The market in context

These come from outside sources, not from our MLS records. We keep them separate so you can see where an independent series agrees with ours and where it does not.

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, 8,793 homes were listed for sale across the Tampa market and 1,777 went under contract. A year earlier the counts were 9,455 and 2,026, so homes for sale are down 7.0% and contracts are down 12.3% over twelve months. When both lines move together, the balance between buyers and sellers holds roughly steady.

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.

Hillsborough asks $2,016, -1.0% in a year and 48% 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.
