Baseball in the Sunshine State

by Paul Dugan on July 14, 2009

tampa_bay-raysAlthough we love our Marlins and our Tampa Bay Rays in Florida, to everyone else we are the baseball capital of the world from February through early April. No matter where you’re from or who you root for, come to Clearwater, Fl for Spring Training.

Many New York Yankees fans travel south to cheer on the pinstriped ones at George M. Steinbrenner Field, formerly known as Legends Field. You can see the World Champion Philadelphia Phillies, up close like you’d never see them in Citizen’s Bank Park.

Those Philly Phanatic lovers come here to spend their spring training season in Bright House Networks Field which opened in 2004. The fun Tiki Bar is part of the complex and offers the relaxing patio-style seating down the left-field line for the feel of a ballgame in your backyard! To make Philadelphia residents feel even more at home, two ballpark staples, Philly cheese steaks and Yuengling beer are served at the concessions.
You can come to Clearwater, Fl for the baseball but you’ll stay when you see the Clearwater, Fl homes for sale!

The absorption rate is a huge factor in the market status for Clearwater Fl homes for sale. This statistic is basically the measurement of the turnover of homes on the market or what is referred to as the inventory. The rate itself is determined by dividing the number of units sold during the month by the total number of listings in the MLS.

While we aren’t yet seeing 2006-like numbers, the 2009 trend is assuredly a positive one. It started at 4.9% in January and increased steadily to 8.9% in May. We can probably attribute most of the changes in Tampa Bay real estate numbers to several factors: buyers taking advantage of offered incentives, sellers allowing the market to dictate the price of their home, and those who needn’t sell right now not putting their home on the market. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you require any information!
