De Soto Estates (Safety Harbor, FL): 4 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 4-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 88.2% of original asking; the median sale took 53 days; new construction was 25.0% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-09-20).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $560,000 | $286 | 53 | 88.2% | 4 |
| 2024 | $862,000 | $356 | 12 | 98.8% | 4 |
| 2022 | $717,500 | $319 | 5 | 100.5% | 3 |
| 2016 | $328,000 | $157 | 83 | 92.8% | 8 |
Over the recorded series, De Soto Estates’s median sold price moved from $328,000 (2016) to $560,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +71% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-10-01: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1963 and 2026 (median 1981), 2 of them new construction; none of the 3 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 31 ft).

At De Soto Estates’s $560,000 median and Pinellas County’s adopted 19.39 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $10,860 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $10,040 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 $1,204,450 against the $560,000 recorded sold median (+115%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 6 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of De Soto Estates’s listings are under contract, against 25% for ZIP 34695 and 20% for Pinellas County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information.
With asking prices running +115% over the recorded sold median, a De Soto Estates 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.
