Pinellas County Florida Real Estate Market Statistics For November 2013



The statistics are out for November 2013, and short sale closings are way down! 
Two reasons for this - as prices increase, more homeowners are equitable, and can sell their homes without doing a short sale.  However, the other reason is banks appear to be less willing to negotiate a short sale, and the Florida court system has been quick to process foreclosures, so some homes that would have been granted a short sale in the past, are now being foreclosed.
Please visit our website at http://cometoclearwater.com/real-estate-news/ for all the latest real estate statistics for Pinellas County Florida.
If you are curious what you home is worth in today's market, click here, or call us at 727-216-9247.

What's my home worth? Sand Key-Clearwater Beach, FL Home Values

http://clearwaterbeachforsale.kwrealty.com/sell/

Condos in the Sand Key-Clearwater Beach Florida area are in high demand! Many qualified buyers are looking for waterfront condos as second homes, but the low inventory of Clearwater condos is making it a challenge for buyers to find what they are looking for. 

We understand a lot of homeowners have not even considered selling their homes lately because of the drop in home values a few years ago, which has resulted in fewer choices for buyers. However you might be surprised to learn how much your home is worth today. Most communities in Clearwater Florida are now considered to be in a sellers' market, due to the supply and demand shift.

If you have been thinking of selling your Sand Key-Clearwater Beach home, but aren't sure how much you can get for it, please call Sand Key Realtor, Deborah Ward, at 727-216-9247.
Or, just complete the brief form, and we will respond quickly to your request.

"You have 17 hours to sell my house."

"You have 17 hours to sell my house."

This is what I heard from my newest seller as I was listing the home.  Now, I think she was half kidding when she said it, but the look on her face told me that there was a part of her that was deadly serious.  The last home in her subdivsion sold 17 hours after it went on the market, and she challenged me to do the same.
The home is located in Pinellas Park, Florida, and overall, we are in a seller's market. I was confident the house was priced right to sell quickly, the seller had a done a great job of clearing the clutter and cleaning the home, and I had my marketing plan in place to reach a large audience.  Even still, I thought to myself; 17 hours - that's a tall order!
The listing was enterered into the MLS at 7:00 p.m. on Friday evening.  Saturday morning we scheduled the first showing for 12:00 noon that day -- exactly 17 hours later!  And don't you know it, the buyer from that showing wrote an offer that was accepted by the seller.  We met our seller's 17 hour challenge!  In fact, we ended up receiving multiple offers on the property and our seller is thrilled to start preparing for closing!
If you are a Pinellas County, Florida homeowner who is thinking about selling your home, give us a call at 727-216-9247.  While we can't guarantee we will sell your home in 17 hours, we do have all the tools necessary to sell your home fast and for top dollar!

ST PETERSBURG FLORIDA HOME FOR SALE - Steps to the Pink Streets of Pinellas Point and Tampa Bay


St. Petersburg Florida Realtors, Deborah Ward & Associates, have just listed a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 2 car garage home at 1471 Pinellas Point Drive, St. Petersburg, Florida 

REDUCED to $250,000!


1471 Pinellas Point Drive is located in a hidden gem of a neighborhood tucked into the southern tip of Pinellas County, Florida. Just steps away are the famous "Pink Streets" of St. Petersburg, which is a neighborhood originally built in the 1920's. One of the developer's unique ideas for building this waterfront community included the painting of the roads pink - more of muted rose pink, not a bright pink. And although over the years as repairs have been made, the streets remain pink to this day! The character of these streets adds to the special feeling of this neighborhood with its large shade trees and curvy roads which lead to the open water of Tampa Bay Below is an aerial view of part of the neighborhood  - note the color of the streets and a glimpse of Tampa Bay in the lower right corner: Click here for a map of the home and the surrounding neighborhood.



This desirable Pinellas Point home is a delight!
Living-dining room looking into family room

From the interesting architectural details, to the premiere location in Pinellas County, this house has a lot to offer! The sweeping circular driveway invites you to the attractive front entrance with double door entry.

From the moment you enter the property, you will enjoy the gleaming terrazzo floors, wide open floor plan and the stylish custom details throughout.  The custom "tray" ceilings, neutral colors and oversized family room make this the perfect home for entertaining!



The angular kitchen features all new stainless steel appliances, marble mosaic tile backsplash and warm, coral toned marble counters, new fixtures, full-sized pantry with frosted glass door, and a custom built island all add to the character of this beautiful home!
The original terrazzo flooring, which is a classic detail in homes of this vintage, has been preserved in many of the rooms.




From the double stainless steel sink there are three windows overlooking the front yard which make this kitchen light and bright.

The owners preserved the original wood cabinetry and gave them a new crisp white painted finish to perfectly complement the gleaming marble tile counters.




French doors in the kitchen lead out to a private patio area on the side of the house that is the perfect spot for a grill and enjoying a meal "al fresco"



This home offers a split-plan layout, luxurious master suite, stylish remodeled bathroom and oversized walk-in closet. The generously sized guest bedrooms, "classic meets modern" guest bath, and large lot complete the package.


Master bath vanity
Master bath shower with custom tile work


Guest bath with original aquamarine ceramic tile and modern vessel sink 


This home is located just minutes from I-275 with easy access to downtown St. Pete, Tampa
International Airport, the Gulf beaches of St. Pete and Treasure Island, or head south on the Sunshine
Skyway Bridge for a short drive to Bradenton and Sarasota and to visit the beautiful beaches of
Anna Maria Island, Lido Key, Long Boat Key and Siesta Key.
