St. Pete advances housing plan for nine vacant city lots
The St. Petersburg City Council unanimously approved a first reading of an ordinance to place a measure on the November 3 ballot that would remove nine vacant city lots in Methodist Town from the city's Charter Park and Waterfront Map. The change would allow up to 41 units of affordable or workforce housing, with four lots planned for single family homes and five larger parcels for multifamily housing. The lots have held park designations since 1984 but have remained vacant.
What it may mean for the marketAdvances a plan to convert nine vacant city lots into new single family and multifamily housing, adding to local housing inventory. Placing the parcels on the ballot could open long dormant land for residential construction. The project is about 3 miles east of Central Avenue Heights, elsewhere in Pinellas County.

The Central Avenue Heights buying strategy.
If we were buying in Central Avenue Heights today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Central Avenue Heights.

At a median of $228 per square foot, Central Avenue Heights prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.
