Clearwater, FL Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Clearwater produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last six months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 6 months: 1,023
  • Median sold price, last 6 months: $369,900
  • Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $260
  • Middle half of sales closed between: $205,000 and $569,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 1,023 closed sales in Clearwater over the last six months, with a median closing price of $369,900. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $205,000 and $569,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. The large tracked sample provides substantial market-level evidence. Across the 1,021 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $179 and $345 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Clearwater over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $205,000 and $569,000. Among the 194 Florida markets with a published band, Clearwater's middle-half spread ($205,000 to $569,000) ranks 167th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 96th percentile of the 2,187 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of September 4, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 31 days, across 704 Clearwater closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • Contract to closing: a median of 31 days, across 676 Clearwater closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 1,023 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Clearwater angle

Clearwater's quartile spread is in the top 10% among the markets we track, so any single citywide number describes a specific property poorly. Across 1,023 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $369,900, and the middle half of sales closed between $205,000 and $569,000. Price from a comp set matched to the subject, and be explicit with clients that the citywide median is context rather than valuation. The tracked closing count runs deeper than most markets we track, which is what makes narrow, well-matched comp selection realistic here rather than an ideal you abandon halfway.

Citywide medians hide block-by-block variation. Resideline publishes free, regularly refreshed market snapshots for Clearwater ZIP codes: 33767.

From market read to offer price

A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Clearwater address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Clearwater over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Clearwater city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 14% of the 1,023 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $388,000.

What is the biggest pricing mistake in Clearwater?

Anchoring on the citywide median. Across 1,023 closings tracked over six months the median was $369,900 and the middle half closed between $205,000 and $569,000, a spread in the top 10% among markets we track. A property can sit at either end of that band and still be an ordinary sale, so the comp set has to define the value and the citywide figure has to stay in the background.
