Q: What Are the Latest Stats From Our Tampa MLS? header image.

Real estate is still moving, but the way we do business has changed.

Here’s a quick rundown of the latest MLS stats from our Tampa Bay market (Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas counties) spanning the week leading up to May 5:

  • New listings: 1,077

  • Sold properties: 1,289

  • Pending listings: 1,591


Keep in mind that these numbers were recorded before Governor DeSantis initiated his reopening plan for the state, and real estate is considered an essential business. We’re still doing business, but the way we’re doing it has changed. 


For buyers, we offer virtual walk-throughs of potential homes, and after a process of elimination, we only visit the ones they have an especially high interest in. This reduces unnecessary in-person activity, and becomes particularly important if the properties we visit are owner-occupied. When we look at these properties in person, we fit ourselves and the buyer with disposable gloves and masks, and we use disinfectant on any surface that gets touched. We also leave that disinfectant behind in case the seller wants to wipe anything down when they return. 



Honestly, the way we’re conducting business now is a lot more efficient and effective.
At 3:22, you can see an example of what our virtual listing tours look like. You can see every detail of a home in these tours, and buyers are utilizing them at a high rate. They’re practically a necessity right now. 

Honestly, the way we’re conducting business now is a lot more efficient and effective. If you’re a seller, you’ll have fewer people going through your home, but the ones who do are well-qualified and have already eliminated many other homes from consideration. 


If you have questions about what’s happening in your local area or would like to put your home on the market, don’t hesitate to call or email me. If you’re not selling but have a mortgage rate 4%, I’d be happy to put you in touch with a mortgage professional so you can refinance and save some money. I look forward to hearing from you!
