I really don’t see the prices ever going down much in South Tampa from their highs currently.” The Tampa market over the last 12 months is beginning to shift into a neutral but still sellers market. Although that may be the case, Sylvana believes you will still get the most bang for your buck in an area like South Tampa for your next home.
Big Driving Forces For Out of State Movers to Tampa
Sylvana believes that Tampa’s corporate and sports growth has had a lot to do with the city’s recent boom for out of state home buyers. Murphy went on to say, “Tampa has a lot of sports teams that certainly help with a lot of tourism. Between the many corporate offices that have moved to Tampa and proximity to Orlando there are both a lot of leisure things to do as well as career opportunities in Tampa.” Over the last five or so years, Tampa has dramatically changed besides the normal things like midtown, & downtown. There are a lot of new developments in areas such as Water Street and several other real estate projects expected to be built.

You aren’t coming to a finished city is all I have to say for those thinking of moving to Tampa. You are coming to a city that is emerging and certainly has a lot of opportunities on the horizon for new homeowners.”
