We had the great opportunity this weekend to sell homes to a pair of first time home buyers. I have made several posts before on how we love working with the first time buyer and there is no better joy than seeing a happy couple or family getting exciting on buying their first home.It really makes what we do as Realtors so much more enjoyable.

With the low interest rates and affordable housing now available in Hillsborough county now is a great opportunity for all the first time home buyers.

If you are a first time buyer in Hillsborough county there are some great programs offered by the county to assist in down payment assistance and education on the home buying process. For more information on the Hillsborough county first time home buyer programs…

Ok, We hear all the stories on how bad the US  real estate market is. Well there now is a good alternative if you don't think buying here in the US is a viable option and that would be Mexico .Apparantly the Mexico housing market is booming.

I think I am going to stay in Tampa area and take my chances with the Tampa Real Estate market. No offense to Mexico it is a great country but I will always love the USA.

I'd like my first blog post of the New Year to be positive about the Real Estate market since 2007 was such a negative. Right now we have many buyers sitting on the sidelines just waiting for the very lowest possible price. Sort of like speculation in reverse this time it is the buyers waiting to time the market. I guess it can be argued a million different ways whether it is the right time to buy. The way I look at real estate is and always will be a great long term investment. The Tampa real estate market has made its adjustment and the biggest price depreciations have already been taken in my opinion. With low interest rates combined with low home sales prices now is a great opportunity for first time home buyers to take advantage of the market.…
