Carrollwood Reserve
Homes for Sale in Tampa, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $695,000, $270 per square foot, a median 9 days on market, sellers accepting 99% of original asking. At the median price and Hillsborough County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.73 mills, annual property tax runs about $10,930 ($10,310 with the full homestead exemption).
The number that actually explains Carrollwood Reserve is the median 9-day time on market. With a $695,000 median price against a median $269.69 per square foot, buyers are pricing established, larger-format homes (median living area is just over 2,600 square feet) built in a tight 1995-1999 window, and they are not waiting around to make an offer.
The 88.9% homestead share tells the rest of the story: this is a community of primary residences, not a rotating investor pool, which means listings tend to come from long-tenured owners rather than flips. Combined with only 72 homes in the current snapshot, sellers are working with a thin, motivated buyer pool and limited competing inventory, while buyers need to be pre-positioned to move inside that 9-day window rather than treat the search as leisurely.
The 60-Second Overview
Carrollwood Reserve market snapshot (as of September 12, 2026): the median sale price is about $695K ($270 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 9 days on market for closed sales.
Carrollwood Reserve is a Tampa community of homes built in a compact 1995-1999 stretch, carrying a median size of roughly 2,627 square feet and a median price of $695,000, with current MLS records showing no confirmed community amenities to factor into that number.
Who Carrollwood Reserve is best for.
Best for
- Buyers looking for a larger, established single-family home from a specific late-1990s build era
- Buyers planning to homestead the property long-term rather than hold it as a short-term investment
- Buyers ready to move quickly and decisively in a market with a 9-day median time on market
Probably not for
- Buyers who want confirmed community amenities like a clubhouse, pool, or gated entry
- Buyers who prefer new construction over a home built in the 1995-1999 range
- Buyers who want a slow, low-competition search process with room to negotiate on time
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 ($695K) IS the median in the snapshot above.
Windows contain 0 to 5 sales each (3 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 2004 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The Carrollwood Reserve buying strategy.
If we were buying in Carrollwood Reserve 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 Carrollwood Reserve.
Built in a single era, priced on the home itself
A median year built of 1997 across the current inventory means these homes share a consistent construction era rather than a mix of decades, which simplifies comparisons on layout, systems age, and finish level. At a median $269.69 per square foot on a median 2,627.5-square-foot home, the math lands on a $695,000 median price that is a function of size and condition more than any amenity premium.
That last point matters: current MLS data does not identify community amenities here, so whatever value a buyer is paying for is in the lot, the square footage, and the home itself, not a clubhouse or gated package. Anyone assuming a resort-style amenity set should verify that independently rather than price it in.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Carrollwood Reserve. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here

We run the per-square-foot comps against the 1995-1999 build cohort specifically, confirm whether any HOA or amenity structure actually applies to a given address since none is confirmed at the community level, and structure offers to move inside the window this market is actually trading in.
