A few years ago, purchasing a 2000 sq. ft home was a challenge for most first time buyers. Because in the boom years, housing prices jumped 15 to 25 percent per year. In the peak year, 2006, the median price range for Florida was $ 248,000 for single family homes, $ 211,000 for condo’s. Since 2006, the states median price has fallen more than forty percent. That makes a lot more homes more affordable to middle class working families. With the housing market slowing stabilizing, many buyers are taking advantage of the reasonable prices to buy there first home or even add to their portfolio. With the prices at the lowest levels in years, and the tax incentives that are available, it becomes incredibly attractive opportunity for anyone who wants to own a home. In Hernando, Pasco and Hillsborough Counties, I have seen many homes available for very reasonable prices. Now is the time to own a piece of Florida.
