Well, we may not reach that 9000 mark after all. The number of listings as of this Friday morning actually retreated slightly as compared to a week ago. Add to that a higher number of pending contracts this week and you have, for the first time in a long time, numbers moving opposite the trend of over a year now. Yes, that’s right, the number of residential properties listed for sale in Tampa actually decreased over the last seven days. It’s not much, but it’s a start. Or is it? Time will only tell. Have the buyers decided that enough is enough and it’s time to make a move? Maybe so.

Yesterday’s news was that new home sales exploded in April while the median price of them was down. Today’s news is that existing home sales, as well as their median price, fell in April. This all on a nationwide basis of course.
But real estate is local right? Close to home, 114 properties closed in Tampa in the last 7 days. Hillsborough County had its second $3 million dollar plus sale of the year this last week with 709 Guisando De Avila selling for 93% of list price at $3.3 million. Listed by Century 21 Shaw, this 7946 sqft. home in Avila was on the market for only 4 days before being tied up by its new owners. Built seven years ago, the home sits on the 11th green at Avila and is situated on a lot of almost 1.5 acres.
