Is Now the Time to Buy a House in St. Pete?

Описание: Is now the time to buy real estate in St. Petersburg or the Tampa Bay area?

In this week’s Deals of the Week, I break down that exact question — and show you three homes that might make you rethink waiting.
Over the last few months, the market has shifted in ways most people aren’t talking about.

Sellers are negotiating again. Builders are offering incentives. Prices have softened in key neighborhoods. And the “interest rate shock” that froze the market last year is finally wearing off.

In the video, I walk through the real pros and cons buyers are weighing right now:

Pros:
• Sellers are finally meeting the market
• Builders are offering real incentives on new construction
• Home prices have adjusted in many areas
• 6–7% interest rates feel different than they did a year ago
• Pent‑up demand from buyers who delayed in 2022–2024
Cons:
• Rates probably aren’t going back to the 4’s
• Anti‑homeownership sentiment is real
• Inflation has slowed down some buyers’ savings
• Job‑market uncertainty (AI, industry shifts, etc.)

If you’ve been on the fence — or if you’re one of the many people who delayed buying over the last couple of years — this video will give you a clear, honest look at what’s happening right now in St. Pete and Tampa Bay.
And of course… I’ve got three great houses to show you.
