Luxurious Homes Available at Bargains in Tampa Bay

The most expensive home for sale in the Sarasota area, according to Brian Ward, a Sarasota homes for sale Accredited Buyer Representative, is this 10,087 sq ft, 7 bed, 6 1/2 bath home on Longboat Key. Rich Stover, another Sarasota real estate agent with RE/MAX Alliance Group assures us that another place where one can find luxurious homes is on Casey Key where just about every home has a gorgeous gulf-view.

Further north a bit in Tampa Bay, the most luxurious and palatial home just became a bargain if a home that is priced at $14.9 million can be described as a "bargain."
Mark Yaffe, the owner, dropped the price of his 29,000-square-foot estate from $17.5 a second price drop from the original asking price of $25 million in 2008.

This ornate manor home, modeled after a 17th century British royal palace, has 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms sitting on six acres. It took just over seven years to build this ornate estate in the upscale Avila community in the northwestern part of Tampa.

"There are plenty of expensive homes throughout Tampa Bay including the Sarasota, Longboat Key and St Petersburg areas," says Bob Henley, a well-known RE/MAX realtor who specializes in Siesta Key, Osprey and Sarasota golf course homes.

Particularly for cash buyers, there is a luxury golf course or gulf-front home waiting for you to snap it up at a bargain price somewhere in the Tampa Bay area stretching from Tampa and St Petersburg to Sarasota, Osprey and Venice Florida including the Barrier Island, Siesta, Longboat, Lido and Casey Key.
