Have you read the paper lately about how bad our real estate market is? Well, if you live (or want to live) in South Tampa, specifically the Plant High School district, the message is good news! Contrary to regional and national reports about pricing, this district has not retracted back to 2002 prices, but is actually between 2005 - 2006 prices with a good forecast.

The Average Sales Price for 2008: $609,294

The Average Days on the Market: 128

Number of Transactions: 463

As always, the late spring and summer time had the most number of transactions in 2008, with July having the most at 55. We ended the year strong with 29 transactions in December as well as an average sales price of $740,000.

2009 is off to a good start:

• 36 homes contracted so far in January
• 33 homes are projected to close by the end of January
