The charts below show New Tampa home sales from 2002 through 2009. The first chart tracks the average home price by community and the second chart shows the number of homes sold.
When reviewing the numbers it's important to keep in mind that each community has it's own unique make-up. For example, in Pebble Creek which is one of the older communities in New Tampa, many of the homes were built before 3,000+ square feet homes became popular.
Additionally if you look at Richmond Place, you'll notice the average price of a home dropped sharply in 2009 to $89,125. This was due to a large percentage of distressed condo sales in the Enclave complex. In fact out of the 43 sales in Richmond Place in 2009, 32 were condos (compared to 3 condo sales in 2008)…

Well everybody seems to love gossip, so of course the big news in the Tampa real estate market this week was the price new Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeffrey Vinik paid for his two new homes in South Tampa's Palma Ceia area. See the Tampa Trib article here. Did Bolts' Vinik Pay Too Much for His South Tampa Homes?
As hockey fan, I care less about what he paid for his home and more about what he's going to do to bring a winning hockey team back to Tampa. Although it's still too early to tell, I think bringing in Steve Yzerman was great move and Yzerman seems to be headed in the right direction, see Off Season Report: Tampa Bay Lighting.
