Looking to buy residential real estate in Tampa? Well, you’ve got more choices than ever! The number of brokered listings of properties in Tampa continues to rise, pushing 8400 as of this morning. That’s right. There are 8398 active listings in the City of Tampa today, over 1000 more than we saw at the beginning of this year.

What about sales? Well, in the first 15 days of March 2006, there were 524 units sold in Tampa. We’ve seen 242 properties sold, same period, this year. But 154 properties did go under contract in the past 7 days. Buyers are buying.

It’s just that supply (sellers) is out pacing demand, not good news for sellers as we enter the busier buying season.

Take a look at what is going under contract in the areas that we typically service.
