            <title>Great Horned Owl in Flatwoods Preserve</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
I was out for a walk in Flatwoods Park yesterday and I could hear group of crows making a lot of noise in the trees, so I looked over and caught glimpse of this Great Horned Owl.&nbsp; It's not a great picture because I couldn't quite get close enough without scarying him away and the sun was almost directly behind him.&nbsp; Anyway, pretty cool to see some wildlife right in New Tampa's backyard.

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
The charts below show New Tampa home sales from 2002 through 2009.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 

Additionally if you look at Richmond Pla... ]]> </description>

Before we finish some of the historical data we've been working on, see Hillsborough 2002-2009, Pasco 2002-2009, and Wesley Chapel 2002-2009, here are some up-to-date statistics on the Tampa Bay real estate market.&nbsp; 

This first chart below shows Hillsborough County sales data for the last two years, by city and quarter.&nbsp; You'll notice Lutz and Odessa on both the Hillsborough and Pasco county charts, for those not familiar with the area, these towns actually cross the county borders.&amp;... ]]> </description>

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.&nbsp; See the Tampa Trib article here. Did Bolts' Vinik Pay Too Much for His South Tampa Homes?&nbsp; 

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... ]]> </description>

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.&nbsp; I thought I'd share for all the moms and dads out there that are in the middle of that toddl... ]]> </description>

In today's market, the number one question we receive as real estate agents is &quot;how's the real estate market?&quot; 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... &quot;how's the market&quot;? We typically answer by saying &quot;it depends where you live&quot;, which in turn envokes a conversation regarding home prices in different areas of Tampa Bay. After such a conversation, I always remark ... ]]> </description>
