There are currently no MLS listings for a Bayshore townhome. A walk through the property didn’t reveal any MLS For Sale signs or realtor lock-boxes. None. Nada.

There is one For Sale By Owner sign on Seagrape Circle. The unit is in the building facing away from the pool.

Kudos, again, to Matt Douglas, of  Keller Williams Elite Partners Realty.

As part of Matt’s targeted direct mail advertising program, he sends current Bayshore occupants a 2-year summary and analysis of actual sales that have occurred!

This report is really really short.

In the 12 months ending July 31, 2019 (a full calendar year), there have been 6 homes sold, with an average price of $305K. The average price per square foot was up $30 to about $184, and the last unit sold for $284K ($191/sqft).

Five sales closed in the first half of 2019 (all in May or June) and the rolling 12-month turnover rate is over 9% (6 of 68 townhomes).

Matt’s Market Update provided a detailed chart that includes these columns:

• Address
  • 2 on Oyster Bayou Way
  • 1 on Estuary Trail
  • 3 on Seagrape Circle
• Five sales occurred in 2019, and the last was only 2 months ago.
• Year built (1999 or 2000)
• Square feet of living area (varied from 1,480 to 1,995)
• Price Sold as recorded by the Pinellas Property Appraiser
• Price per Square Foot calculated on the actual sales price
• Date Sold (It was sorted with the latest sale at the top of the list)

Kudos, too, to Marcus Lund, for information mails to Bayshore residents. Marcus is a Bayshore resident. He works from a Keller Williams Realty office in Palm Harbor.

His mailer provided a slightly different perspective. He shows

• the list price, sold price
• the difference as a percentage, and
• the days on the market.

By all means, work with a Realtor to see Bayshore properties. If you don’t yet have a Realtor, then you can contact Tom Scaglione, Matt Douglas or Marcus Lund. Their contact information is on the previous page (Townhomes For Sale)

If you are selling your Bayshore Townhome, you might consider ordering one or more copies of my book “The Appendix: Association Documents” for the benefit of your prospective buyers. This book contains only the Association Documents (Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws, and DCCRs) that you are required to pass on to the new owner.

If you are considering buying a Bayshore unit, you might want to order my book “Living with the HOA” which includes the Association Documents (look for the Books web page from the menu at the top). The money’s not wasted; the book will show you questions to ask for any other townhouse or condominium association you might buy!
