Ok, so you're realtor just called. That beautiful 3/2/1 Mediterranean-styled TH just went under contract, even though you only saw it this morning. Seems the seller signed right after your showing...and you just missed the opportunity of a lifetime, right?
Wrong.
If you have a savvy realtor, he or she should be advising you to MAKE A BACKUP OFFER!
"Oh, not a backup offer," you say, " they take up too much time and you might never get the property."
Um, hello...isn't that the definition of all short sales????
Let me enlighten you, without charge, to one of the little short sale secrets in our business...the FIRST buyer RARELY gets the home...it's normally the SECOND but most likely the THIRD buyer who puts an offer in that gets it.
Now this may be hard to believe, but let me illustrate w/ Buyer A, B, & C.
Buyer A is hitting the streets hard...they know everything out there, are waving their mortgage pre-approval letter at anyone who will notice, and have written about 4 offers that have gotten nowhere. I just listed that beautiful 3/2/1 Med-styled TH at a competitive price that I can justify (the key!). Buyer A comes screaming in 3 days after it hits the market and write an offer on the hood of their agent's car (yeah, that used to happen). The seller executes the offer and then....
...they wait...
...and wait...
...and wait some more.
Days pass, then a couple weeks, and now a month. They get an update every once and a while - the bank this or the bank that. No negotiator, no BPO done yet. So they wait some more...
In the meantime, Buyer A keeps hoping (and shopping).
Buyer B comes along after about 5 weeks of my listing being on the market and they love it, too. Perfect for their first home. I tell the agent there's an offer in place but NO BACKUPS. Buyer B thinks about it, thinks some more, but just can't get the motivation to put in that backup. After all, backup's never work out.
About 7 weeks into it, we get the BPO done and a negotiator assigned. Buyer A gets a momentary blur of excitement. And then waits some more. Oh, a new TH just came on the market for $10k and it's NOT a short sale...hmmm.
At about Week 8, Buyer C comes through. They are savvy, know about the contract in place, have asked how long the 1st contract has been in place, and that there are no backups. They put in a backup BUT decide to keep shopping. Now they have reserved a spot and all they have to do is serve written notice if they want to cancel...done deal.
About this time, Buyer B (or D, E, F, etc) comes back...but it's too late. You can be a 2nd backup, which still isnt bad, but your odds are much less). Buyer A has emotionally moved on...they pull their contract. Buyer C slides right into 1st place, the bank negotiator substitutes their name into the deal, and 2 - 4 weeks later, I email them the approval letter.
This happens ALL DAY LONG. So don't be an "B"...if you can't be an "A" then be a "C" and cash in on everyone else's time and waiting!

August stats are in and they aren't half bad. We have not fropped through 28,000 units yet, which I would have liked to see. I still believe our "healthy" Tampa Bay area levels are around 15,000 - 18,000 homes for sale. So we are slightly less than double our normal inventory, which is still applying downward pressure to prices.
I am amazed that some of average sale prices are up to 25% LOWER than their original listing price and around 85% - 90% of the current list price.
However, there are buyers out there. Recently wrote an offer for a client for a small bank-owned forclosure that was on the market for just 3 days. Wouldn't you know the realtor had 10+ offers in under 72 hours of listing the property! Normal retail homes in average condition will find their values similiar to what they were in 2002 & 2003...you can't change it and the new privacy fence or low flow toilets will not add extra value to the home.

Well, the summer rush has come to an end. Much like the peak we saw in 2006, we may have just experienced another peak (I believe future trends will bear this out) in our 2009 home buying trend. Our market has been having meaningful month over month gains, especially in our monthly ABSORPTION RATE, but that has come to an end with July's numbers. Absorption rates for each category - Tampa Bay area, Pinellas County, and the Beaches - all decreased in July compared to June's rates. I believe this to be a seasonal decrease and not indicative of a steeper market decline.
What did continue to go down was our inventory - YEAH! When our inventory gets back to pre-runup levels - less than 20,000 units and closer to 15,000 units - we will see home prices stabilize. Unfortunately, we are still at 28,000+ units. at our current rate of sale, there will be no price stabilization until AT LEAST Summer 2010...more likely END of 2010. It's not the best news, but it is the light at the end of the tunnel.
The Beaches continue to be extremely soft, compared with Tampa Bay and Pinellas County as a whole.

The May numbers are in and the most noticeable trend is our sinking inventory, which is 1 half of the supply demand equation. Inventory is hovering at the 31,000 unit mark, which is the lowest level in at least 2 years. Is the market stabilizing...yes. But like a train coming to a stop, it will take time.
Another notable number is the ABSORPTION RATE for Tampa Bay area homes...almost 10%. we haven't seen double digit absorption rates in about 18 months. In laymans terms, roughly 1 out of every 10 homes listed for sale actually sold in the month of May.
Beach properties are stabilizing, but the Days on Market is HORRENDOUS. Beach condo sellers can expect their average sale time to be 154 day...5 months! By pricing competitively and being open to buyer incentives, you can shave this time way down.

APRIL HOME/CONDO SALES NUMBERS FOR THE TAMPA BAY AREA!
It is my personal belief, given the unemployment rate, plummeting incomes, and the inflation just around the corner, that our market has quite a bit of time ahead of it before it "turns the corner". However, April sales numbers are surprisingly strong, given the last 6 tumultuous months.
However, strong is a relative word. 9 out of every 100 homes sold in April...quite a difference from the meteoric (and now unsustainable) 30 to 40 homes per 100 sold in 2005 - 2006. Single family homes, which make up roughly twice as much of the Tampa Bay market as condos do, registered the strongest performance, most likely owing the the fact that prices have receded to 2002 & 2003 levels.
Beach properties are still weak, but much stronger than recent prior months. Final sales prices for all classes of homes are in the low 80% range...meaning that if you list your home, on average you will sell it at around 80% of it's initial listed value...Sellers, take note!!!

November was bleak, as expected. Overall home & condo sales rates were about a point lower than October’s sales rates. Pending home sales ticked up (as reported by several media outlets) but many of those don’t make it to closing the next month (or at all!). Pricing is still homeseller’s strongest sales tactic – distressed properties in Tampa Bay sold at an AVERAGE PRICE 23% LOWER than non-distressed properties, which is very stiff competition.
Below is a 5 year lookback at our inventory in Tampa Bay – November’s inventory dipped below 38,000 units for sale for the 1st time in AT LEAST 2 YEARS! Our current rate of supply decay from Nov ‘07 to Nov ’08 is 10%...at current rates, barring any major increase in buyers or inventory, it would take 10 YEARS to get back to healthy, sustainable levels, i.e. 12,000 – 14,000 units! I think the turnaround will be quicker, but no sooner than 2010 until we see that “healthier” market.
Expect December to be as slow as November. I am experiencing more showing calls and also taking clients out more often. I also expect a mental shift in homebuyers in the 1st quarter of 2009 as 1) confidence in a new administration 2) low mtg rates 3) low prices and 4) increased job stability encourage homeowners to explore our market.

Real estate continues to take a hit in the Tampa Bay area as we grapple with 3 times the normal amount of inventory and only 6 out of 100 available properties selling in the Tampa metro area.
The beaches, spurred by investors and "flippers", are still in sticker shock as only 3 out 100 available properties sold in October.
The global credit crises may be to blame for the lower than anticipated numbers, but in the end we are still in a supply vs. demand correction. Condos are doing only half as well are SFH, but both types of homeowners are seeing sales prices at appr 80% - 85% of the original sales price...
