Jon's Current Read

Bon Air Tampa is a small pocket of 16 homes, and right now only one is active, so this is not a market where trend lines mean much — each listing essentially sets its own comp. What does carry weight is the housing stock itself: built out mostly between 1978 and 1989, with a median year built of 1978 and a median living area of 1,167 square feet. Condition and updates on a given property will do more to explain price than anything the broader market is doing.

The 12-month supply figure and buyer-leaning designation both point to a market where inventory sits longer and buyers have room to negotiate rather than compete. With homestead share at just a quarter of homes, a meaningful portion of this small pool turns over as non-owner-occupied or investment property, which is worth understanding before you assume this is a typical owner-occupied street.

🟢 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($1.58M) is up 18.0% from the prior 12 months ($1.34M). With about 4 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Stellar MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 2.

The 60-Second Overview

BON AIR market snapshot (as of August 2, 2026): the median sale price is about $1.58M ($503 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 93 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is up 18% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales (5 closings in the current window).

BON AIR is a community of 16 homes in TAMPA, Hillsborough County, built between 1978 and 1989 (median 1978), with a median living area of about 1,167 square feet. 25% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

A compact, older-vintage pocket in Hillsborough County where inventory is thin enough that a single active listing can represent the entire visible market at any given time.

Best for

  • A buyer targeting a smaller, older-vintage home and comfortable evaluating condition and updates on a case-by-case basis.
  • A buyer with flexible timing who can wait for the right single listing to surface rather than choosing from several at once.
  • An investment-minded buyer, given the below-average homestead share suggesting a share of properties already function as non-owner-occupied.

Probably not for

  • A buyer who wants a large pool of active listings and current comps to compare before deciding.
  • A buyer seeking a larger living area than the community's median footprint of 1,167 square feet.
  • A seller expecting a fast sale — the 12-month supply and buyer-leaning conditions point to longer marketing time.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 2 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($1.58M) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($1.34M) IS the +18.0% one-year change.

Windows contain 0 to 12 sales each (5 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 2005 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

If we were buying in BON AIR today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 BON AIR.

Best Buy
Buyers looking for a smaller-footprint, older-vintage home in a limited-inventory setting rather than a typical subdivision with regular turnover.
Biggest Risk
With only one active listing at a time, buyers may have very few comparable options to choose from or compare against.
Sweet Spot
Best suited to a buyer comfortable with a 1978-to-1989-era home near 1,167 square feet who is willing to evaluate updates unit-by-unit.
Avoid If
Avoid if you need a wide selection of active listings to compare or a shorter, more predictable buying timeline.

A small, quiet corner of the map

With only 16 homes in the community and typically just a handful ever listed at once, Bon Air Tampa doesn't behave like a conventional subdivision market with regular turnover and a stack of comps to lean on. Buyers here are often working with one or two data points rather than a dozen, which means pricing conversations need to go property-by-property rather than by neighborhood average.

The homes themselves date to a fairly tight build window, 1978 through 1989, with a median year built of 1978 — so most of what's here has original-era systems and layouts unless a given owner has updated. Median living area runs modest at 1,167 square feet, positioning this as a smaller-footprint option rather than a move-up community. The 12-month supply reading and buyer-leaning tag both suggest patience pays off for anyone shopping here, and sellers should expect longer marketing times than a tighter market would allow.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in BON AIR. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

A 16-home community with one active listing isn't a market you can read from a portal search — it takes someone tracking off-market activity, prior sales, and condition history on a property-specific basis. We do that work before you make an offer, and we'll tell you plainly if a given home's price reflects its age and finish level or if it's priced ahead of what the small comp set supports.
