Franquiz
Homes for Sale in Tampa, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 12 closed sales in Franquiz Sub in Tampa, FL since 2011, the most recent in November 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).
Franquiz is an older, close-in Tampa pocket where price is driven almost entirely by condition and lot, not by a uniform product. With a median build year of 1946 and homes going back as far as 1900 and up through 2024, you are looking at a market where two houses on the same block can trade very differently depending on whether they've been renovated, rebuilt, or left original. The median living area sits around 1,330 square feet, so this is compact, older housing stock at its core.
For sellers, that spread is the story: a thoughtfully updated home stands out, while an as-is original competes on land and potential. For buyers, do your diligence on systems and structure — age here is real, and the range of conditions is wide. With owner-occupancy under half the homes, expect a mix of held and rented properties, which is worth weighing on any given street.

The 60-Second Overview
This is an established, tightly built Tampa neighborhood defined by older housing stock and a broad mix of vintages — from turn-of-the-century originals to brand-new infill — rather than a single consistent product.

Who Franquiz is best for.
Best for
- Buyers wanting a close-in Tampa location and willing to renovate an older home
- Investors comfortable underwriting condition-driven pricing and a mixed owner-occupancy profile
- Buyers seeking a compact home who value vintage character over square footage
Probably not for
- Buyers who want newer construction and a consistent, uniform product
- Anyone unwilling to budget for inspections and potential updates on pre-war or mid-century stock
- Buyers who need a large floor plan, since the median living area runs small

The Franquiz buying strategy.
If we were buying in Franquiz 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 Franquiz.
An older core with infill mixed in
The defining feature here is age and variety. A median build year of 1946 tells you the bones of this community are pre-war and mid-century, but the year-built range stretching to 2024 signals ongoing rebuilding and infill. That combination means condition is everything: expect to see original homes, gut renovations, and new construction sitting near one another, and expect price to follow the work that's been done more than any neighborhood-wide baseline.
At roughly 1,330 square feet for the median home, floor plans skew smaller and older, though new builds can break that pattern. With homestead status on about 44% of homes, this is not a uniformly owner-occupied enclave — a meaningful share is held or leased. Buyers should read each block on its own terms and lean on inspections given the age of the stock.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Franquiz. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
