Looking back at Real Estate News in December 2008, and reviewing real estate market conditions and news of March 2009, bolsters the conclusion that the time to buy real estate is NOW.

A recent article from The New York Times , "It May Be Time to Think About Buying a House", highlights that fact that first-time home buyers need to act now in order to take full advantage of their buying potential. "Five or 10 years from now, when the financial crisis has ended and housing prices are up smartly once more, we will look in the rear view mirror and realize that we missed a golden age for first-time home buyers.Then, everyone who sat on their down payment savings accounts for a few years too long will kick themselves for not taking advantage of what may turn out to be the buying opportunity of a lifetime for those who can qualify for a mortgage"

According to this article, first-time home buyers still have the same advantage as always, being that they do not have current property that has to be sold first. That is an added advantage in areas where many available houses simply are not moving, because the people trying to sell them will not be bidding against you.

If you are waiting for the whistle to blow, listen carefully. Do you hear it? Listen... Do you hear it now? First time home buyers, local, national and global investors, are all are active in Tampa Bay's real estate market today.

When the real estate market started to take a downturn a couple of years ago, foreign investors started to shy away from investing in the United States. All of that has changed in the last year with the rise of bank-owned homes and properties on the market at unbelievable prices sparking interest from local and international real estate buyers. This coupled with the weakened U.S. dollar against the strength of the Canadian dollar, the Euro, and the pound which makes foreign investors' money stretch farther than it ever has before in today's buyer's market.

Tampa, Florida has always had active, powerful interest from international real estate investors, visitors and buyers. Right now, many are ready to take advantage of the foreclosure prices to buy a second home for vacation, for a child to attend the University of Tampa or the University of South Florida, or even for the abundant buyer opportunities that are available in the Tampa Bay area.

"Much of Tampa Bay's international popularity stems from our award winning beaches in Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Fort DeSoto. Tampa's proximity to world renowned attractions like Disney World, Universal Studios and the greater Orlando area put us in a prime position for global investors, "says Nibal Elsaadi of SI Real Estate Investments in Tampa, Florida. "We have high rises that boast post-modern and Art Deco architecture and the redevelopment of Tampa's downtown area and Riverwalk have been made a high priority and thus has driven investors to the area." In addition to the revitalization of Tampa's urban areas, South Tampa, New Tampa and West chase have proven to be established communities which have held their real estate values remarkably.

Real estate properties are priced at the lowest in many years in Tampa Bay, especially foreclosure and bank owned properties , both which used to have a negative stigma associated with them, but investors and every day buyers now realize that many of these homes are move-in ready and do not require a large amount of renovations. This is appealing to buyers and investors from overseas who may not have the time to renovate a long-term project. Tampa is absolutely feeling the positive effects of booming foreign real estate investment. SI Real Estate has been able to maximize the buying power of its foreign investor clients with their ability to know how to find the exact property that fits each individual investor's needs.

Building on over 40 years of combined experience in the industry, Nibal Elsaadi and the staff of SI Real Estate Investments, LLC simplifies and expedites Global Real Estate in Every Way: any real estate service any buyer, seller, investor, or developer could need, all with an unsurpassed level of quality and personalization.

With the abundance of interesting press regarding the housing slump, there has been a significant increase in optimism and market conditions in the Tampa Bay real estate arena. SI Real Estate calls it our "Shimmer of Hope" for the Tampa Real Estate Market.

The experts have been chiming in and we are listening. From the nationally respected Jim Cramer and Dave Ramsey, to all of our local real estate market experts here in Tampa Bay, the news is refreshing and could not have come at a better time. Jim Cramer states that the "The Florida market is the template for all of the recovering real estate markets, being a year ahead of the rest." He further says that Florida is in this position because Florida builders stopped construction 2 years ago, which allowed for an earlier bottom. The inventory has NOW begun to go pending and sold. Let's face it folks, we are headed for brighter days.

In particular... Tampa's real estate market is stabilizing. Throughout Tampa Bay, the gap between the listing price and selling price is narrowing. In particular, South Tampa's prestigious homes are selling at 96% of the listing price. The math is quite simple. Prices are adjusting, homes are going pending and sold, which will consume inventory. Summary: Real Estate Correction in Tampa Bay: Correcting...
