Tampa, FL Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For
What homes actually sell for in Tampa: a median closing price of $450,000 across 3,600 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, plus the full price spread and a ZIP-level breakdown.
Tampa 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: 3,600
- •Median sold price, last 6 months: $450,000
- •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $301
- •Middle half of sales closed between: $305,000 and $760,000
What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 3,600 closed sales in Tampa over the last six months, with a median closing price of $450,000. 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 $305,000 and $760,000. 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 3,588 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $227 and $401 per square foot.

- •Contract to closing: a median of 32 days, across 2,337 Tampa closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
The Tampa angle
Tampa's middle half of closings covers a wider price range than most markets we track, and that single fact should govern how you use every citywide number here. Across 3,600 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $450,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $305,000 and $760,000. With a band that broad, the median is a weak anchor for any one property and comp matching has to carry the whole valuation; the reach above the median is the longer one, so upper-end subjects especially cannot be priced by adjusting the midpoint. The compensation is depth, among the deepest comp sets we track, so you can afford strict filters on size, proximity and recency and should use all of them.

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. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,516+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Tampa address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Tampa over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track inside the 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 15% of the 3,600 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $470,000.
