Context sources. Median household income: U.S. Census American Community Survey 5-year estimates, 2023 vintage. Property tax: county millage, FY2025-26 adopted, applied to the median closed price less Florida's $50,000 homestead exemption, an estimate for a homesteaded primary residence, not a tax bill, and municipal and special-district millage varies within every county. Fair market rent: HUD, by bedroom count. Zillow Home Value Index: a different methodology from ours. ZHVI estimates the value of the typical home, while our figure is the median of homes that actually closed, so the two will not match and the gap is shown rather than hidden. Inventory and price-cut share: county series, June 2026 vintage. Multi-county markets weight each county by its closed-sale count.
Buyers and sellers
Redfin publishes a monthly estimate of buyers and a count of sellers, active listings, for this metro, through 2026-07. The buyer line is a Redfin model estimate, not a count. These figures are Redfin's, not computed from our MLS feeds.
Redfin's latest estimate for the Tampa metro puts 24,843 active sellers against roughly 14,222 buyers in the market, about 1.7 sellers for every buyer. A year ago the ratio was 2.1 to one, so the balance has moved back toward sellers. The seller line is counted listings; the buyer line is Redfin's model estimate, so treat the level as directional and the trend as the signal.

Homes for sale and homes going under contract
Both lines are counted from Redfin's county file: active listings, and pending sales, contracts signed that month. Neither is an estimate of buyers. The chart's source line carries the latest month in the file. These figures are Redfin's, not computed from our MLS feeds.
In 2026-07, 8,895 homes were listed for sale across the St. Petersburg market and 1,726 went under contract. A year earlier the counts were 9,947 and 1,676, so homes for sale are down 10.6% and contracts are up 3.0% over twelve months. Fewer homes and more contracts is the shape of a market tightening toward sellers.

What renters are asked to pay
Typical ASKED rent for units listed on Zillow (Zillow Observed Rent Index), by county, monthly. Asking rent is what new listings seek, not what sitting tenants pay; renewals are invisible to it. These figures are Zillow's, not computed from our MLS feeds.
Pinellas asks $2,023, flat in a year and 57% above 2019 levels. Asking rent describes new listings, not renewals, so a flat or falling line here reaches sitting tenants slowly and shows up first in concessions on new leases.

Florida Realtors publishes Hillsborough and Pinellas as one market. The two counties moved 15 points apart on volume, and Pinellas now sells new construction at two and a half times the price of a resale.
The Redfin Home Price Index for July, published August 18, has national prices up 3.4% on the year and five Florida metros scattered from +8.9% to -0.4%. Read what the index measures before reading the number.
Zillow's Observed Rent Index for July, county by county across the nineteen markets we cover. Typical asked rent runs from $1,593 in Marion County to $3,489 in the Keys, and the year-over-year column splits the state in two.
The Census Bureau's July report has starts down 12.4% and permits up 5.0%, the widest split of the year. In our Florida closing data, the builder pullback has been underway for two years.
Florida Realtors released July 2026 statewide figures Monday. Both halves of the market sold more homes than a year ago. Only one of them got more expensive.
Method. Monthly medians of closed residential sales for Pinellas County. The partial current month is excluded rather than plotted short. County-months with fewer than 25 closed sales are dropped. Multi-county figures are an n-weighted average of county medians, which approximates a pooled median but is not one. Data may be preliminary and subject to revision by its source.
