Buffalo Heights (TAMPA, FL): 12 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 12-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 97.6% of original asking; the median sale took 30 days; new construction was 33.3% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-09-20).

Over the recorded series, Buffalo Heights’s median sold price moved from $146,500 (2013) to $674,500 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +360% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2013 at $146,500. Against the 2025 peak of $1,157,500, the current median stands at -42%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 19 closings a year (10-yr average 8.8). With roughly 8.8 closings a year, Buffalo Heights’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.
Of the 29 recorded Buffalo Heights closings since 2024, half landed between $565,000 and $1,314,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $410,000 and the highest $2,100,000. 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 $450,000 | 3 (10%) | |
| $450,000 – $800,000 | 11 (38%) | |
| $800,000 – $1,150,000 | 2 (7%) | |
| $1,150,000 – $1,500,000 | 8 (28%) | |
| None and up | 5 (17%) |
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. Larger homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than smaller ones ($409 vs $391) — less common, and usually a sign of newer or upgraded product at the top of the range.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 868–1,592 sq ft | $391 | $470,000 | $410,000 – $1,116,000 | 9 |
| Mid-size homes 1,624–2,743 sq ft | $345 | $749,000 | $560,000 – $2,100,000 | 9 |
| Larger homes 2,935–3,848 sq ft | $409 | $1,299,990 | $1,145,625 – $1,600,000 | 11 |

At Buffalo Heights’s $674,500 median and Hillsborough County’s adopted 15.73 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $10,610 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $9,980 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.
Current asking prices run a median $850,000 against the $674,500 recorded sold median (+26%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 4 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 17% of Buffalo Heights’s listings are under contract, against 21% for ZIP 33603 and 22% for Hillsborough County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Momentum’s market-heat index for Buffalo Heights reads 46/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +26% over the recorded sold median, a Buffalo Heights listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.
