$200K-$250K Tampa Homes Still the Most Popular

Ever since we started looking at the most popular Tampa home price ranges in the past few years, we have been noticing that the $ 200,000 to $ 249,999 Tampa homes are still the most popular among Tampa home buyers, based on the Market Report feature of My Florida Regional Multiple Listing Service.

Over the first 6 months of 2016, from Jan 1, 2016 to June 30, 2016, in each of the Tampa Bay counties of Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco, the $ 200,000 to $ 249,999 home price range was the most popular among 23 price ranges, from $ 29,999 & under to $ 1,000,000 & over, based on number of single-family homes sold within this 6-month period.
