• Description/Excerpt: In an analysis of 44,000 homes sales in 35 communities since 2005, not one area in Pasco escaped falling prices. From the peak in the first half of 2006 to the first half of 2008, prices fell off 34 percent across the board. Home sales were down 74 percent from the height of the boom. But not all neighborhoods took an equal beating. The St. Petersburg Times discovered a gulf dividing west Pasco from east-central Pasco when it comes to housing sales prices. West Pasco communities fill the Top 10 list of the most-depreciated areas. Think Hudson, Holiday, Gulf Harbors and Shady Hills. East-central Pasco dominates the list of the least-depreciated areas. Think Zephyrhills, Dade City, Land O'Lakes and Quail Hollow.
