🏡 PINELLAS COUNTY MARKET UPDATE — SEPTEMBER 2026

Here’s an interesting look at what’s happening with single-family homes in Pinellas County.

There are currently 326 single-family homes for sale with a pool, at least a two-car garage, 3+ bedrooms, 2+ bathrooms, and priced under $1 million.

Compare that with the same period in 2025, when there were 247 homes meeting those criteria.

That represents an inventory increase of approximately 32% in just one year — a significant jump in the number of homes buyers have to choose from.

So, what does that mean for the market?

Despite the increase in inventory, Pinellas County’s single-family housing market is currently running at approximately a 3.5- to 4-month supply of inventory.

Traditionally, that would put us close to a balanced market, with conditions still leaning slightly toward sellers.

However, there’s another important factor to consider: buyer demand is softer than we would normally expect. That means sellers need to be realistic about pricing, presentation, and competition. Simply putting a home on the market doesn’t guarantee a quick sale.

For buyers, increased inventory can mean more choices and potentially greater negotiating power.

For sellers, understanding how your specific home compares with the competition is more important than ever.

Whether you're considering selling your home, purchasing a new property, or adding another property to your investment portfolio, I’d be happy to assist.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It's a great time to invest or make that move!

Looking back at these moments helps me reflect on my Civic responsibilities. A clean beach not only helps the environment, it also helps our economic environment. Florida is reliant on a healthy ecosystem. As a founding board member of our local Surfrider chapter I need to get back to my roots. This was a great moment.

I'm still your realtor. Market in Florida will get expensive again if the voters pass the real estate reduction legislation. We may very well see a little boom. If you're thinking about buying, now is the time. You can always refinance for lower rates later. I am your buyers agent.

I'd like extend congratulations to my friend John and his wife Marcia. We were able to close his home in Seminole. Full cash offer! We came out of the gate with a perfect price point and after assessing key points that helped the sale, we were able to put together a winning strategy!

We hope the new buyers are able to make many amazing memories and wish the best to John and his family on his new endeavor. 🙏
