Record Grove
Homes for Sale in Tampa, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $355,000, $292 per square foot, a median 28 days on market, sellers accepting 92% of original asking. At the median price and Hillsborough County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.73 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,580 ($4,960 with the full homestead exemption).
Record Grove is an older, small-footprint pocket of Tampa where price is driven by condition and renovation status far more than by square footage. With a housing stock spanning from 1918 to 2023 and a median build year around the early 1940s, you are looking at a market where two homes on the same block can trade very differently depending on what has been updated underneath the surface. There is no clean price band here; the spread is wide, and the median is the only number that means anything.
The homestead share sits just over 70%, which tells you most of these homes are held rather than flipped, and inventory in the 200-home range keeps turnover thin. For a buyer, that means patience and a willingness to underwrite renovation costs. For a seller, it means condition and honest pricing against comparable updated stock matter more than chasing a headline figure.

Who Record Grove is best for.
Best for
- Buyers drawn to compact, older homes who have a renovation budget and appetite for the work
- Long-hold buyers comfortable in a thin-turnover neighborhood rather than a fast-flip market
- Buyers who value architectural variety and an established location over new construction uniformity
Probably not for
- Buyers who need large, move-in-ready square footage with no deferred maintenance
- Buyers expecting a predictable price band and quick resale liquidity
- Buyers unwilling to carry inspection and systems-update risk on early-20th-century stock

The Record Grove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Record Grove 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 Record Grove.
An old-stock neighborhood priced on condition
The median living area here is right around 1,400 square feet, which puts most of the inventory on the smaller, more efficient end. Combined with a median build year in the early 1940s, this is bungalow-and-cottage territory with newer infill scattered through it — the year-built range runs all the way from 1918 to 2023. What you pay reflects which end of that range, and which level of renovation, a given house lands on.
Because the housing is old and small, the practical questions are about systems and updates: roof, electrical, plumbing, and whether prior owners modernized or left the work for you. That variability is the story of the market here. Buyers should budget for inspection surprises on the older stock; sellers of updated homes have a real story to tell, and sellers of untouched original homes should price to condition rather than to the median.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Record Grove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a neighborhood where condition swings the price more than size does, comps only work if you read them against actual renovation status. We walk the older stock knowing what to flag, we translate a median into what your specific home is worth, and we will tell you plainly when a listing is priced to its updates and when it is priced to hope.
