LAKE CREST MANOR
Homes for Sale in TAMPA, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.

Lake Crest Manor is a small, established pocket of Tampa — 49 homes total, built out in a single decade between 1965 and 1975 with a median year built of 1966. At this scale, pricing here is driven almost entirely by individual home condition and how much updating has been done since original construction, not by competing floor plans or builder tiers. The median price of $310,000 and median price per square foot of $241.08 reflect a market where two homes on the same street can price very differently depending on what's been touched inside.
With zero active listings at this snapshot and only 5 closings in the most recent window, there is effectively no current inventory to benchmark against in real time — pricing has to be built from recent closed activity rather than what's sitting on the market today. Median days on market of 137 tells you homes here don't move fast; sellers should price to condition from day one rather than testing the market, and buyers who do find something listed should expect to move deliberately, not urgently.
The 60-Second Overview
LAKE CREST MANOR market snapshot (as of August 2, 2026): the median sale price is about $310K ($241 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 137 days on market for closed sales.

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 ($310K) IS the median in the snapshot above.
Windows contain 0 to 6 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 2008 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The LAKE CREST MANOR buying strategy.
If we were buying in LAKE CREST MANOR 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 LAKE CREST MANOR.
A small footprint, priced on condition
The numbers here point to a community that trades infrequently. Forty-nine homes is a small enough base that a handful of sales can move the median in either direction, and a 137-day median days-on-market means listings here typically sit through more than one buying cycle before closing. That's consistent with an inventory built almost entirely from 1965-1975 construction — homes that were largely built to similar mid-century specs but have diverged over six decades based on maintenance, renovation, and system replacement.
The median living area of 1,616 square feet and median price per square foot of $241.08 give a baseline, but with zero active listings at this snapshot there's no current inventory to compare against directly. Anyone pricing a home here — as buyer or seller — is working from recent closed data and condition-by-condition comparison, not from a live competitive set. No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so whatever draws a buyer to Lake Crest Manor is the home and the location itself, not a shared amenity package.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in LAKE CREST MANOR. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here

We track closed activity in Lake Crest Manor as it happens, evaluate each home's condition against what actually sold nearby, and help sellers avoid the two most common mistakes in a slow-turnover pocket like this: overpricing off an outdated comp, or underpricing out of impatience.
