Homes for Sale in Tampa, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 20 closed sales in Bearss Heights in Tampa, FL since 2013, the most recent in December 2024. Across Tampa as a whole, 4,890 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $442,500, 39 median days on market, with 1,287 homes for sale today. At that median and Hillsborough County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.73 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,960 ($6,340 with the full homestead exemption).

Bearss Heights is a small, older pocket in north Tampa — 75 homes, with the typical house built around 1959 and living space near 1,086 square feet. Price here is driven far less by the neighborhood label and far more by the individual house: what has been updated, what has been added on, and what condition the original mid-century structure is in. Two homes on the same street can sit worlds apart on price depending on renovation history.
The construction range runs from 1957 all the way to 2023, which tells you this is a place where teardowns and new builds are landing next to original stock. For a buyer, that means you are underwriting the specific home, not a comp average. For a seller, condition and updates are your lever — a well-executed renovation is what separates you from the pack in a market this compact.
The 60-Second Overview
This is a modest-scale, older Tampa subdivision where the homes skew small and mid-century, but a spread of newer construction up to 2023 signals ongoing turnover and rebuilding within the same 75-home footprint.

The Bearss Heights buying strategy.
If we were buying in Bearss Heights 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 Bearss Heights.
A small footprint with a wide condition spread
With a median year built of 1959 and median living area around 1,086 square feet, the baseline product here is a compact single-story home from an earlier era of Tampa building. That original stock is the reason condition matters so much: the difference between an untouched house and a studs-out remodel is enormous, and it shows up directly in price. There is no such thing as an average deal here — you evaluate each roof, system, and floor plan on its own.
The homestead share sits under 40%, meaning a meaningful portion of these 75 homes are not owner-occupied primary residences. Combined with the presence of construction as recent as 2023, that points to a neighborhood where investment, rebuilding, and rental use are part of the picture. Buyers should read that as opportunity and as caution: there is room to add value through work, but you are buying into a mixed-use ownership pattern, not a uniform block.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Bearss Heights. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
