Fair Burn
Homes for Sale in Clearwater, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 9 closed sales in Fair Burn Add in Clearwater, FL since 2016, the most recent in July 2024. Across Clearwater as a whole, 1,267 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $315,000, 49 median days on market, with 393 homes for sale today. At that median and Pinellas County's FY2025-26 rate of 19.39 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,110 ($5,290 with the full homestead exemption).
Fair Burn Add is an older Clearwater platt with a median year built of 1957 and a build range stretching from 1920 to 2023, so pricing here is driven almost entirely by condition and how much of the structure has been updated rather than by lot size or amenities. Two houses on the same street can sit at very different price points simply because one has been renovated and one has not.
With 199 homes in the community and just under 59% carrying a homestead exemption, turnover is moderate rather than heavy, which keeps inventory from flooding the market at any given time. For buyers, that means being ready to move when a well-updated property in this age range surfaces; for sellers, it means condition and documentation of any renovation work matter more than staging tricks.

Who Fair Burn is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who want to evaluate and price a home based on its individual renovation and system age rather than a uniform build year
- Buyers comfortable managing an older-home purchase, including budgeting for roof, plumbing, or electrical updates where needed
- Buyers prioritizing a Clearwater location and a modest, efficient floor plan over resort-style community amenities
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a single consistent architectural era across the whole neighborhood
- Buyers seeking organized community amenities as part of the purchase, since none are currently identified in MLS listings here
- Buyers unwilling to fund inspections or renovation work on a home built well before recent construction standards

The Fair Burn buying strategy.
If we were buying in Fair Burn 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 Fair Burn.
A neighborhood defined by build year, not floor plan
The wide year-built range in Fair Burn Add, 1920 through 2023, means this is not a subdivision with a single dominant architectural era. Buyers will find original mid-century construction alongside more recently built or substantially rebuilt homes, often on the same block. That mix is the core variable to understand before shopping here: two listings with similar square footage can represent very different levels of system age, wiring, plumbing, and roof condition.
No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so this is a neighborhood valued for its location and housing stock rather than shared recreational features. At a median living area of 1,554 square feet, homes here skew toward modest, efficient footprints rather than expansive floor plans, which keeps maintenance and utility costs more predictable for owners weighing renovation against new construction elsewhere.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Fair Burn. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a neighborhood where build year varies by a full century, the difference between a sound purchase and a costly one often comes down to what has been updated and what has not. We walk buyers through permit history and renovation scope property by property, and we help sellers document upgrades clearly so a home's condition, not just its address, drives the offer.
