As 2010 rolls in, many of us are looking for opportunities for in real estate for investments, homes, offices and vacation homes.

On a positive note for buyers, prices have dropped in the Tampa Bay area further than other major metropolitan area according to the Case Shiller Index.

Sellers will continue to struggle with the challenge of foreclosures and short sales consuming the market.

When buying property, always be aware that there are challenges when working with a Short Sale or REO (Real Estate Owned) property. It is in your best interest to work with experience representation, mortgage bankers, and title companies in the Short Sale or REO arenas. Short Sales and Foreclosures can be frustrating but also can be profitable!

Happy 2010!
