CANDLELIGHT Home Values: What Homes Actually Sell For

CANDLELIGHT (NEW PORT RICHEY, FL): 6 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, an 8-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 93.9% of original asking; the median sale took 34 days (window ending 2026-08-02).

The 8-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, CANDLELIGHT’s median sold price moved from $165,000 (2015) to $312,450 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +89% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in CANDLELIGHT, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2015 at $165,000. Against the 2023 peak of $395,000, the current median stands at -21%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 7 closings a year (10-yr average 2.6). With roughly 2.6 closings a year, CANDLELIGHT’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% townhouse, with a median of 1,880 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $194 in the current window.

Where CANDLELIGHT sales actually landed, 2024–2026

Of the 15 recorded CANDLELIGHT closings since 2024, half landed between $300,000 and $387,500 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $210,000 and the highest $458,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

What homes of your size have sold for in CANDLELIGHT

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 ($212 vs $182) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.

The CANDLELIGHT housing stock, from the live feed

From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1978 and 2014 (median 1984); none of the 13 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 85 ft). See the current CANDLELIGHT listings →

At CANDLELIGHT’s $312,450 median and Pasco County’s adopted 16.15 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,050 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,400 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 Pasco County tax page.

Selling in CANDLELIGHT right now: what the record says
