Many times
Land O Lakes Real Estate buyers avoid using the services of
a REALTOR under the mistaken belief that it costs them money
- or that they will be able to negotiate a better deal directly
with the seller or seller's real estate agent. This can be
an expensive mistake when buying a home. If you are negotiating
directly with the seller or seller's real estate agent, you
may not be taking advantage of the best value available in
the market today! You can have your own REALTOR, a Buyer Broker
or Buyers Agent, who is committed to using the experience
gained through hundreds of successful Pasco County and Land
O Lakes real estate negotiations for your benefit at no charge
to you!
Real estate is a unique business, where an agent with one
day's experience and no home sales gets paid the same as real
estate agents with several years experience and hundreds of
successful sales. An experienced Realtor can help you avoid
costly mistakes, find the best home value, and make your home
buying or relocation experience an enjoyable, stress-free
one!
Communuties

Oakstead, Wilderness Lake Preserve, Connerton, Suncaost Meadows,
and Lake Talia among others.
When viewing
homes for sale, it is important for homebuyers to know and
understand for whom the agent helping with the house hunting
is actually working. The agent may be working as a sub agent
- representing the seller's best interests during negotiations
- or as your agent representing your best interests during
negotiations. If you are not sure who your agent is working
for - ask for clarification. Realtors must fully explain agency.
When negotiations commence, wouldn't you want to know whether
information you divulge will be used for the seller's benefit
- or your's?
Forecast
for Land O' Lakes, FL- Tampa Bay Homes and Tampa Real
Estate
1.
Up and Coming Families
Up and Coming Families represent the second highest growth
market-and the youngest of the affluent family markets. These
days, residents are more Gen X than Baby Boom. Despite the
cohort turnover, the profile remains young affluent families
with young children. Homes are new, with a median value of
$169,000.
2. Green Acres
A little bit country, the residents of Green Acres enjoy select
homes in a pastoral setting. This upscale market represents
developing fringe areas, with more in the Midwest. Most of
the families are blue collar Baby Boomers, many with children
aged 6-17 years. Median household income, $61,200, and median
home value, $168,000, are high compared to the U.S.
3. Midland Crowd
The largest Community market, Midland Crowd represents 11
million people, almost 4 percent of the U.S. population, in
one market. As expected, the largest market reflects some
characteristics of the U.S. population, median age (36 years)
and average family size, 3.1. Median household income, $47,000,
is just under the U.S. median, $48,100. The differences distinguish
the Midland Crowd. These neighborhoods are located in mainly
rural areas, growing rural areas at a rate of over 2.5 percent
annually since 2000. Almost 40 percent of the homes were built
after 1990. Over 95 percent are single family, or mobile homes.
