What You Can Get For The $$ In Tampa

June 22nd, 2007 categories: Tampa MLS, Tampa Market Reports

So I received an e-mail from another Realtor this afternoon for a 4 bedroom home in Lutz on a 120 x 163 lot, pool, granite, stainless, garden bath, the works. All priced at $365k or about $167/sq ft.

This is the kind of listing that always gets me thinking about what you can get for a certain dollar amount in and around Tampa. Most of our business is in South Tampa where a similar home would sell for closer to $500k. But if you’ve got $365k to spend, let’s go shopping!

So what will $360–$370k get you throughout Hillsborough County (currently)?

In Hyde Park you can get a 1926 model 3/1 bungalow of about 1250 sqft. Too small you say? Ok then, how about a 4/3 in Westchase built in 1994 with a 3–car garage and 2246 sq ft of cooled space (down from $449k by the way)? But remember, for this one you’ll tack on an extra $1300 or so annually for the CDD fees. The developer needs their $$ back.

Still not big enough? Next in line then is Live Oak Preserve’s 4 bedroom home of almost 2500 sq ft built 2 years ago (at the top of the market). Hard to expect a buyer today to pay more than the seller did during the summer of ‘05.

In Tampa Palms you can get 2500 sq ft with a pool and 2–car garage. Valrico Oaks has a great 4/2 on over 1/3 of an acre with pool, wood floors, great landscaping, etc.

Well if it’s space you’re looking for, then head back to Lutz where you can get actually get a Tampa area home for less than $100/sq ft! That’s right. You’ll get 3800 sq ft. with 5 bedrooms on over 1/2 of an acre on a lake!

Location, location, location, right? See them all here.

   Thanks Marty. Yes, it’s interesting to see what $365k can get you in and around Tampa. I now see what I can get in Palmer Alaska for $375K:
