In Sandalwood the Condo, homes sell in a median of about 28 days, a balanced pace where pricing and presentation both matter, and values are up about 21.1% over the past year.

About 30% of county listings currently carry a price cut, which tells you how much negotiating room the average seller has already conceded.

What it costs to own in Sandalwood the Condo
On a median-priced Sandalwood the Condo home ($115,000), property taxes at Pinellas County’s typical millage of 19.3862 run roughly $1,260 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.

Run the real numbers before you commit: what selling nets you, whether your Save Our Homes benefit moves with you, and rent vs buy in Pinellas County.
At Sandalwood the Condo’s $115,000 median and Pinellas County’s adopted 19.39 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $2,230 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $1,420 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Pinellas County tax page.

Home prices run about 5.32x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside.

Top listing agents vs. buyer’s agents in Sandalwood the Condo
