Are you in Need of a Clearwater Florida Face Lift?
Since 80 percent of Pinellas County homes were built before 1980, it just makes sense to know what remodeling projects are worth doing.
In Pinellas county, for example, it is hard to find land or an empty lot to build a new home, so in Clearwater, St Petersburg, Dunedin, Safety Harbor to name a few of our local cities you will most likely be purchasing a home or town home that has been renovated or you will be doing the updating.
Do Clearwater Home Improvements Add Value?
Most of you will not be surprised to learn that the home renovations that
Pinellas County Buyers like the most are on the exterior of the home. For example, new siding replacement will return 88% of cost, and a wood deck returns 85% of cost.
Outdoor kitchens have proven popular in our area with luxury waterfront and pool home owners.
The main message here is that before you start remodeling your Clearwater outdoor kitchen, putting in new windows or renovating your home, condo, villa and town home in the Tampa Bay area, it is wise to consider how the projects you choose will be viewed by potential Tampa Bay Home Buyers.
Realize that you may not get much credit for fixing things that are broken and that you need to make your home competitive with the competition - yes, YOUR Tampa Bay neighbors home! If you want more details, then check out The National Association of Realtors’ 2007 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report

Sunday’s Sunset | Tierra Verde Florida Beach Sunset at Fort Desoto Park
December 2nd, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Sunday Sunsets, Tampa Beach Living, Things to do, Tierra Verde Florida, Waterfront Living
Clearwater Beach Florida Sunset Series
Here’s the second in our series of featuring one of the best parts of Clearwater Florida real estate – our beautiful Tampa Bay sunsets. Living on the west coast of Florida great sunsets are just one of the perks – living on coast – beach sunsets are just the cherry on top. Here’s our favorite sunset of the week that we took. If you have a sunset you want to share just email it to me at cyndee@sandbarstosunsets.com
This week we ended the week after Thanksgiving with 80 degree weather in Clearwater Beach Florida. Can you believe it was the start of December as well – all the vacationers liked that.
There is something magical that touches my “imagination” as David Henry Thoreau poem says when the sun dips each evening into the Gulf of Mexico. The clouds and variety of colors definitely had my creative thoughts going while there’s also nothing like it to relax me . Being from Clearwater Beach Florida we take our sunsets seriously.
We even have a nightly celebration at Pier 60 so if you’re looking for a place to catch a sunset from you can always count on Pier 60 for the nightly sunset and festivities.
This week we enjoyed a beautiful Tierra Verde beach sunset and the contrast of the darkness of night as the sun dipped down. Because there are no lights around Fort Desoto it creates a sunsets of shades and shadows of a different kind. The boys were camping there with the local Boy Scout Troop.

Clearwater Florida Waterfront Homes| WARNING: Why Inspections Save Home Buyer $1000s!
November 18th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Beach Florida, Clearwater Florida, Homes for Sale, Island Estates Florida, Luxury Real Estate, Tampa Bay FL Luxury Real Estate, Tampa Beach Living, Tierra Verde Florida, Waterfront Living
Clearwater Florida Home Buyers Get Inspection - Avoid Costly Mistake
Clearwater Florida Real Estate - You’ve heard us write about the need for thorough Clearwater home inspections and about Clearwater FL Pool Home inspections and how valuable we think the are when purchasing any home in Clearwater Florida.
Well, another example happened recently that only solidifies the point that a home inspection is ALWAYS worth the money in our opinion.
We have a Clearwater home buyer who we were helping buy an older canal get-a-way home with a great waterfront view and boat dock out back. This Clearwater waterfront property represented a great value for this home buyer and he was anxious to close the real estate deal because he just knew this distressed waterfront house was worth at least $150,000 more than he was going to pay for it - a bargain by most people’s standards here in the Tampa Bay area.
Clearwater Homes - Buyers Get Better Bargain after Home Inspections
Fortunately for this Clearwater home buyer, we insisted upon a home inspection and in slowing down the home purchase process to make sure the buyer would still be happy with his real estate purchase in a few months or years.
Until you have a thorough home inspection there are so many unknowns and unanswered questions. Do you realize the new Florida roofing codes of October 2007 can mean replacing a roof on a home you’re thinking of buying could be double what you were planning on? As we’ve said before - we’re not about selling any one house, we’re about helping people find their Clearwater dream home so they are happy for the long haul.
As you might expect, this older Clearwater waterfront home needed quite a bit of work and the cost of these items quickly ate up the ”savings” the buyer was expecting to have. Remember it’s always - Home Buyer Beware and inspections give you the information you need to make informed decisions and allow you to avoid costly mistakes.
So what happened, well now, we are re-negotiating a new deal on this Clearwater waterfront property based on the facts and the home buyer is so happy he listened to our advice.
To purchase real estate in the Clearwater Florida area please call Cyndee & I at (727) 422–8901 and check out our customer testimonials below to know that we will make you a happy home buyer too.
Have you ever had a home inspection that protected you from a potential “money pit”? We’d love to hear your experience.
