Data is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed by the MLS to be accurate.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.
Actual list price: $4,950,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
- The lot — this listing is waterfront; water frontage is priced far off a per-sq-ft average of the neighborhood.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
- The pool — a private pool carries cost and value that living area doesn't capture.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- This home: 325 days on market vs. a 237-day community median
- 5 active listings competing
- ≈12.0 months of supply
- 5 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $4,950,000 ($950/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 5405 Leilani Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2012: confirm the roof and HVAC install dates and whether any builder or manufacturer warranty transfers.
- Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
- 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.
- Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
- Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
- Listed living area is 5,213 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 $51,975/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
- Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Per the listing record, 5405 Leilani Drive was built in 2012 and has 5,213 sq ft of living area, 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 5405 Leilani Drive in?
5405 Leilani Drive is in Brightwater Beach Estates in St Pete Beach, Pinellas County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Brightwater Beach Estates from the same MLS data.
Why might property taxes on 5405 Leilani Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $51,975 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price. Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment resets after a sale, so a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 5405 Leilani Drive 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.
