The National Association of realtors predicts home sales will remain flat in 2014, compared with the big gains from the last two years. But that isnt stopping developers who are in a condo building blitz in florida. The same place hit hardest bythe housing crisis. Jackie keenan takes us there. Its dejavu in tampa, florida. Condos are a hot segment in real estate again. Just five years ago a glut of condos littered the skyline here and in other florida markets like miami and orlando. Now, 30 percent of new home sales here are condos and new towers are under construction. Vice president of real estate for smith and associates dave traynor says the market is on a roll. What were seeing is prices going up so developers are coming in and starting new projects. Or in this buildings case, a reversion. In 2007 this condo building, grand central, was one of many across florida to open as the Housing Market was crashing. So this developer turned half its urbanchic units into apartments. Now, many buildings like this one are reverting back into condos. Traynor says the timing was right to give it another go at selling and less than 10 percent remains unsold. He says most new owners are moving in, but a portion of buyers are renting their units. In some cases they bought it for investment and allowed the renter to stay in because the rents were at such great rates that it made sense for the owner to purchase and hold onto the property. Rental demand is still strong, especially among the young, whose unemployment and income levels remain stagnant. Outside of downtown, investors are pouring into markets like tampas and purchasing foreclosures and short sales to cash in on this hot rental market. These investors have targeted suburban apartment complexes that were turned into condos nearly 10 years ago. Thats where we are today institutions owning units, that were formally owned by owner occupants who were all foreclosed on, so its very cyclical. But home encounter ceo peter murphy says trouble can come if developers again turn surburban apartments into condos, as this is what fueled the Housing Market meltdown. But Downtown Living is the trend now, so its too early to know if a new glut is forming. Developers have a unique challenge on their hands they gotta predict what the demand is theyll learn very quickly weather theres an appetite for half a million condos on their hands. If someone was looking to build a suburban condominium tower i think we would be near saturation point, but for the urban condo tower theres probably more demand here locally that can still be absorbed. Of course if sales on new downtown projects fall flat, developers can do what they did last time scrap selling and rent them out. Youre always going to see owners occupied living alongside renters you see it locally here in tampa, and you see it in ny chicago and boston, anywhere you have that condo lifestyle its a product thats really suitable to to have both is really ideal for the developers. For First Business news, im jackie keenan. And its not just condos and apartments being purchased by investors its houses. The Tampa Bay Times reports that blackstone equity has spent 326 Million Dollars to purchase more than 2,000 homes in the tampa market to repair and rent. Coming up, the business that is busier than the mall on black friday. Plus why renting town furniture and items may by a losing venture. Its all after the break rent to own you cant afford to buy the tv or jewelry so you pay monthly rental fees until you can own it. This has become big business. Look at the numbers. In 2007 there were 2. 8 million customers. That jumped to 4. 2 million last year. Annual revenue for the industry nearly 8 billion dollars. Thats a 50 increase in 5 years. But the Better Business bureau is waving a big warning flag. Steve bernas is president and ceo of the bbb of nothern illinois. I was astounded at what customers can pay through the renttoown process. Most customers are astounded by that. They dont realize that sometimes you can pay double of what it would cost you if you bought it outright first with cash. People have to be very careful and read the fine print on those contracts because they soemtimes lock you in sometimes through long term contracts. And some consumer groups say that the people least able to pay these high fees are the ones who are typically doing that. Exactly. The advertisements are geared to those people that cant afford it unfortunatelythe people that cant pay cash or dont save up for it. So you have to be very careful. It sounds good but you can end up paying double. For short term renting, its probably okay as long as you return the tv set . Short term is okay but its gotta be very short term. And most consumers dont go full term with those contracts so be very careful how long you go. Make certain that you can afford it as well. The renttoown industry says they have to charge these high fees simply because theres a lot of theft, a lot of damage in their industry. That could be the case but unfortunately consumers are paying double for it. The bbb rates one of the big ones as a c plus and youve gotten a lot of complaints. Over a thousand complaints, a c plus. Thats not our highest grade. Our highest grade is a plus as you know. Is the industry regulated . They are regulated to a certain degree but i dont think theyre regulated enough. I think consumers dont realize that sometimes theyre paying the apr is 100 and more. So theyre actually paying double as well and theres some problems in that industry as well so consumers need to be savvy as well and i think there needs to be more regulation. I think you were telling me in many cases if not all cases there are options. There are options. Such as . Buying it yourself and budgeting yourself. Saving up money for the product . Exactly. Setting a budget for yourself and saving up for it and buying it yourself over the long term. And theres layaway. I know sears offers it, walmart. Especially since the holidays are co
