If you would like to receive a copy of this 30 page in depth analysis just send us an email with your request. The file is in PDF format so I cannot post it to the site.As a Real Estate agent working with buyers; these are the trends I’ve seen over the last 3 months in the Tampa Bay area.

• Buyers who are inquiring are investors that have money in REITS and realize that it makes good business sense to buy low.

• People wanting to move to Florida, or purchase a second home to buy now and have for retirement.
• Buyer’s who need to relocate for their jobs.
