In SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT, homes sell in a median of about 37 days, a balanced pace where pricing and presentation both matter, and values are up about 3.6% over the past year.

What homes of your size have sold for in SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT
The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($303 vs $230) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 775–1,088 sq ft | $303 | $292,000 | $229,900 – $362,000 | 7 |
| Mid-size homes 1,128–1,350 sq ft | $222 | $300,000 | $225,000 – $340,000 | 7 |
| Larger homes 1,350–1,912 sq ft | $230 | $350,000 | $175,000 – $400,000 | 9 |
Which way this market is moving
Active inventory across Hillsborough County has fallen over the past year (-9%). About 32% 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 SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT
On a median-priced SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT home ($318,500), property taxes at Hillsborough County’s typical millage of 15.7279 run roughly $4,223 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 Hillsborough County.
At SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT’s $318,500 median and Hillsborough County’s adopted 15.73 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,010 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,390 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 Hillsborough County tax page.
Rents and the investor math
Typical asking rent across Hillsborough County sits near $2,016 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about -1.0% year over year. County-level yield math pencils to roughly a 6.36% cap rate on typical numbers, before expenses. Home prices run about 5.07x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside. If you are weighing an investment purchase in SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT, ask your agent for community-level rent comps rather than county averages — the spread between communities is wide.
Who is moving to Hillsborough County, and what they earn
The county lost a net 1,186 people in the latest IRS county-migration year. Households moving IN average $77,979 in income versus $72,366 for those moving out — movers arriving here earn more than those leaving, which shapes what sellers can ask and what buyers compete against. The biggest out-of-state feeder markets are NY, TX, NJ. Median household income in Hillsborough County has grown about 34% since 2018 ($75,011 now). Population is up about 8% over the same stretch. An agent who knows these flows can tell you which way demand in SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT is actually pointing, not just where prices have been.

School context you can verify: the Hillsborough County school district earned a district grade of A from the Florida Department of Education (2025-26) and has held an A since 2026. Attendance zones vary by address, so confirm the zoned schools for any specific home with the district.
If you’re buying in SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT

- Homes here have been taking about 37 days to go under contract — what is your plan for the first two weeks?
- How do you handle negotiations, inspections, and appraisal gaps?
- How and how often will you communicate with me?

Why community expertise matters in SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT
Inside SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT itself, recorded closings have run from $303 per square foot on the smaller homes to $230 on the larger ones — a gap of 32% that a community average hides. An agent who prices from the size table above, not the headline median, is the difference between a home that lingers and one that sells for more, faster.
Top listing agents vs. buyer’s agents in SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT
If you’re selling in SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT, a top listing agent’s pricing, staging, and marketing are what win top dollar — the same skills behind a strong home sale.

The best SUGARCREEK SUB UNIT Realtors do both well; ask any agent you interview which side they’re strongest on and how they’d handle yours.
