Sure, they can and will go lower. Look for a graph of house prices over time and you will find that the recent bubble was way out of line. It will take even lower prices to get back to the historical trend.

If a home owner really wants/needs to sell, then that owner has to get ahead of the falling home prices. What I see in the Tampa area MLS (we are looking in the Riverview and Sun City Central areas) is that sellers are unwilling to set a price that will sell. They slowly lower their asking price but they never catch up with the declining home prices.

good news for future home owners (like myself) - just can't seem to find quality like elsewhere in the USA - personally, the home styles in FLA aren't very desireable - guess I'm looking at the wrong subdivisions.

We found some good homes in St. Petersburg area but we are a little worry about it. It seems like the builder went out of business and that neighborhood just have 4 homes. We don't know how "great" is that deal.

Maybe you can check out also Wesley Chapel area, it has some "Florida homes" style, with palm trees , slide doors and open floor plans.

Wich neighborhoods are you looking at BUCFAN?

Down in Riverview there are several subdivisions near 301/Summerfield. Also Parish/Palmetto near the Skyway Bridge area between Ruskin/Bradenton. Or Trinity/Odessa. I also have been watching a few condos on Harbour Island.
