MSN Real Estate has a new list of top cities for future real estate appreciation and the Tampa Bay area has made the upper spot on this list of markets expected to show the most appreciation in home equity over the next four years. Yes, you read that right, appreciation! 66 of the top 100 markets in the country showed significant equity build up in four years on low-priced homes purchased today. The numbers for our area indicate with a 6% home loan a new homeowner will build up $41,847 in equity by 2012 and $40,237 with a 7% interest rate! This does not mean the market is going back to the hay days of the boom but it does mean that a home purchase will make more sense to more folks in our area. This is the kind of information that will continue to boost consumer confidence and we’ll continue to bring it to your attention so you can work on perceptions with a contagious attitude.
