So I got up this morning determined to whittle down my inbox and as always got a little sidetracked by clicking over to a comment someone posted on my facebook... I've been busy. I've neglected reading my facebook, so of course I sat leisurely sipping my coffee and reading posts - (like I didn't have anything else to do).
One of my clients posted this to her FB page and it totally made me laugh. I thought I'd share for all the moms and dads out there that are in the middle of that toddler stage and looking around their home going "what the heck just happened here?" I was reminded of what this was like twice this past week. My beautiful grandchildren Aedan and Miles came to visit - whoa! Loved every second... but I had that same feeling. After day 2 I…

This is the second in a series on Tampa Bay real estate statistics.

In today's market, the number one question we receive as real estate agents is "how's the real estate market?" Whether it be from a customer, friend, or family member; whether it's in an up market, or down market everyone always asks the same question... "how's the market"? We typically answer by saying "it depends where you live", which in turn envokes a conversation regarding home prices in different areas of Tampa Bay. After such a conversation, I always remark that I should take the time to publish more market information on our blog.
Well, it's taken a little time but I was finally able compile eight years worth of real estate data down to the neighborhood level for both Hillsborough and Pasco County. I had hoped to have a full ten years…
Tampa Bay Luxury Home Sales

A recent Wall Street Journal Article
highlighted a rebound in luxury home sales in some markets through out
the country including, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Miami, and Manhattan.
Although Tampa has our share of celebrity mansions, see Tampa's largest
home, our luxury real estate market has never been at the level of the
cities mentioned in the WSJ article. Still, I thought it would be a
interesting to see how Tampa is performing relative to the rest of the
country.
After running the numbers, Tampa's luxury home market,
is not seeing significant gains like other parts of the country. The
chart below shows luxury home sales, the number homes sold at $1 million
or greater, for the first quarter of each year from 2004 to 2010. …
