Market Heat
Price here is driven by condition and lot, not by any single product type. With a median year built of 1956 and a stock that stretches from 1900 to 2024, you are looking at a genuinely mixed inventory — original mid-century homes, older cottages, and scattered new construction sharing the same map. At a median around $254,900 and roughly $247 per square foot on a modest median footprint of about 1,324 square feet, the number you pay is a function of how much work a specific house has already absorbed. Expect a wide spread from one address to the next.
The market posture is firm but not frantic. A heat score of 68 and a median of 29 days to contract — just under a month — tells you well-priced, move-in-ready homes trade in a reasonable window, while anything overpriced or needing significant work sits. For sellers, that means condition and pricing discipline matter more than timing. For buyers, there is room to be selective, but the better-prepared homes still move, so financing and inspection readiness pay off.
The 60-Second Overview
Sulphur Springs Addition market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $255K ($247 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 29 days on market for closed sales.
Sulphur Springs Addition is a community of 2,917 homes in Tampa, Hillsborough County, built between 1900 and 2024 (median 1956), with a median living area of about 1,324 square feet. 40% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Sulphur Springs Addition is an older, close-in Tampa neighborhood in Hillsborough County with a deep and varied housing stock — the kind of place where two homes on the same block can be decades and a full renovation apart. The homestead share sits under 40%, so a meaningful portion of the housing here is held as non-owner-occupied.
Who Sulphur Springs Addition is best for.
Best for
- Value-add buyers with a renovation budget who want to buy on condition and improve
- Investors seeking close-in Tampa product where non-owner-occupied housing is common
- Budget-conscious buyers targeting a sub-$255K median who will inspect thoroughly before committing
Probably not for
- Buyers who want newer, uniform construction and predictable per-square-foot pricing
- Anyone unwilling to underwrite an older home's roof, systems, and permit history
- Buyers needing turnkey move-in condition with no appetite for variability between homes
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

The Sulphur Springs Addition buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sulphur Springs Addition 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 Sulphur Springs Addition.
An old core with new pieces
The defining feature is age and variety. A median build year of 1956 across roughly 2,917 homes, with construction dates running back to 1900 and forward to 2024, means you should underwrite each property on its own terms. Systems, roof, and prior renovation history will swing value far more than the neighborhood average, and the $247-per-square-foot median masks that range rather than describing any one house.
That homestead share below 40% signals a market where a large slice of homes are not owner-occupied. Practically, that widens the pool of rental and investment product and can mean more variation in upkeep from house to house. It also means comparable sales need reading carefully — an as-is investor flip and a fully updated owner sale are not the same trade even at a similar square footage.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sulphur Springs Addition. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

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 (7.3). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +1059% since 2012; Owner Commitment 40% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 97.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a neighborhood this mixed by age and condition, the median tells you almost nothing about the house in front of you. We price and evaluate one property at a time — reading roof, systems, permit history, and renovation status against the right comparables, not the block-wide average. That is the difference between paying for a home's condition and paying for its ZIP code.
