20 steps to get the best deal on a home in 2007 -Tampa, Fl
2007-04-15 17:11:00 By Dana Dratch ? Bankrate.comWhen it comes to real estate, timing is everything. And if you're buying this year, your timing is perfect. For most homes in most areas, it's a buyer's market. That means you'll see plenty of houses on the market with prices that have slowed, stabilized or, in some places, even declined. And motivated sellers will likely be more amenable to making concessions."For someone who's been sitting on the sidelines, it's a great time to buy," says Eric Tyson, co-author of "Home Buying for Dummies."The biggest problem many buyers may encounter: too many choices. But that's not a bad problem to have, says Colby Sambrotto, chief operating officer of ForSaleByOwner.com. "See everything in your price range so you can make an informed decision," he says. Spring and summer tend to be the prime home-buying season. And in many markets, buyers will have a lot of options. Want to make sure you get the best home for you?

Feather Sound, Most Desirable Neighborhood for Commuters
2007-04-11 20:10:00 Feather Sound has long been considered one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the Clearwater area. The prestigious Feather Sound Golf and Country Club, the beautiful vistas with meandering lakes and the immediate proximity to I-275 are part of the appeal that has made Feather Sound such a coveted address. Audubon Condos is an attended, gated community with two and three-bedroom and loft residences featured in a tropical setting surrounded by panoramic views of the golf course, walking trails and nature preserve. ?The truth is that Feather Sound itself is just about built-out,? explains Phil Massey. ?There will be no more new developments, which leaves only existing homes on the market. Those who want to live in a luxury community, with resort-style amenities and beautiful well-appointed floor plans would do well to check out Audubon. Massey says the area surrounding Feather Sound has become more and more of an attraction over the past few years as it has grown. Fine restaurants,... More About: Feather , Neighborhood , Feat , Mute
