Estimated ownership costs

Estimated costs & disclosures

Estimated ownership costs for general information. Confirm each with the county, your lender, and an insurer. See data & estimate notes.

Property tax (first-year est.)
~$5,564/yr

Estimate: a typical Hillsborough effective rate applied to the list price before any exemptions. Florida bills change with reassessment, homestead and other exemptions, and local taxing districts — this is not your expected bill. Confirm with the county property appraiser.

CDD assessment
None on record

No CDD assessment appears in our records for this community. CDD assessments show on the county tax bill — confirm with the tax collector.

Insurance (illustrative range)
$2k–$5k/yr

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 insurance not federally mandated (Zone X). Get a quote from a licensed insurer before relying on any figure.

HOA
None reported

The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no mandatory association applies.

Environmental data

Flood zone & elevation

Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.

FEMA flood zone
Zone X

From the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. In this zone lender-required flood insurance is generally not mandated; confirm for the parcel.

Windstorm / insurance
Obtain a quote

Hillsborough County is on the Florida coast; wind coverage is a major part of the premium. Premiums and coverage vary by home (roof age, wind mitigation, claims history); obtain a quote from a licensed insurer.

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: $445,950 ($204/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.

$400,568the mess$459,347

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: $529,900 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.

A 15% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:

  • Condition & updates — a 1969 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.
  • 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:

  • 1 active listing competing, 1 under contract

For reference, this home is listed at $529,900 ($243/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.

🟡 Asking $243 per square foot, about 19% above the community’s $204 median. Ponderosa’s 12-month median sold price per square foot is $204. MLS facts: Stellar MLS closed sales. A per-square-foot gap is context, not an appraisal; condition, lot, and view set the final number here.

61% of homes in Ponderosa are owner-occupied.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 615 Valle Vista Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1969 (57 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
  • FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
  • Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Hillsborough 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.
  • Listed living area is 2,177 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 $5,564/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.
  • School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Answered before you ask

Frequently asked questions

How big is 615 Valle Vista Drive and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 615 Valle Vista Drive was built in 1969 and has 2,177 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 615 Valle Vista Drive in?

615 Valle Vista Drive is in Ponderosa in Brandon, Hillsborough County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.

Does 615 Valle Vista Drive have an HOA?

The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.

Why might property taxes on 615 Valle Vista Drive differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $5,564 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 615 Valle Vista Drive in a flood zone?

The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.

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.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page.
