St Petersburg, Florida

St Petersburg pairs Tampa Bay waterfront living with walkable historic neighborhoods and easy regional access — Tampa International Airport is about 36 minutes away and downtown Tampa around 37. Distinct areas like Shore Acres, Old Northeast, and Coquina Key give buyers real variety in feel and price. It's a city that works for both first-time buyers and waterfront upgraders.

The median list price is $425,000 and the median sold price over the past year was $418,000, which is moderate for waterfront Florida. But the range is wide — active listings run from $12,000 to over $15 million, and 432 homes are currently listed above $1 million. You can browse by price to find the segment that fits your budget.

Expect a median list price around $425,000, with an average of $382 per square foot and a median home size near 1,348 square feet. The mix leans toward single-family homes (1,231 active) and condominiums (930 active), so pricing varies a lot by property type. Single-family homes typically command more than comparable condos.

There are 2,463 active listings and 5,861 homes sold in the past 12 months, so it's an active, liquid market. Homes take a median of 48 days to sell and sellers get about 96% of asking, which points to genuine negotiating room. Keep an eye on just reduced listings for the best value.

The median HOA runs about $729 per month, which reflects the large number of condominium and gated listings — 930 condos and 413 gated homes are active now. Median property tax comes in around $4,147 per year. Fees vary widely by building and community, so budget carefully when comparing a condo against a single-family home.
