In slightly over a half-second, the search will deliver 13,900,000 results. Similar searches for Clearwater, Carrollwood, Temple Terrace,  produce a proportional number of returns. Despite the economic hardships imposed by the Coronavirus crisis on Tampa Bay consumers, the demand for real estate is booming.  The Wall Street Journal published a trend yesterday indicating that mortgage applications for purchase a home have achieved levels equal to last year. According to redfin.com, home buying demand is 16.5% higher now than it was pre-COVID-19 on a seasonally adjusted basis. Redfin attributes this explosive growth in real estate shoppers to two factors, including record-low mortgage rates. The other primary driver is a migration trend from expensive metropolitan areas as buyers hunt for more space at lower prices. To capture a larger share of the robust market, local real estate agents need to stand apart from the millions of Google results.  Advertising on Tampa radio will help accomplish this.  Here's why. Research from Nielsen indicates that among consumers who postponed purchasing a new house because of the pandemic, 11% of loyal radio listeners say they intend to complete the purchase within 12 months. This is 22% more likely than the general population and 57% more likely than loyal TV viewers.

This includes local TV, newspaper, pay-TV, social media, or streaming audio sites like Pandora and Spotify.

Again, this reach is superior to all other media.[![Advertise On Tampa Radio Real Estate](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Advertise%20On%20Tampa%20Radio%20Real%20Estate.png?width=1860&name=Advertise%20On%20Tampa%20Radio%20Real%20Estate.png)](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/tampa-bay-media-reach-by-consumer-demographics) The commissions earned by real agents are based on the sale price of the home. Advertising on Tampa radio also has the biggest reach among owners whose homes have the greatest value.

Higher rates could soften the market. That's why Tampa Bay real estate agents need to advertise now to attract both buyers and sellers. #### More Advice For Tampa Bay Small Business Owners - [Who'll Be Buying As Tampa Bay Small Businesses Reopen?](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/wholl-be-buying-as-tampa-bay-small-businesses-reopen) - [Should Your Tampa Bay Small Business Continue To Advertise?](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/should-your-tampa-bay-small-business-continue-to-advertise) - [Does Cable TV Advertising Make Sense For Tampa Small Business Owners?](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/does-cable-tv-advertising-make-sense-for-tampa-small-business-owners) - [How To Bring Employees Back To Your Tampa Bay Small Business](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/how-to-bring-employees-back-to-your-tampa-bay-small-business) - [Tampa Bay Small Business Advice: Facebook Advertising During Pandemic](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/tampa-small-business-advice-facebook-advertising-during-pandemic) - [Reclaim 'Top Of Mind' When Your Tampa Bay Small Business Re-Opens](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/reclaim-top-of-mind-when-your-tampa-bay-small-business-re-opens) - [Who Do Tampa Bay Consumers Trust During A Crisis?](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/who-do-tampa-bay-consumers-trust-during-a-crisis) #### [![Advertise On Tampa Radio](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/5556325/b1085154-a282-483f-a9d8-07b04c2db836.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/5556325/b1085154-a282-483f-a9d8-07b04c2db836) Topics: [Real Estate](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/real-estate), [small business](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/small-business), [small business owner](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/small-business-owner), [Television Advertising](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/television-advertising), [Streaming Audio](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/streaming-audio), [best way to advertise](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/best-way-to-advertise), [radio advertising](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/radio-advertising), [online advertising](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/online-advertising), [social media advertising](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/social-media-advertising), [newspaper advertising](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/newspaper-advertising), [pay-tv](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/pay-tv), [home sellers](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/home-sellers), [advertise on radio](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/advertise-on-radio), [home buyers](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/topic/home-buyers) #### Written by [Larry Julius](https://blog.advertiseintampa.com/author/larry-julius) ### Receive Great Advertising Advice Direct To Your Inbox...
