Limitations
ZIP figures are trailing three months (August to October 2026), single-family homes only, for ZIPs with at least 15 closings; county rows are October 2026 alone. ZIPs are assigned to Hillsborough when most of the ZIP lies in the county; Odessa 33556 also reaches into Pasco and Pinellas, and Lutz 33559, mainly in Pasco, is left out. Place names follow the city most often recorded in each ZIP's sales. Small ZIPs of 15 to 30 sales can swing from one quarter to the next. Above-list share compares the sale price with the original list price. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
