Clearwater Beach Real Estate: What does a 3 bedroom 2 bath Oceanfront Clearwater Beach Condo Cost?
June 18th, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Condos for Sale, Sand Key Florida, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate
Clearwater Beach Real Estate – 3 Bedroom Oceanfront Beach Condos for sale
Clearwater Beach Florida – The most common request Jack and I get is people looking for a vacation resort / investment property and their top 2 requests are first that it is oceanfront Clearwater Beach Condos along with wanting 3 bedrooms and 2 baths – sounds like simple requests right? Well it might surprise you that it’s actually a minority of the Clearwater Beach real estate inventory that’s available for sale.
I checked the Tampa MLS today and found that there were only twenty five 3 bedroom 2 bath Clearwater Beach condos for sale right now. Almost 1/2 of the condos for sale in the Mandalay Beach Club condominium complex. Only 2 of the Clearwater beachfront condos allow 7 day rentals (which is very unique). Nine of these Clearwater Beach condos are located on Sand Key and only one of these has a minimum rental period of 2 weeks – the others have minimum rental periods of 3 months and up – reflecting Sand Key’s strong residential focus.
Clearwater Beachfront Condo Photos – What’s not to like?

Clearwater Beach Condos – Analysis of 3 Bedroom Condos for Sale Now
The cheapest beachfront condo is offered for $475,000 and is under 1400 square feet. This condo is located in the Sand Key Condominium complex, Sand Key Condo South. Unfortunately this complex was built with the building facing North / South instead of East / West.
So what does that mean to you?
It means that you have gulffront condo views from the balconies, however they are usually limited and somewhat obstructed (many don’t have good water views from inside the condos themselves)- Clearwater condo buyers consistently tell us they favor the West facing views that building with and East / West orientation have to offer.
So why are many condos, especially on Sand Key FL built facing North / South?
My guess is it was about cost! Obviously you can get more condos with this design since these buildings fit on a narrower piece of property and this prime Clearwater Beach real estate definitely commands top dollar.
Now don’t get me wrong – living on basically the #1 beach in the United States (we’re the southern extention of Caladesi) is definitely great at any direction 
– however, for those wanting the best gulf views – the East / West buildings are the most popular (and while we’re at it – the South West Views are the most popular and in the most demand).
The Mandalay Beach Club Condos and the Sandpearl Condos are the newest luxury condos on Clearwater Beach and offer truly amazing views and amenities however if you’ve got your heart set on a 3 bedroom you’re currently looking at Clearwater Beach condos for sale for over $1,000,000.
So what’s a Clearwater beachfront cost per square foot? As with all Clearwater real estate - location, views and amenities matter. Of these 3 bedroom condos for sale the asking price per square foot ranges from a low of $306 per square foot to a high of $950/square foot.
Clearwater Beach real estate stays pricey – even in this buyer’s market. In the last 3 months we’ve had six 3/2 oceanfront condos sell and the dollar per square foot has ranged from $273 per square foot to $650 per square foot.
Are you thinking of buying a Clearwater Beach Condo? Now is a great time to find a great place and a good value. Jack and I specialize in Clearwater Beach Real Estate and have put together a Clearwater Beach Condo Short Term Rental Report to help you in narrowing down which complexes meet your requirements. Give us a call to request it at 727-710-8036.

Buying Clearwater Florida Real Estate Bargains: Bank Owned, REO, Foreclosures – Be Aware, Be Informed!
April 1st, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Clearwater Florida, Homes for Sale, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate
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.

Clearwater Florida Real Estate Agents Help Delighted Family Buy Pool Home
January 1st, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Florida, Luxury Real Estate, Pool Homes, Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate
Clearwater Florida Family Get’s Their Pool Home before Year Ends
Clearwater Florida – Well it’s hard to believe 2007 is over…so what did we do on the last business day of 2007 – we helped a Clearwater family realized their dream of buying their new Clearwater Pool Home and then we all got to celebrate! What a great way to end 2007!!
We have written before that we don’t do “real estate closings” – we do “real estate celebrations” because we don’t see the people and families we meet buying and selling homes and condos in Clearwater as being finished at the end of a real estate transaction. We see them as friends and we this as a happy time that signifies the beginning of a life long relationship.
Here’s what Chris and Dave, Clearwater home buyers, had to say about their Clearwater pool home buying experience and what it was like working with us. We are pleased to know that even though they had bought several homes over the years they felt like this “was their best experience ever”. Chris and Dave also gave Jack compliments for being such a great advocate for them. I have to tell you he does an amazing job for our clients – I have to give him kudos too!! Great job hon!!
Clearwater Real Estate Agent get’s Home Buyer’s Praise
Celebration Continues – Friends, Fun Families
Here are a few photos of Chris and Dave’s “Celebration”
When was the last time you saw your Mortgage broker get this kind of client affirmation?
As always, we feel blessed to work with other real estate and mortgage professionals, like Leah Ross, that always put the home buyer’s dreams above closing any transaction. That’s harder to find than you might think.
So as we end 2007, we have so much to be thankful for and just wanted to thank all those that gave us the opportunity to serve them over this past year.
We also want to thank all our loyal readers that make it fun to write and share our Tampa Bay community and give our Clearwater Florida Real Estate thoughts each day here on Sandbars to Sunsets.
We are looking forward to an even better 2008. Looking forward to having you be part of the journey. The fun continues by sharing it with friends and family. Hope you’ll consider being part of our Sandbars to Sunsets family in 2008!
“Now all I can tell you is what happens in Clearwater Florida – stays in Clearwater Florida – and judging from the smiles everyone had a great time!”
