True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of October 2026, the MLS records 26 closed sales in Ambleside 2Nd Add in Clearwater, FL since 2006, the most recent in August 2026. Across Clearwater as a whole, 1,358 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $312,500, 50 median days on market, with 1,107 homes for sale today. At that median and Pinellas County's FY2025-26 rate of 19.39 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,060 ($5,250 with the full homestead exemption).
What sets price here is condition, not location alone. With a median build year of 1969 and a stock that runs from 1923 all the way to 2022, two homes on the same street can be a full renovation apart. Expect a wide spread around the median, driven almost entirely by how much work a given house has already had done.
For buyers, that spread is the opportunity: an updated home and a tired one can sit close together, so diligence on systems and permits pays off. For sellers, presentation and documented improvements are what separate you from an older comparable that hasn't been touched. This is a market where the specifics of the individual home matter more than the neighborhood average.

The 60-Second Overview
Ambleside 2Nd Add is a small, established pocket of 177 homes in Clearwater with a century-wide range of build years, which means the housing stock is genuinely mixed rather than uniform. At a median living area of roughly 1,935 square feet, these are mostly right-sized homes rather than starter boxes or estates.
Stellar MLS sales records identify 77 homes in Ambleside that have changed hands since 2004, built between 1965 and 1976 (median 1969), with a median living area of about 1,872 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes.

Who Ambleside is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want to hold long-term and value an established, owner-occupied-leaning street
- Renovation-minded buyers willing to take on an older home to build value through updates
- Buyers targeting a right-sized home near 1,935 sqft rather than a large estate
Probably not for
- Buyers who require move-in-ready new construction with predictable, uniform finishes
- Investors looking for rapid-turnover flip inventory in a fast-churning market
- Buyers set on a strict, published price ceiling who won't underwrite condition case by case

The Ambleside buying strategy.
If we were buying in Ambleside today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Ambleside.
An established street, not a subdivision
The build range from 1923 to 2022 tells you this area filled in over generations rather than in a single phase. A 1969 median means the bulk of the inventory is mid-century construction, with older bungalows and newer infill mixed in. Buyers should read each listing on its own terms — foundation age, roof, plumbing, and electrical will vary house to house, and an older year built is not a negative when the systems have been updated.
Roughly two-thirds of homes here carry a homestead exemption, which signals a stock that turns over slowly and tends to be owner-occupied rather than churned. That's a stability indicator: fewer rapid flips, more homes held over time. The flip side is that inventory can be thin, so when a well-kept home lists, it warrants a prompt look.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Ambleside. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a neighborhood where price is condition-driven and homes span nearly a century of construction, the average number tells you almost nothing about the house in front of you. We underwrite each property individually — age of systems, quality of updates, and how it stacks against the specific comparable that will set the appraisal — so you're not overpaying for a repaint or walking away from a solid renovation.
