Where it's great to be a home buyer

If you're searching for property in Tampa, luck is on your side. Too many listed homes and not enough buyers means you've got the upper hand.

Want all-new appliances or $20,000 knocked off the asking price before you sign? Chances are, sellers in Tampa will be willing to comply.

The same can be said for Minneapolis, Miami and Kansas City, Mo. All three, like Tampa, currently favor buyers, thanks to an overabundance of supply and low sales rates.
