We are all feeling the pinch of rising costs – at the grocery store, at the gas pump and restaurants. The real estate market is no different. During the pandemic home prices rose rapidly with many buyers facing a bidding war and having to pay way over asking price.Things have changed since then. Prices have stabilized and many buyers say they are hesitant to wade into the housing market with the rising interest rates.  But you should think twice before waiting for lower home prices. Here's why: Our broker, Ray Mihara, who has been selling real estate in Tampa Bay for more than 25 years, is a go-to source for current market conditions in Tampa Bay.

At presentations that I give to Real Estate Agents, I often get a question of the benefits of setting up an LLC/S-Corp for the business.  There are potential tax benefits to having the S-Corp structure for your business versus filing on a Schedule C, but there based on the state you are in and how your Real Estate Agent business is set up, there are potential risks.  On this You Tube video, I cover this topic and explain the benefits along with the potential pitfalls.  I hope you find it useful.  https://youtu.be/4sPke5h8dfMIf you are a Real Estate agent that needs help with bookkeeping or taxes planning, problems or getting your return filed properly, give us a call at (972) 821-1991 or schedule some time on my calendar at https://jablonskyandassociates.com/contact

I represent taxpayers in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota as well as throughout the state of Florida who have federal and state tax issues. Suncoast Tax Solutions is a full-service tax resolution company helping clients to solve their tax problems quickly and efficiently. Every year the IRS mails letters or notices to taxpayers for many different reasons. Typically, it’s about a specific issue with a taxpayer’s federal tax return or tax account. A notice may tell them about changes to their account or ask for more information. It could also tell them they need to make a payment. This year, people might have also received correspondence about Economic Impact Payments (stimulus checks) or an advance child tax credit outreach letter. Here are some dos and don’ts for anyone who receives ...

According to The Tampa Bay Times: "The Westshore Marina District is a 52-acre waterfront development right on Tampa Bay, long considered some of the area’s most desirable undeveloped land. It now has roughly 800 completed apartments and condos, the vast majority occupied. That doesn’t include three sharp-lined glass condo towers still to be completed, whose units will run from the $800,000s to more than $3 million, as well as some other unfinished townhomes. When all the construction is done, the district is expected to have about 1,350 residences total.With several shops and restaurants open or on the way in a new town center, as well as a future public-use marina for people to dock boats for visits, the developers also hope it’ll be a lure for people to come grab a bite or walk their ...

The Tampa Bay Real Estate Market remains a hot seller's market! Tampa's real estate market has had a flood of out-of-state buyers looking for more space, better weather, and a lower cost of living. Specifically, residents from California, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Washington DC are fleeing from high taxes and cold weather. This influx was sparked by the pandemic and workers' ability to work from home. Below are the most recent statistics: -There is still currently ONLY 1 month of resale inventory. This is the lowest we've had thus far making it a competitive seller’s market. -The average sales price has increased from $305,731 last year in June 2020 to $382,401 this year in June 2021.-The average number of days on market has decreased again from 27 days in May to only 22 da...
