Hi
I am looking to make a move to the Clearwater area.
Could someone help to answer a few questions?
The area I am looking is Clearwater/St.Pete's/Sarasota.
What is the average price for a single home 2 or more bedrooms,1 or more baths?
What is the average yearly tax bill for this house in these towns?
What would the average insurance bill be?
How is flood insurance determined?
Thank you in advance.

Ok, I'll try to help, but you may also want to post in the Tampa forum, those people are pretty helpfull about Tampa and the surrounding areas (which include St. Pete, Clwtr, etc.).
A house that is 2/1 can cost between 120,000 and 180,000 or more depending on the area you choose. If you want more bedrooms/bathrooms it could cost 200,000 and 250, 000. This is obviously not set in stone, but my impression of the area right now. As far as taxes go, it totally depends on the property. And insurance depends on the company you get. It can be 3-6,000 a year depending on the size of your house and the company you get. For flood insurance, it depends on where you live. If you live in a flood zone you are required to buy flood insurance. Any realtor will know if a property you are looking at requires flood insurance. You may want to look at the Pinellas County Property Appraiser's website [www.pcpao.org] (broken link). You can search different areas and see what homes are priced at in different areas of the county, what the home was last sold for, and what the owners are currently paying in taxes. It is not perfectly representative, because once the home is sold, the taxes may change, but it will give you a general idea. Hope this helped a little.

A wee bit of advice... try to buy a concrete block home if at all possible. The older woodframe type (very common here) is much more difficult to insure and the risk of damage from a hurricane or trop. storm is much greater. good luck!
