ZIP Code Spotlight: 33611
The latest available data shows strong recent sales activity with a balanced market overall:
* Median sale price: $699,697, up 27.2% year over year
* August home sales: 216, up 43.1%
* Median time to sell: 30 days
* Sale-to-list ratio: 97.4%
* Active listings in September: 321
* Median active-listing time: 69 days
* Listings with price reductions: 38.9%
The median-price increase may partly reflect the types and price ranges of homes sold, so it should not be interpreted as identical appreciation for every property. Realtor.com classifies 33611 as a balanced market, with September sales averaging approximately 2.6% below asking. Redfin sales data and Realtor.com inventory data.
Buyer takeaway: Inventory remains healthy, and typical sales below asking may provide room to negotiate price, repairs, closing costs or a mortgage-rate buydown.
Seller takeaway: Sales activity is strong, but nearly four in ten listings have reduced their price. Correct positioning and professional presentation remain essential.
