Author Tampa Bay's Morning Krewe

If you are looking for a home, there are a bunch of Florida cities where homes are selling under the asking price right now. Buying a home in the past couple years has been tough as the interest rates at one point were above 7% but now the rates have come down a little bit , but they definitely are higher than they were. This report comes from Stacker and the analyzed data from Redfin, which is a website where you can buy and sell a home.

They listed the top 50 cities where those homes are selling under the asking price. There are 17 cities in Florida where homes are selling lower than what is being listed Tampa actually comes in #30 on the list where homes are selling for around 2 1/2% under asking Now, the median list price of homes is $395,000 but the sale price is $377,990. That is the only city in the Tampa Bay area in the top 50. There are five Florida cities in the top 10. West Palm Beach, Naples, Panama City, Punta Gorda, and Miami. West Palm Beach comes in number four overall with homes selling for 4.11% under asking price.

The #1 overall city in the United States is Jackson, Mississippi. Homes are selling there for 4.55% under asking price. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions that you will ever make. So, if you were looking for a home in 2024, it may be a good time to actually buy one. With the interest rates going up and the price of the homes going up, it is not been a good time to buy in the last few years. Now, the interest rates are going down the home prices are going down and maybe, just maybe they will continue to go down and it will be a good time to purchase a new home.

It’s time to close the chapter to 2023 and look forward to the next year. Luckily for us in Tampa, there’s a lot to be excited about in 2024. Be on the lookout for these new businesses and experiences in Tampa Bay next year.

Champa Bay seems to be growing and expanding more and more each year. So many new places and experiences popped up in 2023, and it was hard to keep track. We discovered a bunch of new restaurants, hotels, and adventures that opened up this past year. 2024 might be even better! We get to look forward to new restaurants and bars, roller coasters, and so many big acts playing Tampa venues (just to name a few). With the help of Creative Loafing and That’s So Tampa, we made a list of 5 things to look forward to in Tampa in 2024

To help make this list, we got some of our inspiration from Creative Loafing. They told us 20 new restaurants to look out for in 2024. A couple of them made our list, but you can check out the full list here. But we wanted to expand more on things to get excited about in Tampa for next year.

2023 in review:

Tampa had a lot of growth in 2023, leaving us excited for what’s to come. This year we said “hello” to many new businesses and attractions including the tallest rooftop bar in Tampa, new restaurants with Michelin-star chefs, changes to our favorite theme park, and more. We also said “goodbye” to some of our favorite businesses and athletes who got traded to other teams (like Pat Maroon on the Tampa Bay Lightning and Ji-man Choi on the Rays).

Thinking of moving to Tampa in 2024?

One of the great things about Tampa is it’s constantly changing for the better. But that also means it’s becoming a really competitive market for those looking to move here. One thing we can count on with all of these new additions of 5-star restaurants and new affordable and luxury housing is that more people will surely be packing their things and heading to the Tampa Bay area. If you plan on making the move next year, check out some of our realistic advise before making the move.

Here are 5 new things to look forward to in Tampa for 2024

  • New Restaurants

    We’ve already told you about some of the new places we’re excited to see open in 2024. Coffee enthusiasts can get excited for a famous west coast coffee chain to open in Tampa next year. Dutch Bros coffee will be coming to the Ballast Point sometime in 2024. Learn more about that here.

    Water street will continue to grow with the highly anticipated Italian-inspired restaurant Ash opening in the early spring. The Edition will also be gaining a new cocktail lounge called Alter Ego. This spot will offer an energetic vibe with a curated musical experience.

    A few of Tampa’s staple restaurants will be opening second locations across the bridge in St. Pete. Now there will be an Olivia and Forbici in the burg!
