Buying and Selling at the Same Time in Tampa Bay



Today we’re back with another edition of our blog, where we share the latest real estate trends, tips, and strategies to help you succeed in the market. This time, we’re going to be talking about what you can do if you need to buy a new home and sell your current one at the same time.

If you’re a seller, the first thing you need to do, if you’ve found a buyer for your home, is make sure that the buyer has obtained a pre-approval letter from a bona fide lender stating that they are not required to sell their home in order to purchase yours. This way, you won’t be left in the lurch at the last moment if they fail to sell their home.


One way to be absolutely sure about your buyer is to ask their agent if they have a valid buyer for their home with a pre-approval letter. You can even ask to see a copy of the contract. It’s not 100% guaranteed, but you would have a better chance of knowing that your sale will go through.

What about if you’re a buyer that needs to sell first? Well, first off you need to know that many sellers will not be interested in talking to you until your home is at least under contract. However, if you are a buyer, you could target a home that has been languishing on the market without many offers. These are the kinds of sellers that would entertain a contingent offer from you.

In any event, it’s a brisk market out there in Tampa Bay, and it’s a great time to buy or sell. If we can help you in any way, or if you have any questions for us, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to hear from you!

What Does Low Inventory Mean for Buyers and Sellers in Tampa?



When inventory is low, it means that homes are not very plentiful in our Long Island real estate market. When there aren’t enough homes available, sellers benefit and buyers will have a tough time finding a good deal on a home.

We’re currently seeing low inventory in Tampa, so all homeowners should know that their properties will be in demand if they decide to list them for sale. When homes are in demand, they sell quicker and for more money. Sellers can also get away with not improving every aspect of their home. Buyers will have to settle for a home that’s not landscaped if homes are in high demand.


This is great news for sellers, but buyers need to prepare for a competitive market. You need to know what you want to buy, and you need to act on your impulses when you see something that you like.

One thing that is working in the favor of buyers is that we are still seeing historically low interest rates. You can save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your loan with these extremely low rates. The longer you wait, the more expensive it will become to buy a home. Interest rates are only set to keep rising.

If you need help crafting a winning home offer for a seller, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We look forward to hearing from you!
