach condo sellers have finally come to grips with the fact that we’re not in the 2005–2006 Real Estate market anymore – if you want to sell any property the first key today is that you need to price it correctly.
![2clearwaterbeach Median_Price[1]](http://www.sandbarstosunsets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/2clearwaterbeach-20median-price1.jpg)
The median price for Clearwater Beach Condos and Sand Key Condos on the beach is rising again and are currently at $704,500 which is up from the January prices of 2006 when it was $675,500. The big spike in January is caused when new high-end luxury condo developments like Sandpearl Residences Luxury Condos reached completion and several units were “sold” for over 1 million dollars and up.
![2clearwaterbeachAverage_sold_to_asked_ratio[2]](http://www.sandbarstosunsets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/2clearwaterbeachaverage-sold-to-asked-ratio2.jpg)
We see that the Clearwater Beach condo Asked to Sold ratio has fallen as buyers have addressed the two points we discussed above. One, they’ve force the Clearwater Beach condo asking price to come down to a price that will fit today’s market place and actually appraise out and two, the fact that there’s so much competition along with some highly motivated sellers they’ve negotiated more more seller concessions than normal.
Clearwater Beach Real Estate still has a condo supply that far exceeds demand and most Clearwater Beach condo buyers have continued to ask us for info on the Clearwater beach condos that are deals, bargains, short sales or in pre-fore-closure since many novice Clearwater Beach investors found themselves coming up short in 2007.
![2clearwaterbeachUnits_sold[1]](http://www.sandbarstosunsets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/2clearwaterbeachunits-sold1.jpg)
Ironically we had 71 beach front Clearwater Beach condos and Sand Key condos sold in both 2006 and 2007. So again is shows things are selling it’s just that our inventory (condos for sale at any one time) is so much larger than normal.
In 2007 we saw 2 ends of the Clearwater Beach Real Estate Market get the most activity – One was the top end of the luxury beach condos in communities like The Grande, Sandpearl Residences Resort Condos and Mandalay Beach Clubs which all had sales in 2007 over $3,000,000 with the Sandpearl Luxury Condos setting a new all time high for Pinellas County condo’s sold at $4,400,000.
Then we also saw people looking to buy that luxury vacation home or winter retreat at a deep discount. They found distressed sales prices on Clearwater beach condos – and there were and still are real bargains to be found.
Some Clearwater Beach condo prices dropped back to 2004 prices and many savvy investors realized the opportunity to buy a Sand Key gulf front condo now since many believe, like we do that Clearwater beachfront property will continue to be in high demand.

Pinellas County Luxury Condos | Real Estate Market Report – 2007 Year in Review
December 28th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Condominiums, Luxury Real Estate, Pinellas County, Real Estate Market Reports, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Tampa Beach Living
Pinellas County Florida – As 2007 comes to an end, many Pinellas County sellers are happy to see it go and many are wondering what 2008 has in store for our housing market.
While we don’t have a crystal ball we did think it would be helpful to take a look back over the last 2 years to see where Pinellas County luxury real estate been and where we are now.
Pinellas County Real Estate 2007 Year in Review
We all have heard that it’s a buyer’s market in the Tampa Bay area however let’s review the facts and temper some of the news media. Here is the first report in our new series called the Real Estate Market Report – 2007 Year In Review.
Readers tell us that it’s easy to find information on total Pinellas County market statistics however it can be misleading when those reports include everything from condos under $100,000 in 55+ Adult Retirement Condo Communities to the record setting condo sale of $4,400,000 at the Sandpearl Residences condos on Clearwater Beach this past month. 5 condos sold for over $3,000,000 this year in communities like The Grande, Mandalay Beach Club, Vinoy Place and Parkshore Plaza. Luxury condos and fine living still have their discriminating buyers even in this real estate market.
Just like all real estate is local – we believe each real estate market niche is unique and our goal is to provide you with a deeper view into our Luxury Real Estate Market in Tampa Bay. We’ve been doing the research and preparing detailed reports on different Tampa Bay real estate market niches like:
- Luxury Condos (over $500,000) in Pinellas County
- Gulf front Condos in Pinellas County
- Pool Homes in Pinellas County
- Luxury Homes (over $500,000) in Pinellas County
- The Clearwater Beach Sand Key Condo Report
- Island Estates Real Estate Report
- Clearwater Florida Homes Real Estate Report
- Clearwater Florida Condos Real Estate Report
…and how they’ve performed this year. We’ve also provided you with a historical view of the last 24 months. As we head into the New Year it’s a time for reflecting on the past and planning for the future. Hope you find this information helpful.
Tampa Bay Real Estate 2 year Historical Performance Graphs
If you have a particular Tampa Bay Real Estate Market Report that would interest you just let us know and we will work to add it to our list. Our goal will be to post one or two a day.
We will include the following 4 graphs in our Tampa Bay Real Estate Market Report:
- Days on Market – How long is it taking Tampa Bay real estate to sell?
- Average Asked to Sold Ratio – Helps show how close to asking price condos are currently selling for.
- Median Price – shows that 1/2 of real estate sold is above and 1/2 is below this price in a given property or market niche.
- Units Sold – will show how many homes or condos sold in a given month as well as over the 2 year period.
![Pinellas luxury condos 500K Days_on_market[3]](http://www.sandbarstosunsets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/pinellas-20luxury-20condos-20500k-20days-on-market3.jpg)
We have seen the time it takes to sell luxury condos in Pinellas county has risen from just over 75 days to over 225 days this past month. It’s easy to understand when you look at the fact that there is a more limited buyer pool for these luxury condos as well as the fact that condo buyers have more lots of choices of condos currently for sale in Pinellas County.
The next chart explains the Pinellas Luxury Condo Real Estate Asked to Sold ratio. We often get buyer requests for people wanting to buy a Clearwater Beach Condo on the Gulf of Mexico for under $100,000, we smile knowing we could sell those all day long if it existed and then have to explain is just doesn’t.
The following graph shows that while luxury condo sellers in Clearwater, St Petersburg and the Tampa Beaches are making deals and there are some luxury waterfront condo bargains to be found, sellers are not “giving away” this desireable Tampa Bay real estate.
Notice on the Asked to Sold Graph below that with the exception of one month, June 2007, out of the last 24 months the “asked to sold ratio” has been over 90%. While Pinellas County luxury real estate usually sells faster and in the high 90’s – luxury sellers are holding the line on their property values and many are willing to hold out longer than to sell a drastically lower prices.
![Pinellas luxury condos 500K Average_sold_to_asked_ratio[1]](http://www.sandbarstosunsets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/pinellas-20luxury-20condos-20500k-20average-sold-to-asked-ratio1.jpg)
Pinellas County Luxury Condo Owners saw the median price for luxury condos (over $500,000) go from $689,500 in the beginning of 2006 and two years later after a challenging year for Tampa Bay real estate the median luxury condo price was up to $697,500.
Much of that can be attributed to the increase in the number of new luxury condo developments like Sandpearl Residences where developers have built a significant number of high-end condos over the last few years. When you look at most individual luxury condos on a year to year basis their values are actually down over last year. As we’ve said all year – if you don’t have to sell, then don’t – wait!
For those that have owned their property over 3 years, most have seen that property increase in value and while the median prices are down from their high of $815,000 in September of 2006 for those who bought for the long term should fare well.
Clearwater | St Petersburg | Tampa’s Beaches is still considered a great place to live and we hear from lots of people daily that want to buy Florida luxury real estate on our Tampa Beaches and around the Tampa Bay area.
![Pinellas luxury condos 500K Median_Price[1]](http://www.sandbarstosunsets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/pinellas-20luxury-20condos-20500k-20median-price1.jpg)
![Pinellas luxury condos 500K Units_sold[1]](http://www.sandbarstosunsets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/pinellas-20luxury-20condos-20500k-20units-sold1.jpg)
The number of Tampa Bay condos selling each month is down from the heyday of 2006 as well as the prices on most individual units. We believe reflects a combination of a correction in our real estate market from the buying frenzy that ran up prices at an unsustainable pace and the “wait and see” feeling lingering in the market right now.
The silver lining is that with the value of the dollar being down, interest rates being down and the fact that there are still plenty of motivated sellers we are seeing lots of activity again in the luxury condo marketplace, especially on our Tampa gulf beaches. Winter is also motivating lots of Canadians and foreign investors to act now so they can enjoy their new retreat this winter.
If you have a particular luxury condo community or unit you’d like more info on don’t hesitate to ask – we’d love to help you with all your luxury real estate needs here in Pinellas County.

Clearwater Beach Florida News | Clearwater 78 – Portland 19
December 23rd, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Condominiums, Luxury Real Estate, Real Estate Market Reports, Sand Key Florida, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Tampa Beach Living, Waterfront Living
Clearwater Beach Florida – Clearwater 78 – Portland 19. No, this is not a basketball or football score – LOL – it is the forecasted high temperature for December 24, 2007.
As you can imagine, we are wearing shorts, tee-shirts, flip-flops, and drinking margaritas on our boats AGAIN today – HOHUM, and most of the folks who live up north are getting more ice and snow.
Not to mention the great real estate deals available here on Clearwater Beach.
Just today, I saw a great condominium for sale in Sand Key Florida in one of our premier waterfont communities on Sand Key. It has a boat dock and a 50′ deck overlooking the marina, pool, tennis courts and great sunsets.

Sand Key Florida Real Estate Agent prepares for UF Gators – Michigan Wolverine Showdown
December 22nd, 2007 Categories: Condominiums, Luxury Real Estate, Real Estate Market Reports, Sand Key Florida, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Tampa Beach Living, Waterfront Living
Sand Key Florida is Michigan Winter Wonderland
Sand Key Florida Real Estate – Today at the beach I was thinking of my good friend Missy Caulk, a top REALTOR in Ann Arbor who is a die-hard University of Michigan Wolverine fan.
Being a University of Florida Gator myself we’re anxious to see who ends up with College Football bragging rights for the next year as our teams are playing in this year’s Capitol One Bowl Game in Orlando Florida.
Recently Jack was researching various weather reports and was checking winter weather around the country and it got me to thinking if it was a competition based on our winter weather then we’d be the odds on favorite to win that bet. Now when it comes to college football – I’m not making any bets – think it should be a good game for all of us!
So when it comes to game day, they are forecasting the high temps on New Years Day to be 81 degrees in Sand Key Florida and 31 degrees in Ann Arbor Michigan. Now we’ll just have to wait and see what the final bowl game score will be. Win or Lose I do know that this is the right time for Michigan Wolverine fans to purchase their winter retreat here in the Clearwater Beach / Sand Key area – let me show you our bargains.
Here’s a look at are little part of paradise to tempt you…

Island Estates Homes |Clearwater Florida Real Estate Market Update with Graphs
December 15th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Florida, Island Estates Florida, Luxury Real Estate, Real Estate Market Reports, Real Estate News, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Waterfront Living
Island Estates Florida | Clearwater Waterfront Homes – Real Estate Market Report
Waterfront Living – Here is an update on what’s happening in Island Estates, Florida – Clearwater’s premier deep water waterfront neighborhood. Many people lately have asked me for an update on what’s happening in that neighborhood since we’ve all heard reports of it being a “strong home buyer’s market.”
We’ve included graphs of how long it’s currently taking for Island Estates, Florida homes to sell. When we look at the graph for 2007 it can be a little confusing when you realize that only 1 to 3 Island Estates homes have sold each month this past year – it’s easy to see how a single home could skew the graphs. We all have known homes to be on the market for sale at the “if someone offered me this I would move” price. We also gave you a 2 year view of Island Estates Home Sales to get a feel for what’s happened in the big picture.
We can see that when we were in a strong “home sellers market” homes in Island Estates, Florida were selling in under 30 days in January of 2006.
We have seen the time it takes to sell take longer over this past year. In addition when you are dealing with high end luxury waterfront homes in Clearwater you are marketing to a smaller group of potential buyers.
With a limited number of sales each month buyers need a local Clearwater Beach Real Estate expert to research and analyze the various homes for sale to get up-to-date information so you’re not over-paying for your Clearwater luxury home.
If you are trying to sell your waterfront luxury home in Island Estates pricing it right is the single most important factor in selling in today’s Clearwater Beach real estate market.
Island Estates Homes | Waterfront Neighborhood – Calling all Boaters
What’s the good news – the median price on Island Estates Homes on the water is almost the same as it was 1 year ago. We seen some home buyers have purchased Island Estate Homes for a good value however, it’s easy to see why these highly desirable waterfront homes have a median value approaching $1.5 million.
If you would like to know what your Island Estates Home is worth today – just ask – we’re happy to do a complimentary analysis for you.
If you are looking to buy your Island Estates home with deep water for your power boat or sailboat out back – hear what our past Clearwater home buyers have to say and if we sound like the kind of REALTOR you want helping you give us a call.
