I am a REALTOR® with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services in South Tampa, former broadcast meteorologist.

After spending 11 years as a television meteorologist, it was time to move on. My knowledge and love for the Tampa Bay area, led me to Real Estate! I still continue with my love of meteorology consulting with Cloud Nine Weather Services!

1,694 new Tampa Bay listings hit the market in the last 7 days. 🔑

Still think there's nothing out there? Turns out, more homes hit the market than your feed showed you. The Tampa Bay real estate market moves faster than most buyers realize, and most of those buyers aren't working with someone who's watching it closely. Despite rising inventory, great homes go FAST.

If you've been waiting for options, they're here. Ready to see what's new? Let's find the right one for you!

Tampa's Home of the Week in Old Memorial Estates🏡

🔹EXCLUSIVE GATED COMMUNITY- Less than 100 homes in this neighborhood, make it feel private and secluded, with a close-knit community.

🔹ESTATE SIZED HOMES & LOTS- The community was designed without homes on top of each other, which is a luxury in the Tampa Bay area. This lot is nearly 1/2 an acre. With this home topping out at over 5,000 sqft there is no shortage of room inside either.

🔹ADJACENT TO OLD MEMORIAL GOLF CLUB- Being next to one of Florida's most acclaimed private golf courses is a MAJOR perk. Along with easy access to downtown Tampa off the Veterans Expressway.

Condo Market Update: it’s no secret, the condo market has had it struggles in the Tampa Bay area over the last few years. Due to rising HOA cost assessment we’ve seen a jump in inventory, and the amount of Buyers has not matched this which has allowed for a real slow down in sales and dip in prices.

Our May 2026 numbers and condo sales though were actually up 2% so does that indicate that conditions are improving in the condo market here in the Tampa Bay area?

The short answer is no this increase in sales was driven by a larger volume of high-end luxury sales in May 2026. The average sales price was actually up 14% but this is not indicative of what most condo owners are dealing with right now… when you look at the median sales price that is actually down one percent and that gives a better idea of the true picture of what is going on.

In May 2026, we had three huge sales at the New 400 Central Luxury condo building in St. Pete. 3 units closed at over $6 million each something that we certainly did not have happen last year!

Something else worth noting is that about 50% of all condo sales in May 2026 were cash. Part of that is because some buildings are a challenge to get financing in and the other side of that is we have investors that are finding some opportunity in the market with condos, and they are putting their money there.

If you are looking for some great opportunities to purchase a condo right now reach out to me and we can discuss some options out there or also if you’re wondering what prices look like in your condo building let me know and I can give you a true evaluation.

This one wasn't just about finding the right house. The house hunt is exciting. But the negotiation and problem-solving behind the scenes is where your representation really matters.

We negotiated $160,000 off the list price plus an additional $41,000 credit before we even got to the closing table.

Then came the real work...

• A deficient appraisal.
• An inaccurate elevation certificate.
• Inspection concerns.
• Legal documentation that needed to be tracked down.
• More than a few unexpected curveballs.

Real estate isn't about getting a contract signed. It's about helping your clients get to the closing table when things get complicated.

I'm incredibly happy for my buyers and grateful for everyone who worked together to make this happen. Congratulations on your beautiful waterfront home! 🥂🏡

3,185 price reductions hit the Tampa Bay market in the last 7 days.

That's 3,185 sellers who adjusted, which means 3,185 opportunities for buyers with sellers willing to negotiate that didn't exist a week ago.

If you've been telling yourself you're waiting for the right time...you may want to strike while opportunity is still out there.

What's actually holding you back? I'd love to help you figure it out. 👇
