I pass most Bayshore units as I enter/exit the property. I pay attention to For Sale signs and/or Realtor lock boxes on door handles.

There are currently no active MLS listings on the property. The only two MLS signs have “contract pending” on the bottom.

There is one For Sale By Owner sign that just popped up on Oyster Bayou Way.

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!

In the 12 months ending May 31, 2020 (a full calendar year), there have been 6 homes sold, with an average price of $301K. The average price per square foot was up a couple dollars to $185. The lowest price-per-sq-ft was $173.

Three sales closed in 2020 and the rolling 12-month turnover rate is 9% (6 of 68 townhomes).

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

• Address
  • 5 on Oyster Bayou Way
  • 1 on Estuary Trail
• Three sales occurred in 2019 from June to December.
• Year built (1999 or 2000)
• Square feet of living area (varied from 1,480 to 1,885)
• 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)

PS: We have two other Realtors who live here: Denice Jordan, Marcus Lund and Arlie Spicer.

By all means, work with a Realtor to see Bayshore properties. If you don’t yet have a Realtor, then you can contact Matt Douglas,  Denice Jordan, Arlie Spicer, Marcus Lund, or Tom Scaglione, . 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!
