What do the May 2019 numbers say about our South Tampa real estate market?

First of all, there were 150 home sales, which is roughly the same as last year but a 20% increase compared to the 126 that sold last April. The median sales price was $495,000, which is a 3.8% decrease compared to last April.

There were 169 new listings that came on the market, which is an 8% decrease compared to the 184 new listings April had, but a whopping 18% decrease compared to May 2018.

Since we have slightly less than four months of inventory, we’re technically still in a seller’s market. However, the higher you go up in price range, the more conditions favor buyers. The average days on market, meanwhile, was 60 days, which is very similar to the 58-day average we saw in April.
