Tampa new homes

Tampa metro area poised for housing market growth.

Florida’s Tampa new homes are receiving a lot of attention these days, and for good reason. In a recent Tampa Tribune article, called Housing uptick on horizon, the Tampa metro area was singled out as being in the best position for a turnaround during Florida’s future housing market growth.

Why is Tampa’s future looking so bright? There are several reasons including a decrease in housing inventory in the area. Also, it costs the same (or in many cases less) to purchase a new home than it does to rent, and housing prices are cheap when compared to income. Plus, you get a return on investment when you buy that you don’t get to take advantage of when you rent. Finally, many buyers are benefiting from historically low interest rates and are beginning to snatch up new homes. Read More→
