Newland Communities Poised for Real Estate Market Comeback
September 11th, 2008 categories: Communities, Covington Park, Home Buyer Information, News Around The Bay, Tampa Real Estate
Located in the heart of Apollo Beach, Newland Communities forges ahead with plans for their latest developement, Waterset. Newland’s plan is to be ready for the construction of new homes when the market turns around. Known for developing saught after communities throughout Hillsborough county such as Covington Park, Fishhawk Ranch and Mirabay, as well as others throughout the U.S. Newland looks to kick start the local real estate market by moving forward with plans to develope 6,400 homesites in a 2,350–acre master planned community.
Newland claims to be taking a longer view then some of the smaller developers who have scrapped projects. Realizing that a community of this size could take as long as 15 years to build out, Newland is in it for the long haul. Siting that Waterset isn’t the first community to start up in a downturn, and while planning started in 2004, it has changed with the market and will offer a diverse price point wih homes starting in the $140,000 and top out at $500,000 according to it’s regional marketing director. Waterset’s positive location and easy access to the interstate system, Tampa, Orlando, MacDill AirForce Base and the inviting Gulf beaches.
Still very much in the planning stages little is known about the details, but they do say there will be several lakes, retail, office space, restaurants and entertainment within the community. Along with parks, playgrounds, walking trails and a community center.
Other projects, such as an open air mall on Big Bend Road are still in the works, as well. Making the Southshore area of Hillsborough County a place where people moving to the area will definately want to explore.

Short Sales in a Buyer’s Market
June 10th, 2008 categories: Communities, Covington Park, Home Buyer Information, Home Seller Information, News Around The Bay, Preforeclosure, Short Sales Tampa, Tampa Real Estate
There are many homes on the market today, a good number of them listed as short sales. The basic definition in the Tampa market of a short sale is a home that will be sold for less than the actual amount owed.
Patience is a key word for buyers in making an offer on a short sale. Waiting for a third party approval can seem endless but once approved the process can move along quickly and buyers find themselves the proud owner of a home often times with built in equity.
Communication is an important part of the process, be sure to choose a Real Estate professional with short sales experience, willing to go the extra mile in keeping in touch and following up with sellers lenders and buyers to keep the transaction moving forward.

The Buyer’s Side of a Short Sale Transaction
May 23rd, 2008 categories: Communities, Covington Park, Home Buyer Information, News Around The Bay, Preforeclosure, Short Sales Tampa, Tampa Real Estate
With so many homes on the market these days listed as short sales, it makes alot of sense for buyers to consider a short sale purchase. One thing for sure is that buyers need to be patient when waiting on the lender’s approval. The good news is once that process is complete, buyers are finding it was worth the wait and they have purchased a home with immediate equity.
The best place to start when looking for a short sale property (or any other property for that matter ) is to talk to a lender and get a pre approval for an amount you are comfortable with, not how much they are willing to lend but how much you are willing to spend. All short sale offers are stronger when accompanied with a pre- approval and are often required to be submitted with a contract to the lender of record, before they will proceed.
The second thing is to work with a realtor who has short sale experience, understands the paperwork and protects your interest throughout the process. For more information contact Ticia Kervel at 813-760-1514 or email at Ticia@homewardre.com
My goal is your successful purchase and closing

Buyers, Purchase a Home With a Plan For The Future
November 21st, 2007 categories: Communities, Tampa Real Estate
Home ownership is a milestone most people look forward to, many with the idea that they will be in the home a long time. Sounds a little funny to say, think of resale before you even purchase a home but there are a few things to think about when making your decisions. Statistically, the average amount of time a person stays in a home is five years. What about this home will make it attractive to the next buyer ? Most people want a second bedroom, a den or a loft that can function as an office or room for guests. You may not want a pool but it could be a good idea to verify the property is large enough to accomodate one. Lastly location, you may not mind being on a busy street not everyone agrees, it might be a good idea to see if there are road widening or new roads planned for the area, or if a change in zoning is proposed.Circumstances in our lives change, often times our real estate needs change with them. Considering these things when buying could make your real estate Plan for the Future a whole lot brighter.
