TAMPA Tampa's Bay's luxury market is kicking off another strong year with the $6.275 million sale of an 8,000-square-foot bayfront home on Davis Islands. <\/p>\n
The seven-bedroom, seven-bath home sold in late January in an off-market transaction. The deed had not been recorded as of Friday, but the seller was a pair of trusts in the name of Christina S. Lavery, records show. <\/p>\n
Lavery formerly was married to New York Yankees chairman Hal Steinbrenner, who with his brother Hank inherited the team from their late father, George Steinbrenner. <\/p>\n
Tampa Bay notched eight sales above $6 million last year compared to none in 2015. Of the top 25 priciest homes sold last year, four were in Davis Islands, the most of any bay area community. <\/p>\n

\"There is a very limited supply of open bay property in Tampa,'' said Stephen Gay, the Smith & Associates listing agent. \"Davis Island is exceptionally attractive because it is very convenient to downtown Tampa and all South Tampa has to offer.'' <\/p>\n
