Tampa Real Estate Market Update
May 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment
The number of active MLS home listings in Tampa jumped slightly over the last week while the buying activity did likewise.
In the last 7 days 132 properties went under contract, while 85 sales closed.
In Hillsborough County, there are 15,941 residential properties listed as of this morning (5/11/07). At the end of March, there were 13,426 residential properties listed for sale in Hillsborough County according to a local report from NAR, whose forecast for Q2 of 2007 is for decreasing inventory, increasing sales and an increase in the average home price. Almost 6 weeks into Q2, this has not been the case.
But Q2 is usually a busy season for Tampa real estate and the sense on the street is that many of the fence-sitting, tire-kicking home buyers are beginning to become more motivated as price reductions have become more prevalent and interest rates remain low.
Data used is from the Mid-Florida Regional MLS for city = Tampa. All brokers/agents included.
