Strong Seller’s Market Continues
The Eastside market continues to be a strong Seller’s Market. There simply isn’t enough supply for the buyer demand. Interestingly, in the last few weeks, the single family home market has seen over priced homes not sell in a weekend (which is a lifetime in this market). Time will tell if this was a Spring Break induced lull or if there has been a slight shift. That said, the condo market is continuing to experience rapid appreciation.
Here is a link to the Eastside single family home stats: http://sanditampa.com/eastside-market-stats/ Anything less than 3 months of inventory is a Seller’s Market. We are 1.3 months based on Closed sales and 0.9 months based on Pending sales.

Sold in 4 Hours!
Listed this condo on Thursday and was Pending in 4 hours. Normally, we do an offer review period that runs through the weekend. In this situation, the seller received an offer they couldn’t refuse, from a buyer who has been beat-up by the market. Beyond happy for my client and the buyer. It’s truly a win-win. I love my job!

Key Delivery–Fun and a Little Sad
While giving clients their keys and sharing in their excitement is one of my favorite things. It’s also a little sad for me, as the frequent interactions slowly to nearly a halt. It’s a bittersweet, but certainly more sweet than bitter. This is Dani—she is fun (in case you couldn’t tell).
The Market is Hot!
Just Listed!
Stylishly updated 2-level condo with attached garage. This should go fast. Please stop by the Open Houses today from noon to 2 or Sunday from 1 PM to 4 PM. Elly McKenzie will be holding it open. Who is Elly you ask? More information next week!
Conflicting Advice – Don’t Lose Your Ass
I'm in the process of adjusting my business structure (services still the same, changing the behind-the-scenes money flow). I have spoken to several professionals, all people I trust or quality referrals. Each professional has different advice and is emphatic about thier recommendation. My head is spinning. I'm frustrated because I'm decisive and an engineer, so I prefer things to be more black and white. My husband mentioned this fable and its resosnating with my plight (ok, plight is a bit dramatic, my 'first world problem' is more accurate, but still….), and I have seen many of buyers get 'caught/stuck' in this situation. The lesson:
….by endeavoring to please everybody he had pleased
nobody, and lost his Ass in the bargain.
Marketing Works!
Before and after photos from a recent condo sale. Proper marketing helped my seller net $20,000 more than the last sale in the building, which used photos similar to my before photo.
