Tampa’s real estate market ranks among nation’s best

WalletHub’s report considered factors like affordability, price appreciation, and days on the market.

Stop complaining about house prices for a minute and listen up. Tampa’s real estate market is making headlines again, this time ranking No. 7 among large cities on WalletHub’s list of the nation’s best.

Let’s hypothesize why:

  • For the investment-minded folks, the report says property in Tampa appreciated more than 93% between 2016 and 2022, meaning homeowners are seeing big profits.
  • You’ll often hear that “houses used to be way cheaper around here.” But actually, the median sale price in the Cigar City is ~$394,000, according to Zillow. That’s similar to Florida at large, meaning something with character is still in the cards.
  • Zillow also says the median number of days a house is listed on the market is 21, giving buyers three weeks to get in the door. That means this Seminole Heights gem may not last much longer.
