There are a few things the community of realtors Tampa Florida could do to help their local economy in addition to the national economy.

First, all the taxing authorities should use every effort at their disposal to freeze real estate taxes. This will keep money in consumer’s pockets, stabilize monthly mortgage payments and give developers an incentive to plan and build more projects.  With careful analysis of their budgets, every taxing authority could achieve this goal.

Municipalities should streamline their zoning review and building permit process in order to help make sure permits are processed and approved in a timely fashion. Almost nothing is more crucial to getting our economy up and moving than getting the building permits into the hands of the property owners, developers and homeowners.

As an incentive to homeowners to submit permits – many believe they can build without these and this leaves the city without an income – for building projects, new legislation could be adopted to provide tax rebates for owners who have a valid construction and project permit during the 2009 calendar year.

Each community should have a panel of experts to report and prioritize public works projects, to help get them off the ground and sometimes help with funding. Infrastructure helps everyone.

A Tampa, Florida homes for sale needs to let the banks and lending institutions know that they should step up and help those people on the verge of foreclosure. The banking institutions should make bridge loans to people who have good credit but are suffering under the weight of their current loans.  What is wrong with putting good money in the hands of good people? Another good idea would be to take the titles of those properties of homeowners who are far too gone and could not possibly catch up, and lease the property back to the homeowner. This is a win-win situation for both financial institution and homeowner.

These are only a few ‘talking’ points to begin a discussion on how to help the faltering economy and help the state of the housing market. Everything begins with a discussion and open ideas.
