Yesterday I had the opportunity to take the boat tour of Tampa Bay with our company CENTURY 21 Beggins with our broker / captain Craig Beggins. We boarded the vessel at Bella Sol Condominiums on Apollo Beach Blvd which by the way are excellent investment. After boarding the boat we toured the area entering Tampa Bay via Bal Harbor. Some of the areas we passed during our tour were the waterfront communities of Andalucia, Symphony Isles, and Mirabay. As we entered the bay and passed the waterfront homes within Andalucia we were greeted by a couple of dolphins and the friendly residents out enjoying the Florida lifestyle. We continued out into the bay watching the boat crash over the waves when we come to a stop to take in the views of the wonderful water. In the distance you can see downtown Tampa to the right, and to the left you can see downtown St. Petersburg. Looking further towards the horizon you can see the Sunshine Skyway Bridge to the south and to the north you can see Beer Can Island.
What I found interesting during our boat tour, you can travel from Apollo Beach and reach the pier in downtown St. Petersburg in 20 minutes or the Convention Center in downtown Tampa in just about the same. Both Tampa and St. Petersburg are 12 miles from Apollo Beach via the open water. Also in Apollo Beach there are no bridges which allow you to have your sailboat and best of all dock it on your private dock behind your home. Apollo Beach has over 40 miles of salt water canals and most are deep enough for the sailboats.
So to sum up the boat tour, Apollo Beach has some of the best boating areas within the State of Florida and it is right in our backyard. The prices are right to buy, interest rates are at 30 year lows, and the inventory is high (however shrinking daily) which makes this the perfect time to buy.
CENTURY 21 Beggins offers free boat tours of the Tampa area and I invite each and every one of you to take the tour. The tours are conducted every Saturday morning and RSVP is required. Call me today at 813.394.0764 to reserve your space or of course you can email me at KennySchaaf@century21beggins.com.

WOW !! This is all I can say. The numbers came out today for the Tampa real estate market and homes sales were up 23%. That is a amazing number and it means prices won't stay this low long.
If you are thinking about buying now is the time as the prices will adjust to the market. If you are a first time home buyer you get a $8000.00 tax credit that don't have to be repaid. If you are thinking about buying investment property buying now can give you a positive cash flow.
If you are interested give me a call at 813.394.0764.
Well, finally some good news about the housing market. New home sales rose 2.7 percent duing the month of September after they expected the sales to decline.
If you are in the market for a new home the buyer incentives have never been better. Most builders are offering great financing options along with several upgrades. In the Hillsborough County area, I know of 2 builders that are selling new homes with nearly 1800 square feet for the mid 100's. The price of the home is actually lower than the cost to build which means a great deal for the consumer.
If you are in the market for a new home, call me and we can discuss your options. Until next time stay safe and take care.

Are you taking advantage of this market?
On Wednesday October 29th, 2008 come join us at CENTURY 21 Beggins Enterprises at 6543 N. US HWY. 41, STE. 101 Apollo Beach FL. for a seminar being presented by the broker Craig Beggins.
This seminar is based on the information in our market on short sales and foreclosures. If you find yourself in a position where you need to move and you have no equity, behind on payments, or faced with other unforeseen circumstances a short sale may be your answer. As you have heard in all of the news reports, short sales and foreclosures are very common now more than ever and Florida is 2nd in the nation with these filings. The current trend with short sales allows you to take advantage of the current market trends and lenders are allowing YOU to settle for less than you owe, and most times with a forgiveness of debt. What this means for you is walking away from a bad situation and allowing you to start over fresh.
Now on the other hand, if you are looking for a home there isn't a better time than the present to do so. Home are being sold at 2003 prices allowing you to get into homes at a substantially lower price than they were sold for previously, and if it's a newer home you can get into a lot of homes lower than the actual cost to build. We have a saying at CENTURY 21 Beggins that we are having "a ½ Price sale" because this is what a lot of times homes are selling for from their previous prices.
If you would like to take advantage of this market and see how it can help you, join us for this presentation Wednesday October 29th, 2008 at our Apollo Beach Office at 6:00 PM. RSVP are requested at 813-394-0764 or email me at kennyschaaf@century21beggins.com.
Thanks for taking your time, and best of luck to you in the future.
