FAIRBURN (TAMPA, FL): 4 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 6-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 89.6% of original asking; the median sale took 111 days (window ending 2026-08-02).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $502,500 | $258 | 111 | 89.6% | 4 |
| 2025 | $727,500 | $343 | 96 | 91.0% | 4 |
| 2017 | $235,000 | $139 | 106 | 88.7% | 6 |
| 2016 | $86,500 | $48 | 15 | 101.6% | 3 |
| 2015 | $165,000 | $108 | 95 | 93.6% | 3 |
| 2014 | $74,900 | $57 | 66 | 90.0% | 5 |
Over the recorded series, FAIRBURN’s median sold price moved from $74,900 (2014) to $502,500 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +571% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $74,900. Against the 2025 peak of $727,500, the current median stands at -31%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 6 closings a year (10-yr average 2.5). With roughly 2.5 closings a year, FAIRBURN’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: 100% single-family residence, with a median of 1,814 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $258 in the current window.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1900 and 2018 (median 1912); none of the 6 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 43 ft). See the current FAIRBURN listings →
At FAIRBURN’s $502,500 median and Hillsborough County’s adopted 15.73 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,900 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $7,280 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 $475,000 against the $502,500 recorded sold median (-5%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 9 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of FAIRBURN’s listings are under contract, against 12% for ZIP 33602 and 25% for Hillsborough County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2005, 96 FAIRBURN listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (2 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 72% of FAIRBURN listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 50%. Momentum’s market-heat index for FAIRBURN reads 27/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 25% of recorded FAIRBURN sales in the window ending 2026-06 (1 of 4) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. Asking prices here currently sit -5% under the recorded sold median — sellers are pricing to move, and the closed record above is the number a buyer's appraiser will see.
