Is The High End Rebounding In The Tampa Bay Area?

Back in February I featured video of Matt Geiger's 30,000+ square foot estate after a private open house.  After three and a half years on the market and several reductions from an initial asking price of $19,900,000 to $9,995,000, the Geiger property has finally sold for $8 million.  The $8 million dollar sales price is the highest since May of 2008 when a 13,000 square foot waterfront estate in Belleair sold for $10,250,000.  The January edition of Forbes Magazine said a recent Bain Consulting study indicated that sales of luxury goods for 2010 nearly reached the 2007 peak of $235 Billion.  Maybe the high end in Florida is ready for a rebound!!!

This premier estate sits on almost 28 acres and has a seperate 4900 square foot guest quarters and garage space for 6 cars.  The second (entrance level) and third floors of this home are elegant and well appointed.  The main house has 6 bedrooms, 8 full baths, & four half baths.  The rest of the home is made for entertaining.  I'll start with the resort style pool with a large fire pit in the center, a full outdoor cabana, outdoor bar, & chef's kitchen.  Between the outdoor bar, the lanai off the living room, and the seating around the pool, you could easily accommodate over 100 people comfortably.  Add the 1st level kitchen, full bar area, dance floor, DJ booth, 20 person theater, card room, cigar room, and a jacuzzi room (with a Jacuzzi that could hold 12 6'6" pro athletes) and you could easily host a party for 200 of your closest friends without disturbing the main living area.
