We’re now eight months into a historic pandemic. While everyone has been hard hit, the Tampa/Clearwater/St. Pete MSA’s diversified economy is helping us on the road to recovery as office sales activity steadily picks back up.

The total transaction volume in Tampa for August of this year was $11,611,600. Compared to $120,458,500 in AUG 2019, this reflects an approximate -90% YOY decline.

The huge difference in volume can be largely attributed to three large transactions in AUG 2019.
