Holidays At The Beach

In early to mid-December, living here in Tampa Bay is simply spectacular! Not only are we enjoying 78-80 degree days, the holidays are magical as well. All the colorful lights abound on every corner and all along the Gulf Boulevard corridor.

Holiday boat parades are celebrated in each community and hundreds of boats compete with their decorations for each coveted prize. Last Friday, we enjoyed the St Pete Beach boat parade with over 80 boats participating. The lighting of the tree, a visit from Santa and jolly elves playing live music brought a festive atmosphere to all of us lucky enough to have a great view.

Add to that the Geminid Meteor Shower that has been in full force the last two nights... out on the beach away from the lights is the perfect viewing position to see shooting stars every minute!

As we get ready for the new year and huge influx of tourists to our area, this is literally the quiet before the storm. What a perfect time to reflect on the beauty and amazing lifestyle living here brings...

Why Buy Real Estate In Florida Over The Holidays?

While daily life is filled with shopping, holiday parties and trimming the tree... how can one be expected to focus their attention on a real estate purchase in Florida? Well, the savvy buyers are making it a point to jump start their search here in December.

By the beginning of January, the snowbirds will be descending upon the beaches of Tampa Bay as their warm weather oasis to remove themselves from the blistering cold and icy conditions back home. Our moderate temperatures and sunny weather are very addicting. As often happens, while they are here thoughts turn to owning their own piece of paradise. For that reason, sales traditionally increase with dramatic intensity during January, February and March. Once that starts, the competition for the best real estate opportunities that abound in this depressed (but recovering) market strengthens.

During this month of December, those in the know realize that burst of sales activity is on the horizon. Thinking of buying here along the beaches of Tampa Bay? Fill out your Dream Home Questionnaire today to begin your search right from your home or office computer. The PURTEE Team will take that information, along with their knowledge of the area to help find you the best possible deal!
