Over the recorded series, BAY ARBOR UNIT 1A’s median sold price moved from $259,000 (2013) to $600,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +132% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2013 at $259,000. Against the 2025 peak of $650,000, the current median stands at -8%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 1 to 14 closings a year (10-yr average 5.3). With roughly 5.3 closings a year, BAY ARBOR UNIT 1A’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
What actually trades here: 99% single-family residence, 1% ?, with a median of 2,026 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $289 in the current window.
Of the 17 recorded BAY ARBOR UNIT 1A closings since 2024, half landed between $570,000 and $650,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $505,000 and the highest $800,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $550,000 | 3 (18%) | |
| $550,000 – $583,333 | 2 (12%) | |
| $583,333 – $616,667 | 4 (24%) | |
| $616,667 – $650,000 | 3 (18%) | |
| None and up | 5 (29%) |
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 ($302 vs $284) — 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 1,710–1,873 sq ft | $302 | $538,500 | $505,000 – $570,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 1,873–2,032 sq ft | $313 | $625,000 | $585,000 – $650,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 2,034–3,273 sq ft | $284 | $650,000 | $595,000 – $800,000 | 7 |

At BAY ARBOR UNIT 1A’s $600,000 median and Pinellas County’s adopted 19.39 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $11,630 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $10,820 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.
Current asking prices run a median $609,900 against the $600,000 recorded sold median (+2%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 1.3 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 20% of BAY ARBOR UNIT 1A’s listings are under contract, against 24% for ZIP 34677 and 21% for Pinellas County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2003, 146 BAY ARBOR UNIT 1A listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (3 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 58% of BAY ARBOR UNIT 1A listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 60%. Momentum’s market-heat index for BAY ARBOR UNIT 1A reads 48/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 14% of recorded BAY ARBOR UNIT 1A sales in the window ending 2026-06 (1 of 7) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. Asking and recorded sold prices are within a few percent of each other here, so the table above is close to what a BAY ARBOR UNIT 1A buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.
