According to Redfin's Tampa housing market page (data for September 2026):
Median sale price is up 4.9% year over year. Monthly medians can swing with a handful of sales, especially in a smaller market, so treat them as a guide. Zack builds a list price from recent comparable Tampa closings, not from a number you hope to see.
For context, the U.S. Census Bureau reports a 50.3% owner-occupied housing rate and a median owner-occupied home value of $420,400 for Tampa in its 2020-2024 estimates. That is a survey-based figure across all owner-occupied homes, not a price for a specific house.
Areas buyers recognize include South Tampa, Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Seminole Heights, Westshore and New Tampa. Tampa covers about 114 square miles of land, and prices change a lot from one neighborhood to the next, so Zack looks at comparable sales in your neighborhood first, then widens the search.
384,959 residents in the 2020 census. Tampa was incorporated in 1849, and the Ybor City cigar factories that opened in 1886 helped make it a major cigar-making center.
A pricing recommendation based on comparable Tampa and nearby sales. Professional photography and a written listing description. MLS entry through Stellar MLS and syndication to the major home search sites. Showing coordination and open houses when they make sense. Offer review, negotiation and counteroffers. Coordination with the title company through contract and closing.
The 1% is the listing-side fee only. Compensation for a buyer's agent is separate and negotiable. The $400 transaction fee applies. Commissions and fees are negotiable and are not set by law.

Listing fee: With Zack, the listing fee is 1% plus a $400 transaction fee. On a $450,000 sale, that is $4,500 plus $400, or $4,900. The 1% is the listing-side fee only; compensation for a buyer's agent is separate and negotiable, and all fees are negotiable.
Documentary stamp tax: Florida charges documentary stamp tax on deeds at 70 cents per $100 of the sale price under Florida Statutes section 201.02. The statute sets the tax; the contract decides who pays it, and in most sales the seller does.
Title insurance: In Hillsborough County the seller customarily pays for the buyer's owner's title policy and often picks the closing agent. That is custom, not law, and it is negotiable in your contract.
The $450,000 figure is illustrative, not a prediction of your sale price. You also pay any mortgage payoff, prorated property taxes and any HOA or condo fees due at closing, and you may negotiate repairs. Confirm current figures with your title company before you sign.
Under the Florida Supreme Court's decision in Johnson v. Davis, a residential seller must tell the buyer about known facts that materially affect the value of the home and are not readily observable or already known to the buyer. FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps mark high-risk zones labeled A or V, and federal flood insurance requirements are based on the FEMA FIRM. Florida homestead gives a primary residence a $50,000 reduction in assessed value, and the annual increase in assessed value for homesteaded property is capped at the lower of inflation or 3%; a buyer's taxes may look different from yours after the sale. Ask your title company and the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser what applies to your sale.

Redfin reported a median sale price of $450,000, a median of 60 days on market and 1,306 homes sold in Tampa for September 2026. Individual homes vary by price, condition, flood zone and location, so a median is a guide and not a promise.
