The “under the hood” real estate insight report for the Clearwater Beach area is brought to you by the Tom Smith Team Coastal Properties International.  The Tom Smith Team has sold and closed over $175,000,000 in real estate and consistently ranks in the top 1% of all agents in Pinellas County Florida. 

Real estate continues to show strength in both Indian Rocks and St. Pete Beach.  Supply is still an issue although we expect more homes to come onto the market for season.  Single family home prices are up double digits year over year.   The condo market in Indian Rocks Beach remains at 5-year highs and just slightly behind Clearwater beach.  Condo prices in St. Pete beach are up 20.2% year over year, however, remain just behind both Clearwater and Indian Rocks Beaches.  Indian Rocks beach has less restrictive rental requirements for condos than the Clearwater Beach condo market making it an attractive area for investors.  Many of the condo projects in Indian Rocks can be rented daily and weekly.  For more information on rental requirements and restrictions on the beaches here in Pinellas County contact the condo expert Kristin Vincelli 727-686-1596.
