A gorgeous Key West style home located on Gordon Avenue in South Tampa sold this week after only 2.5 months on the market.  We decided to talk to the agents involved in this transaction about what lead to such a quick sale.  The 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home was constructed in 2001 by a custom home builder who created it for his own residence.  Two stories enclose 2,964 square feet of custom designer finishes, which certainly this home stand out from the competition.

“The neighborhood the home is located in had a lot to do with the sale,” said Tampa realtor Tricia Smedley, who listed the property.  “Located in Shell Point, it’s in a quiet area and the neighborhood is known as a tropical paradise. The home also showed beautifully on the inside.  It’s full of custom features and beautiful woodwork.”

Tampa real estate agent Rick Miller represented the buyer, a recent transplant from Ohio.  “She appreciated the lush tropical setting of the neighborhood,” Miller said, “and the home’s beautiful design and custom features made this one stand out from the rest.”

“She’s really thrilled,” says Miller of his client.  “She was ready to buy and we found her the perfect home at the right price.  It was meant to be.”

Although this is only one facet of the market as it relates to gauging trends, it does show that the inventory level of homes for sale has stabilized.  In addition, adjusted pricing has taken hold and property owners selling homes are now able to adjust pricing strategies with more confidence.  All of these factors can help in the process of developing sales.

The inventory of homes for sale in St Pete, although it had increased in first quarter, is now stabilizing and starting a slow steady decline.  The St. Petersburg market through the balance of 2010 will continue to experience further correction.  Ideally, this year the balance between inventory and price will compliment the number of buyers in the market, which will make a more even approach for both parties.

With the median price hitting a number significantly lower than Tampa, St. Petersburg may find that inventory will continue to decrease as many buyers become educated on the opportunities available within the market.  This is especially true considering many are now aware of how to meet their purchasing goals with continued availability of low interest rates.

As time passed during construction, so did the hot market. Price values fell, economy woes continued, and buyers lost interest.  Whether units were being purchased as a primary residence, a real estate investment, or a second home, many could no longer financially afford the new condo.  Buyers still excited to move in to the building found it difficult to obtain financing since the banking industry was hit so hard. The condominium market encountered new rules and regulations in order for banks to offer loans.  Since the project was no longer affordable to hold on to, Opus exited the development.  Their beautiful vision for Water’s Edge, however, remains.

Now, 5 years after the project began, a new buyer has acquired Water’s Edge at a discount price.  The building is now ready to be sold back to the public on the open market at today’s values, which are 50% less than original prices. Doors will open at the new Sales Office on property starting July 30th.

Smith & Associates Real Estate is proud to have been brought back into the fold as the on-site brokerage.  Having been involved in the project since the beginning, we look forward to offering our vast amount of product knowledge to the sales center and prospective Clearwater buyers. “We are enthusiastically suprised with the large amount of interest we’ve had thus far” says Dave Traynor, Director of Developer Services for Smith.  “We haven’t seen this many prospects interested in a new building in several years.”
