Betty Lane Heights
Homes for Sale in Clearwater, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 6 recorded sales closed at a median of $267,500, $220 per square foot, a median 7 days on market, sellers accepting 101% of original asking. At the median price and Pinellas County's FY2025-26 rate of 19.39 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,190 ($4,370 with the full homestead exemption).
Price here is driven by condition and lot, not floor plan. With a median year built of 1956 and homes stretching back to 1924, you are buying into mid-century stock where renovation status separates one sale from the next. The median sits at $258,250, or about $228 per square foot on a typical 1,308-square-foot home — but treat that as a midpoint, not a ceiling or a floor. Two houses on the same street can price very differently based on updates, roof, and systems.
The market posture is aggressive. A median of six days on market against a heat score of 86 tells you well-priced, presentable homes move fast. For sellers, that means pricing to the current pace pays off and overpricing gets punished quickly. For buyers, it means you need financing lined up and a willingness to act — but only a small number of homes closed in the recent window, so read each comp carefully rather than assuming the median applies to your target.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending September 12 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($268K) IS the median in the snapshot above.
Windows contain 0 to 8 sales each (6 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period 2014 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The Betty Lane Heights buying strategy.
If we were buying in Betty Lane 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 Betty Lane Heights.
An older-stock pocket where condition is everything
With a build range from 1924 to 2004 and a median vintage of 1956, this is not a uniform subdivision — it is a layered neighborhood where you'll find original mid-century homes next to reworked ones. That spread is why the single median price tells you less than usual: the number you actually pay depends heavily on whether a roof, electrical, and kitchen have already been addressed. Budget for inspection and expect to underwrite renovation, not just square footage.
Homes are modest in footprint, with a median around 1,308 square feet, so the value story is about location and condition rather than size. A homestead share near 58% points to a stable base of owner-occupants rather than a rental-heavy block, which tends to keep the housing stock better maintained over time.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Betty Lane Heights. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
