Watch Hill (TAMPA, FL): 5 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 93.4% of original asking; the median sale took 49 days; new construction was 20.0% 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 | $196,000 | $172 | 49 | 93.4% | 5 |
| 2025 | $350,000 | $245 | 86 | 94.9% | 5 |
| 2024 | $222,555 | $250 | 3 | 95.7% | 3 |
| 2021 | $237,600 | $171 | 14 | 80.6% | 3 |
Over the recorded series, Watch Hill’s median sold price moved from $237,600 (2021) to $196,000 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — -18% 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 1923 and 2025 (median 1961), 1 of them new construction; none of the 8 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 48 ft).

At Watch Hill’s $196,000 median and Hillsborough County’s adopted 15.73 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,080 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,460 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.
Demand check: 100% of Watch Hill’s listings are under contract, against 19% for ZIP 33605 and 22% for Hillsborough County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings.
The table above is the closed-sale record to price a Watch Hill home against; asking prices are an opening position, recorded closings are the value.
We don’t publish algorithm guesses for specific homes — they can’t see condition, upgrades, or your lot. A local agent will prepare a records-based valuation from the same closed-sale data on this page, adjusted for your home. Free, no obligation.
