University Square Unit 1
Homes for Sale in Temple Terrace, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Price here is driven by condition and vintage, not by a tidy modern floor plan. With a median build year of 1969 and a stock that stretches from 1910 all the way to 2024, two homes on the same street can trade for very different numbers depending on what's been updated. The median sits at $222,500, and at roughly $150 per square foot on a median of about 1,747 living square feet, this is priced well below much of the Tampa Bay metro.
The current posture is fast but softer than a year ago. Median days on market is just 8, so well-prepared listings move quickly, yet prices are down 12.1% year over year. That combination favors a prepared buyer: you can act decisively without the frenzy of a rising market, while sellers need to price to the current reality rather than last year's comps. One caveat on the tempo read — only 4 closings sit in this window, so treat the speed and the price swing as directional, not precise.

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($222K) is down 12.1% from the prior 12 months ($253K). With about 2 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Stellar MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending July 13. Confidence: Low (4 and 3 sales in the two windows).

Best for

- Renovation-minded buyers comfortable weighing updates, roof, and systems into their offer
- Long-hold owner-occupants who value an established, stable street over new construction
Probably not for

- Shoppers who want a large modern footprint well beyond the roughly 1,747-sqft median
- Investors who need deep, uniform comp data to model a quick flip with confidence
The University Square Unit 1 buying strategy.
If we were buying in University Square Unit 1 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 University Square Unit 1.
A condition-driven market, not a spec market
When a neighborhood's homes range from 1910 to 2024 with a median around 1969, the median price tells you less than usual. Expect a wide spread underneath that $222,500 figure: original mid-century houses, gut renovations, and a handful of newer builds all live here. Read each home on its own merits — roof, systems, and updates matter far more than the headline number.
Just under 60% of homes carry a homestead exemption, which points to a core of owner-occupants rather than a block dominated by short-term turnover. For a buyer, that stability is a plus; for a seller, it means comparable sales can be thin and uneven, which is exactly why pricing off recent, condition-matched activity beats pricing off a neighborhood average.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in University Square Unit 1. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (5.1). Basis: Recent Direction -12.1% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 59% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 94.4% sale-to-list.

Why work with Momentum here
In a market this condition-sensitive and this thinly traded, the average price does not price a specific house. We underwrite each home against the updates it actually has, factor in the 12.1% year-over-year move, and help you set an offer or a list price that reflects the real comps rather than the headline median. With a fast 8-day median, we also make sure you're ready to move before the right listing appears.
