tampa home values: Home Size Matter to Seniors
- 10/20/13 03:04 AM

The National Association of Home Builders’ “What Home Buyers Really Want” survey indicates the amount of space a buyer requires drops steadily as the age of the buyer increases.

tampa home values: As Flowers Bloom, The Tampa Housing Markets Do, Too!

tampa home values: Can A Tampa Neighborhood Affect a Homes Appraisal?
- 02/16/13 03:09 AM
It's true: Bad neighbors can lower home values. Appraisers even have a term for bad neighborhoods and other troublesome hyperlocal issues that can affect property values: external obsolescence.

"Homeowners should be aware of what is going on in their neighborhood and how others’ bad behaviors could affect their home’s value." It is recommended that prospective homebuyer visit the street where they're considering buying at different times … (3 comments)
