Diana Sames Realtor New Trends end of 2012: Sadly, when a prospective tenant calls me for help or comes to the office I mostly have to say “sorry there is ‘nothing’ to Rent, so if you see an opportunity “grab it” quickly”. Sadly when a Buyers calls me for help or when they walk into my Office at REMAX PREFFERED on St Pete Beach, they are unlikely to find the price point or position they want any more? However, the last 2 years I have always had inventory for buyers that I would call “deals” and countless times I have said, “it is unlikely something like this will be available for another 5 or 6 years” because the "property in this location" or a "condo in this position" have not been on the market at all in the last 5 to 6 years! With all the Press and Buzz about Florida housing bust, most buyers simply went home thinking there would be more inventory and a better price opportunity "when they come down next year". Fact : Busy Realtors know their Market. Fact : Not many HOMES Exist on the Water or on our Gulf Sands period. Not many get to be homeowners on our beautiful barrier Islands. Especially those that are really walking distance to the Beach. FYI -locals of St Pete Beach to Clearwater Barrier Islands is commonly referred to as "THE beach". Fact : There is LIMITED INVENTORY at ANY time. Fact : Demand for Rentals is up Inventory is low. Do you have a Property to Rent and /or Sell Call a Professional Today?
