A Clearwater home seller wants to know if "I don't have a pool - How does that effect my home's value?" Let's looks at what's happening with Clearwater Homes with and without a pool in today's Home Buyer's Market. Whether you're a buyer or a seller it's important to have the facts on what's really happening.

This is a great example of how numbers can be deceiving and you need to understand their context to fully understand their meaning- So what does it all mean?   

How can pool homes and non pool homes median prices be down and the median price for all homes be up?

• Because one is a snapshot of 1 month and the other is for 12 months. I've enclosed the graph below to show the dramatic reality that in April of 2007 the median price was as low as $188,500 - it has been steadily rising through the summer months.

This helps explain the often asked question: 
Is now a good time to buy a home in Clearwater?

I believe the answer yes because we are in a strong buyers market and no one can predict how long it will last. Remember one year ago we were in the strongest sellers market so things can change quickly and like the stock market - no reputable real estate agent or stock broker will tell you they can determine the high or the low and it's obvious that there are definitely real estate bargains to be had in todays real estate market. Buyer's benefit from working with Buyer's Agents like Jack and I that represent you and work to ensure that in this market you are "buying right". 

We believe you make your money when you buy your home for the right price - when you can be in control. The real estate market not real estate agents or home sellers determines what homes will sell for in the future. Our goal is for you to be educated and empowered to make informed decisions. The best part is our services are FREE for the home buyers. (see our Home Buyer testimonials below)
