Clearwater Florida - The number one request we get from buyers is for Clearwater Florida Real Estate bargains for sale. They are looking for Tampa Bay condos or homes for sale that are bank owned properties, foreclosures, in pre-foreclosures or short sales. I must say that this is not a process for those who want quick answers or smooth rides. Be aware and be informed! By their very nature, Bank Owned, REO and Foreclosures and buying Clearwater Florida Real Estate in this process is filled with uncertainty and complexity. By understanding what to expect property buyers tell us it can be less stressful and frustrating.
I read 2 helpful blogs today on this topic highlighting how to be successful in buying Clearwater property bargains. These REALTORS are not from the Tampa Bay area however they present info local buyers can definitely benefit from…
Monika McGillicuddy wrote and excellent article about the possible Pitfalls of Buying a Bank Owned Property. She says “foreclosed home or short sale can be a fantastic opportunity to own a home at a greatly discounted price but please don’t go it alone. Representing yourself sometimes can be a costly mistake.”
She also shared how they “closed on a bank owned home recently, after some investigation we were able to track down a former owners property disclosure of the property and while it was from a former owner and held no legal weight it still gave us a glimpse at some information we would otherwise have never known.
Don’t expect the listing agent to do that for you. They won’t. Can you expect a buyer agent to try and track that information down? Yes… but realize that sometimes it’s simply not to be found. But a good buyer agent will make every effort to help the client make the right decisions.”
Maureen Francis, an Oakland real estate agent, also gives home buyers the following 5 tips to buying Foreclosures in her article. They are:

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.
