South Tampa Real Estate

Prices, Neighborhoods and New Listings

In South Tampa the price changes from one block to the next. Here is what is actually selling.

The short answer

What a home in South Tampa costs right now

A well-kept single-family home in the core of South Tampa now regularly sells above $1.2 million, and even fixer-uppers rarely list under $600,000. Across Tampa Bay, listing prices are down 6.6% from a year ago and more than a quarter of listings have cut their price. That gives buyers more room than they have had in years, and it means sellers need to price on what is selling, not on what is listed.

Buying in South Tampa

I’ll send you the listings myself

There is no search bar on this page, on purpose. Tell me your price range, the streets you like and what you can’t live without, and I’ll send you every new South Tampa listing that fits, often the day it goes live. I’d rather show you ten more houses than watch you settle for the wrong one.

What I check before you fall in love

  • The flood zone and elevation certificate
  • Roof age and the wind mitigation report
  • A real insurance quote, not an estimate
  • The school line for that exact address
  • What has sold on the street this year

Selling in South Tampa

Call me before you call the contractor

In 33629 there is so little for sale that a well-prepared home still moves quickly. In 33606, buyers are choosier and the price cuts start early. Either way, the first two weeks set your final number, and the most expensive mistakes happen before the listing. I’ll walk your home with you, tell you what’s worth fixing and what isn’t, and show you what homes on your street are selling for this month.

Questions

What people ask me about South Tampa

Is South Tampa a good place to buy right now?

For buyers, it is the most room to negotiate in years. Listing prices across Tampa Bay are down 6.6% from a year ago and more than a quarter of listings have cut their price. The best streets in 33629 still move fast, so the leverage depends on the block.

Which zip codes are in South Tampa?

Mainly 33606 (Hyde Park, Davis Islands), 33629 (Palma Ceia, Golfview, Sunset Park), 33609 (Beach Park, Culbreath Isles), 33611 (Ballast Point, Bayshore Beautiful) and 33616 near Port Tampa. Each one behaves like its own market.

Do I need flood insurance in South Tampa?

Often, yes, and it can change which house is cheaper to own. Before you write an offer I pull the flood zone, the elevation certificate if there is one, the roof age and wind mitigation report, and a real insurance quote.

Well-priced homes in 33629 have been going under contract in roughly 43 to 79 days, while 33606 has averaged closer to 105. Homes that launch at the right price sell in the first two weeks. Homes that miss it sit.

Can you send me listings without a search site?

Yes. Tell me your price range, the streets you like and what you need, and I will send you every new South Tampa listing that fits, often the day it goes live.

What is my South Tampa home worth?

Ask me. I will pull what has sold on your street and nearby, walk the house if you want, and send you a number. No pitch, no follow-up campaign.
