How Hot is the Tampa Bay Area Real Estate Market?

Tampa Bay real estate team

It's been a red-hot market in a lot of places around the US and Tampa Bay is no different. We seem to be a perfect middle of the road city where there's fantastic activity, super weather, and very affordable homes. But, that for sale sign doesn't last long in the front yard before the home is sold. Blink and you might actually miss it.

Sellers are getting above asking prices with multiple offers and escalation clauses. Many buyers are losing deal after deal if they don't have an experienced agent by their side.

What is an escalation clause?

You may have heard of this term and it's becoming a popular clause in today's real estate market. An escalation clause or escalator allows for a buyer to pay a certain amount for the home but if the seller receives another offer that's higher, the first buyer is willing to increase the offer by a certain amount. For instance, if a buyer agrees to pay $500,000 for a home, the asking price, but then submits an escalation clause that states the buyer is willing to pay up to $520,000 in $5000 increments over a higher offer should the seller receive one. The seller has to be fair and honest and inform the buyer and the buyer's agent of additional offers.
