Pinellas MLS June 2010 Analysis on Pinellas County Home Values
There were 11,823 homes for sale in Pinellas County as of June, a 7.35% decrease from last year. Meanwhile, the Pinellas MLS reports that single family residential sales were up 7.5% since June of ’09 and condo sales remained at the same level. So yes, despite what you hear on the news, homes are still readily selling. And 51.08% of June sales were CASH transactions (hint hint to you ’regular’ home buyers – investors are out in full force!). 
What’s happening with pricing? The Pinellas MLS reports that the median price for single family homes dropped slightly—1.2% while condo sales experienced a 17% drop year over year. The average sales price for single family homes and condos combined only dropped 3.1%. This is corroborated with S&P’s July 27, 2010 Case-Shiller Home Price Index for Tampa (single family homes and condos combined) which reports a 1.5% drop year over year.
Meanwhile, our friends at Trulia (yes, I’m being facetious) are reporting a 17.3% drop for Tampa Bay and our other favorite friends Zillow are reporting a 6.5% drop for Pinellas County. Lesson learned? Friends shouldn’t let friends do Zesstimates!
