Answers for all your real estate questions If we don t know, we can find out. The Market, in all its forms continues to grow. We are seeing more new construction in Pinellas County than we have for years, and that includes continued significant condo and apartment development in the downtown St Petersburg area. The beaches are again active and communities like Madeira Beach are looking to make changes. The City of Madeira Beach, according to a recent article in the Times, is looking to change the Charter so that local City officials rather than the residents can choose whether to sell public lands and otherwise dispose of land that may now be a park, and easement or right of way. The article assures us that the new City Center won t be sold. This is a big change from the recent tendency of community populations being in ultimate control of public lands. It may well facilitate the growth of the community, the tax base and needed changes many think are long overdue. It should be a good discussion item for parties and neighborhood gatherings, and everybody should stay informed so that they cannot complain later. According to our local Board of Realtors, sales are staying strong throughout the County. March, year over year 2014 and 2015, sales for traditional home sales are up almost 42% and prices are up almost 11%. Traditional townhomes and condo sales numbers are also up, though not as much at about 29% with prices up almost 5%. Just about the only thing that is down is inventory. While this may encourage some to wait, the fact that interest rates are staying down means there are many more Buyers now in the market looking for homes and we are once again seeing bidding situations for good homes.

Listings Statistics per MLS as of 03/15/2015 Continued From Page 1 From Mike We continue to enjoy the most sought after destinations in the country. Per statistics compiled by NOAA, in 2010, 39% of the population lived in counties adjacent to the shorelines. By 2020 that percentage is expected to grow by another 8%. That means that properties that are well situated and able to stand the rigors of coastal living will have increasing value. Those built on slab below the base flood elevation, and/or constructed with antiquated heating and outdated electrical systems may do well to push their local governments to decrease set-backs to allow for bigger but updated homes on smaller lots, reduce minimum lot sizes to provide for more opportunities so that current and future owners can expand, elevate and justify the expense of land to allow for larger residential properties, close to the beach, if not on it and developing more neighborhood communities with shared green space, pedestrian friendly artistic communities, and even shopping and retail mixed use. Failing that property owners may do well to see if they can assemble their adjoining properties for sale to allow for newer development that many communities now prefer.

Five Tips for Attracting and Retaining Small Retailers at Your Strip Center C21 Online 5-15 Are you the owner of a strip center? Whether your retail property is 5,000 square feet or 50,000, grocery-anchored or not, your success depends upon the small retail "mom and pop" shops that comprise it. That's why it's essential that you, as landlord, hone your ability to attract and retain good tenants. Here are some tips for achieving success with your strip center: Make sure you have the right tenant mix. Research the consumer demographics in your market and determine whom you are trying to attract to your strip mall. Then seek out tenants to service those customers. Vet prospective tenants appropriately. Does the retailer have the necessary experience and capital to be successful? Remember that start-ups are less likely to succeed due to lack of experience and, often, capital. Review the tenant's business plan to ensure that the owner has thought through his or her own road to success as a retailer. Also, evaluate the owner's personality. Customers buy from retailers they like and trust. Once your tenant is situated and open for business, monitor its sales reports to keep tabs on how the business is doing. Since a landlord's success depends upon that of his or her tenants, this is key. Assist the tenant with marketing, if necessary. Some larger landlords will even offer business-consulting services to their tenants to help them achieve success. Be a good landlord. Establish a good rapport with your tenants as well as two-way communication. Keep the property safe and looking good to continue to attract customers.
