HILCREST Home Values: What Homes Actually Sell For

HILCREST (ST PETERSBURG, FL): 5 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 6-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, median closings ran near original asking (100.0%); the median sale took 24 days (window ending 2026-08-02).

The 6-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, HILCREST’s median sold price moved from $309,375 (2015) to $729,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +136% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in HILCREST, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2015 at $309,375. Against the 2024 peak of $730,000, the current median stands at -0%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 7 closings a year (10-yr average 2.8). With roughly 2.8 closings a year, HILCREST’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 1,293 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $565 in the current window.

Where HILCREST sales actually landed, 2024–2026

Of the 13 recorded HILCREST closings since 2024, half landed between $687,500 and $783,500 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $540,000 and the highest $1,100,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

At HILCREST’s $729,000 median and Pinellas County’s adopted 19.39 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $14,130 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $13,320 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.
