Real Estate Values
The Tampa housing market continues to show signs of life, with affordability serving as the main facilitator. Accordingly, Tampa continues to remain one of the nation’s most affordable markets. Even though Tampa is currently above historical affordability levels, homeowners allocate less than 8 percent of their income to monthly mortgage payments. That is less than half of the national average. As such, Tampa could attract many first-time buyers. Millennials, in particular, should find Tampa to be an attractive destination because of affordability alone.
Affordability is likely the reason behind international interest in the Tampa housing market. Having said that; Tampa has become a primary target for foreign investors. Nearly 11 percent of Tampa’s home sales were foreign in nature. In fact, Tampa has surpassed Miami in terms of sales to non-U.S. residents. Looking to escape the cold, Canadians make of the largest pool of foreign investors taking stakes in Tampa.

Affordable living
With lower-than-average rents and utilities, Tampa Bay is one of the most affordable areas of its size in the nation. At least, according to new data released this week.
A recent report from the Council for Community and Economic Research found that Tampa Bay now has the lowest cost of living out of all of Florida’s urban areas. It’s also the cheapest region out of more than a dozen similarly sized metro areas around the nation analyzed by the nonprofit Tampa-Hillsborough Economic Development Corp.
The report calculated Tampa Bay’s Cost of Living Index score based on six categories: housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, health care and miscellaneous goods and services. Prices for goods and services from each of these services are added up to create the index. The baseline, 100, is the average of all of the prices from the participating areas.
