So it’s understandable that one considering a home purchase may take their time to avoid rushing into such a large financial commitment. However, several factors might leave prospective home buyers who don’t purchase a property now wishing they had taken action sooner. “Current market conditions have created a perfect storm of sorts in the Tampa Bay Area that has made it an ideal time to purchase for first-time and trade-up buyers alike,” said Rick Frissell, Team Leader at Florida’s Beautiful Homes™. “Those who have the means and the (1 comments)

Nick Ruggeri, whom I have a huge amount of respect for, felt that we would see housing prices in Florida continuing to drop throughout 2010 and begin a serious rebound in the fall of this year. Ruggeri felt that 2011 would be an excellent year with the rebound in full swing for the foreseeable future. This (4 comments)
