There is a lot of walking traffic which is always a concern for me. $700 for a 2/1 in that area is hard to believe but I could be wrong.

Wherever they are opening, values are going up and there is traffic.

If you are running paid traffic to your website via Google Ads, FB, etc., then your website becomes much more important and impacts whether leads convert or not. 

The higher priced condo's even though much nicer may take a haircut and get less traffic.

You can never know 100% but if you see businesses, company offices, increasing traffic, proximity to a desirable neighborhood or area (beach, downtown, etc), odds are it will help.

If your website doesn't convert inbound traffic into leads no matter how good your ad is, it is useless.Yes, you can absolutely use organic marketing.In fact, the way you SHOULD do it is to grow your social media pages with organic value first (without specifically a call to action to win a lead).

Loss of foot traffic from Hybrid Work and California's decreasing population in certain areas.These rising costs are not unique to Rubio's Restaurant nor any other type of retail business.

Tampa is great for the nightlife and offers a lot of new places to wine/dine but the traffic can get a little crazy. 

Driving traffic to your direct booking site, if you have one, can definitely be a challenge but I personally believe it's becoming more important all the time, particularly for STR. 

It varies significantly based on traffic and location.
