Insurance (illustrative range)

An illustrative modeled range, not based on carrier underwriting and not a quote. Florida premiums vary significantly by roof age, wind-mitigation features, claims history, and carrier — a real quote can land well outside this range. Flood zone AE — confirm flood coverage. Get a quote from a licensed insurer before relying on any figure.

Not reported

Not stated in the listing. Confirm with the listing agent or the county record; $0 is used in the payment estimate.

How it stacks up

Comparable recent sales

6 closed sales within about 3 miles in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

Median of these 6 sales: $136,500 ($123/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.

The Messtimate™

The Messtimate

This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.

$132,090the mess$139,860

Stronger local evidence — 6 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.

Actual list price: $115,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.

A 6% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:

  • Condition & updates — a 1973 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
  • The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
  • Outliers skew it — the band above comes from 6 nearby sales; one flip or distressed sale moves the whole $/sq ft.
  • Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.

And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:

  • 1181 active listings competing, 307 under contract

For reference, this home is listed at $115,000 ($104/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 5227 81St Lane #26, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1973 (53 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • Condominium: request the association's budget, reserves, the most recent milestone or structural inspection report, and two years of meeting minutes before relying on the dues.
  • FEMA flood zone AE: lenders generally require flood insurance here — get an elevation certificate and a flood quote before the inspection period ends.
  • Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Pinellas County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
  • Listed living area is 1,110 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
  • Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
  • Review permit history with the county.
  • Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $1,208/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's current bill is not a guide Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
  • Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Answered before you ask

Frequently asked questions

How big is 5227 81St Lane #26 and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 5227 81St Lane #26 was built in 1973 and has 1,110 sq ft of living area, 2 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 5227 81St Lane #26 in?

5227 81St Lane #26 is in Paradise Shores in St Petersburg, Pinellas County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.

Why might property taxes on 5227 81St Lane #26 differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $1,208 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.

Is 5227 81St Lane #26 in a flood zone?

The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone AE, a special flood hazard area where lenders generally require flood insurance on a mortgaged purchase. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer, and ask for an elevation certificate.

Can I rely on the figures on this page?

No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
