Imperial Cove 8
Homes for Sale in Clearwater, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Imperial Cove 8 sits at a price point that stands apart from most of Pinellas County's condo stock, with a median of $115,000 and a median price per square foot of $149.35. That combination points to a compact, entry-level unit type rather than anything oversized or amenity-driven — the value here is in the low buy-in, not the square footage.
The number that deserves the most attention is the median days on market: 199. That is a slow-moving listing environment, and combined with a closings window of only three sales, the price data should be read as directional rather than precise. Sellers should price realistically from day one rather than testing the market, and buyers have room to negotiate on both price and terms given how long units are sitting.
The 60-Second Overview
Imperial Cove 8 market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $115K ($149 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 199 days on market for closed sales.
Imperial Cove 8 is a Clearwater condo community in Pinellas County priced well below the broader county median, with recent MLS activity showing long market times and a thin volume of closed sales.
Who Imperial Cove 8 is best for.

The Imperial Cove 8 buying strategy.
If we were buying in Imperial Cove 8 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 Imperial Cove 8.
A low entry point, thin data
At a median price of $115,000 and roughly $149 per square foot, Imperial Cove 8 reads as one of the more accessible condo options in the Clearwater market. That price point tends to draw buyers focused on acquisition cost first, whether the goal is a primary residence, a low-maintenance second home, or an investment unit — condition and unit-specific factors will do more to move value here than location alone.
The 199-day median days on market is the figure that matters most for strategy. Units are not moving quickly, which suggests either a mismatch between list price and buyer expectations, seasonal softness, or a smaller pool of interested buyers at any given time. With only three closings feeding the current snapshot, treat any single data point as a starting reference rather than a firm benchmark — a proper comparison should lean on active listings and recent contract activity, not just the trailing median.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Imperial Cove 8. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
