 Pinellas County Real Estate – Today we’ll look at lates Pinellas County Real Estate values focusing on North Pinellas County home prices and what’s sold. (You can also see all Pinellas County FL homes for sale) – I wanted to share this chart that shows what home prices are doing in North Pinellas County in the cities of Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Tarpons Springs and Oldsmar. (This graph is only for single family homes not condos.) While the median home values are still declining you have to look at what’s happening in specific neighborhoods and homes on an individual basis. The thing most buyers are surprised to hear is that homes are actually selling at about 92% of the asking price so even though prices are down – sellers are pricing more realistically so the days of getting 20% off are gone in my opinion – while there are some deals like that it usually means you’ll be turning around and investing signifcantly in the home so you’re still not really getting a comparable home at 20% off in my experience.

Oldsmar homes (I.e. East Lake Woodlands) has seen some major price stabilization in 2010 after a significant drop over the last year.

When working with home buyers we do this analysis for the specific homes and areas you’re looking at since the market is still very dynamic. We are seeing lots of changes in the market and we are happy to give you the latest info.

Highland Woods Homes SOLD – Dunedin Real Estate

So what’s been happening Highland Woods Dunedin real estate market? Well for the last seven months only about 1 home a month has been selling (since March 2008) . Also of note is the fact that no Highland Woods homes sold in January or February of 2008. One has sold every month except May, however there is 1 currently pending and 1 Highland woods home is active with contract.  

So what’s happened to the price of homes in Highland Woods Dunedin FL this year? This is the questions home buyers always want to know. Well we discussed that the fact that at least 5 people have been in some stage of pre-foreclosure, short sale, foreclosure or bank owned REO - and so it’s no surprise that SOLD prices have decreased the last months. The last Highland Woods home sold was a foreclosure and sold for $114 a square foot – OUCH!  Not counting this distressed home we’ve seen home prices go from $156 a square foot in March to $137 a square foot in June with the foreclosure in July.

So where are Highland Woods home prices now? Well it will be interesting to see what the two homes under contract end up selling for. We are seeing more homes selling and yet when you have 20 months of inventory in this neighborhood – there’s no doubt it’s still a strong buyer’s market by definition.
