Market Heat
Starboard Tower is a single condo building on Clearwater Beach, and price here is driven by condition, floor, and view far more than by any headline number. The median sits at $340,000 at roughly $274 per square foot on a typical unit around 1,345 square feet, but with the building spanning units built between 1962 and 2023, the spread from a dated original unit to a fully renovated one is wide. Treat the median as a midpoint, not a price you should expect to pay or receive.
The current posture favors buyers who can wait. Median days on market runs to about 178, and the year-over-year price change is down 21.7%, with a market heat score of 20. That combination tells sellers to price to condition and to reality, not to last cycle's comps. For buyers, it means room to negotiate and no reason to rush an offer.

Starboard Tower is a community of 206 homes in Clearwater Beach, Pinellas County, built between 1962 and 2023 (median 1978.0), with a median living area of about 1,345 square feet. 45% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

The Starboard Tower buying strategy.
If we were buying in Starboard Tower 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 Starboard Tower.
One building, a wide condition spread
With original units dating to 1962 and construction as recent as 2023, two units in the same tower can be very different products. A median year built of 1978 tells you the bulk of the building predates modern construction standards, so reserves, assessments, and any recent structural or milestone work should be at the top of your diligence list.
Liquidity is thin. Only 5 closings anchor this snapshot, so single transactions move the median more than they would in a larger sample. A long median marketing time and a soft year-over-year read reinforce the same point: this is a market where the right unit at the right price still sells, but nothing sells fast on autopilot.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Starboard Tower. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Starboard Tower buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (1.7). Basis: Recent Direction -21.7% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 45% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 80.2% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
A five-closing sample and a wide age range mean the median tells you very little about the specific unit in front of you. We underwrite each listing on its own condition, floor, view, and the building's financial health — association reserves, milestone inspection status, and pending assessments — so you are negotiating on facts rather than a headline number.
