Over the recorded series, WEST TAMPA HEIGHTS’s median sold price moved from $41,250 (2012) to $550,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +1233% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $41,250. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 14 closings a year (10-yr average 2.8). With roughly 2.8 closings a year, WEST TAMPA HEIGHTS’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% ?, with a median of 1,802 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $239 in the current window.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1907 and 2019 (median 1940); 3 of the current listings state there is no HOA; none of the 7 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 27 ft).

At WEST TAMPA HEIGHTS’s $550,000 median and Hillsborough County’s adopted 15.73 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $8,650 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $8,030 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 $399,000 against the $550,000 recorded sold median (-27%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 12 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of WEST TAMPA HEIGHTS’s listings are under contract, against 15% for ZIP 33607 and 25% for Hillsborough County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2004, 97 WEST TAMPA HEIGHTS listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (4 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 69% of WEST TAMPA HEIGHTS listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 80%. Momentum’s market-heat index for WEST TAMPA HEIGHTS reads 44/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 33% of recorded WEST TAMPA HEIGHTS sales in the window ending 2026-06 (1 of 3) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. Asking prices here currently sit -27% under the recorded sold median — sellers are pricing to move, and the closed record above is the number a buyer's appraiser will see.
