Pinellas Waterfront Property Values and the BP Oil Spill
July 23rd, 2010 categories: Beaches and Boating, Pinellas Waterfront Homes
Pinellas waterfront property buyers are asking us questions about the impact of the BP oil spill on Pinellas County home values. Will the spill reach our beautiful beaches? That’s the $6M question. And yes, we too are concerned about our beaches and home values. 
Here’s a shot from our trip to Honeymoon Island last weekend, and of course you’ll note from this picture that no oil has hit our beaches - nor has any been detected even many miles off our coast. Some say that because of the gulf stream that’s unlikely to happen unless perhaps we get a hurricane. What would happen to home values if the oil comes ashore in Tampa Bay? Governor Christ said Wednesday in a special session of the Florida Legislature that “It is logical to predict that the oil spill will result in declining property values” as reported here by the Florida Association of Realtors.
I wish we had more to offer than the thought that worrying about the oil spill is like worrying about a hurricane. We Floridians love it here for so many reasons – including our glorious white sand beaches. Ask most any Floridian and they’ll tell you we don’t stay up nights worrying about hurricanes, getting hit by a bus or terrorist attacks.
Meanwhile, we’re seeing that Pinellas Waterfront property prices of homes under $400K are stabilizing.
Tell us what you think by leaving a reply below! We’d love to hear from you!

Pinellas Waterfront Homes: 3308 Summerfield Cove Palm Harbor 34683
June 12th, 2010 categories: Palm Harbor Homes, Pinellas Waterfront Homes
This 5,052 sf 3BR 4BA custom deep water Gulf access home with pool is located on the causeway to the almost-secret Indian Bluff Island in Palm Harbor. It’s not often Pinellas Waterfront homes for sale overlook 15+ acres of a mangrove-lined salt water preserve!
There’s a generous gourmet chef’s kitchen with custom mahongany cabinetry with granite and onyx counter tops. There’s a private balcony off the master suite plus a home office on the 3rd floor with Panoramic gulf views. Out back there’s not only a dock and covered boat lift but a beautiful pool featuring a rock waterfall spa surrounded by pavers and a lush preserve.
As a former Indian Bluff Island resident, I can tell you that we spent plenty of time walking and riding by this beautiful home when it was first built. It’s rare to find a Pinellas home with so much privacy and protected dockage that’s only 200 yards or so to the open bay and then it’s a quick ride to the intercoastal.
There are blue prints to turn the 3rd bedroom into two private bedrooms making this a 4 bedroom home. This home has every upgrade imaginable – too many to list here! This Palm Harbor home is only 45 minutes to Tampa, 5 minutes to world famous beaches by car or by boat, and 5 minutes to five star Innisbrook Golf Resort.
3308 Summerfield Cove is currently being offerred at $1.2M.
Call us at 727-366-0324 for additional information and for your private viewing.

Pinellas Waterfront Homes Are Selling Like Hotcakes
April 29th, 2010 categories: Pinellas Waterfront Homes
There are only 72 Pinellas Waterfront Homes for sale between Clearwater and Tarpon Springs in North Pinellas County. And they are selling like hotcakes! 20 have sold since January and another 9 are pending. In January, we went on record saying that the supply of Pinellas waterfront homes in the lower price brackets were drying up. And WHOA Baby, our study of the data again just now really drives that point home.
Ozona Florida Looking at Honeymoon and Caladessi Islands
There’s only ONE single family waterfront house available under $300,000 and another four between $300K and $400K. Of those that sold, only two were under $300,000 and one was under $400,000. The absorption rate calculations show us that there’s only a one month’s supply of inventory whereas most homes have a 5 - 1/2 month supply overall.
The Pinellas Waterfront Homes ”How Low Will They Go” PARTY is OVER.
Why aren’t you hearing about it elsewhere? Well, we specialize in Pinellas County waterfront homes and neighborhoods and we take the time to crunch the numbers that aren’t published elsewhere.
In case you’re from out of the area, this is a picture of the waterfront between Ozona Fl and the Dunedin Causeway to Honeymoon Island. Our aerial photographer, Jerry, couldn’t seem to zoom in on the ‘for sale’ signs left standing!

Affordable Pinellas Waterfront Homes Hit Bottom?!
January 5th, 2010 categories: Pinellas Waterfront Homes
Aacck! Pinellas Waterfront property that’s affordable – under $350K – is just about impossible to find. We’ve had that sense for awhile, yet today it was confirmed after spending hours scouring Pinellas waterfront homes for sale from Crystal Beach FL down to Clearwater under $600K for a couple of buyer clients.
I had the sense I was picking at a Thanksgiving turkey carcass. Sorry - that’s disgusting – yet that’s the first thought I had and I’m sticking with it. 
HOLY COW – I mean TURKEY! That explains why our phones are ringing off the hook recently for our Pinellas waterfront homes that have been ‘active with contract’ or ‘pending sales’ in the Pinellas MLS. There’s practically nothing left except the picked over remains OR those rare listings that haven’t been noticed by most agents due to a glitch in the somewhat recent upgrade of the MLS system. HA! (We confess we are competitors and love having an edge in this regard). Yet….
I’m frustrated that finding homes for these buyers and meeting their expectations is going to be challenging.
I’m OVERJOYED for this slap in the face realization that there aren’t many affordable Pinellas waterfront homes left. Why? I’m going out on a limb here, yet, trust me, it’s a great indicator that we’ve perhaps hit the bottom in this segment of the market. Call it a fluke – or a sign of good things to come.
Time will tell and we’ll keep you posted. ~ Julia
