Florida's well-known home price cuts are generating quite a bit of interest among the nation's home buyers.

Seven of the top 10 most-searched listings in the country last month were in Florida, according to Realtor.com, a database of homes for sale. The most-searched home was in south Tampa.

The website looked at searches conducted within 20 percent of the national median list price, which is $209,900. The study period, randomly selected, was the week of Feb. 15 through Feb. 21.

The Tampa home, at 5221 S. Nichol St., is listed for $250,000. It's located in the coveted neighborhood of Ballast Point. It has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and 5,219 square feet of living space.

It has teak hardwood flooring, a gourmet kitchen, wrought-iron staircase and a pool with a heated spa.

OK, you may be wondering how this house is selling for $250,000 and if there's a catch.

Of course there is. It turns out the house will be auctioned soon and that's the starting bid.

The home is scheduled for auction onsite at 11 a.m. on March 13.

Nonetheless, interest in real estate is high right now.

There are still more homes for sale than buyers, but local real estate agents have reported an increase of traffic within the past month. More people consider buying a home before the federal tax credit expires in April.

Here are the top 10 most-searched listings from Realtor.com, in order.
