According to Redfin's Tarpon Springs housing market page (data for June 2026):
Median sale price is down 5.9% 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 Tarpon Springs closings, not from a number you hope to see.
For context, the U.S. Census Bureau reports a 81.0% owner-occupied housing rate and a median owner-occupied home value of $340,700 for Tarpon Springs 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 Greektown Historic District, Downtown Tarpon Springs, Spring Bayou, and Craig Park. Tarpon Springs covers about 17.93 square miles, and buyers often shop by location, so Zack looks at comparable sales in your part of Tarpon Springs first, then widens the search.

Listing fee: With Zack, the listing fee is 1% plus a $400 transaction fee. On a $390,000 sale, that is $3,900 plus $400, or $4,300. 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 Pinellas 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 $390,000 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 Pinellas County states that federal flood insurance requirements are based only on the FEMA FIRM, not county flood maps. Pinellas 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 Pinellas County Property Appraiser what applies to your sale.
