Lake Magdalene For Rest
Homes for Sale in Tampa, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Price here is driven by condition and structure more than address. With a housing stock that runs from 1927 to 2024 and a median build year of 1974, you are buying into a wide spread of eras on the same map — original mid-century homes, decades of renovations, and a handful of new builds. That variety is why the median lands at $635,000 and roughly $233 per square foot: it reflects a mix, not a uniform product. Two homes a block apart can be very different bets.
The market posture is slow and deliberate. A median of 172 days on market tells you this is not a place where listings clear in a weekend, and with only three closings in the recent window, there is thin recent comp data to lean on. For buyers, that means room to underwrite carefully and negotiate on condition. For sellers, it means pricing to the median discipline and preparing for a longer runway.
The 60-Second Overview
Lake Magdalene For Rest market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $635K ($233 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 172 days on market for closed sales.
Lake Magdalene For Rest is a community of 254 homes in Tampa, Hillsborough County, built between 1927 and 2024 (median 1974.0), with a median living area of about 2,360 square feet. 77% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Lake Magdalene For Rest is an established, slow-turning pocket of Tampa where the roughly 2,360-square-foot median home sits on a long span of build eras, and a high homestead share suggests most owners are holding rather than trading.
Who Lake Magdalene For Rest is best for.
Best for
- Buyers around the mid-$600s who want an established location and will pay for condition or renovate to their standard
- Long-term owners planning to hold, comfortable in a low-turnover, slow-moving market
- Buyers who value diligence time and want room to inspect and negotiate rather than compete in a rush
Probably not for
- Anyone needing a quick sale or purchase, given a median near 172 days on market
- Buyers who want a uniform, newer-build product rather than a wide mix of eras and conditions
- Sellers expecting fast turnover or a bidding-war outcome
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

The Lake Magdalene For Rest buying strategy.
If we were buying in Lake Magdalene For Rest 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 Magdalene For Rest.
A condition-driven market, not a price-tier one
With 254 homes and build years stretching from 1927 to 2024, the single most useful thing to know is that the number on the sheet tells you less than the property in front of you. A 1970s home in original shape and a recent rebuild will not price alike, and the median of $635,000 sits in the middle of that reality. Square footage helps anchor value — the median living area is just under 2,360 square feet — but inspection findings, roof and systems age, and renovation quality will move a deal more than any comp.
The pace reinforces this. At 172 days to sell on the median, and with only three closings in the recent window, buyers have time to do diligence and sellers cannot count on momentum doing the work. A homestead share near 77 percent points to a stable ownership base and limited turnover, which is part of why inventory moves the way it does — this is a hold-and-live community, not a churn market.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Lake Magdalene For Rest. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this thin on recent closings and this wide on build era, the value is in reading each property on its own terms rather than trusting a headline median. We underwrite condition, systems age, and renovation quality against the few comps that exist, and we price and negotiate for the long days-on-market reality instead of pretending it away. Whether you are buying carefully or listing a home that needs to stand out over a longer runway, that is the work that protects the number.
