What Buyers, Sellers, and Investors Need to Know Right Now
The Pinellas County housing market closed out 2025 in a very different place than where it began. Rising inventory, longer selling timelines, and shifting buyer behavior are redefining how homes are bought and sold — and the data from December 2025 makes that clear.
Here’s what the latest Compass market report reveals.
Average Sale Price – Single Family Homes: $606,000 (+0.8%)
Average Sale Price – Condos: $591,000 (+34.3%)
Average Days on Market: 77 days (+11.6%)
Months of Inventory: 4.6 months (+7%)
List-to-Sale Price Ratio: 92% (+2.2%)
Active Listings: 7,153 (+15.3%)
Pending Listings: 1,206 (+9.1%)
Sold Listings: 1,562 (+8%)
Single-family homes in Pinellas County ended December with an average sale price of $606,000, up a modest 0.8% from last year. This signals price stability after several years of rapid appreciation.
Condos, however, surged to an average sale price of $591,000, representing a dramatic 34.3% increase year-over-year. That growth reflects strong demand for walkable downtown living, waterfront properties, and lock-and-leave lifestyles — especially in areas like St. Petersburg, Clearwater Beach, and Dunedin.
The average home now spends 77 days on the market, up 11.6% from last year. Buyers are taking more time, comparing options, and negotiating more aggressively. This shift makes correct pricing and strategic marketing more important than ever.
There are now 7,153 active listings, up 15.3% year-over-year. With 4.6 months of inventory, the market has moved into a balanced environment where neither buyers nor sellers hold all the leverage.
This is good news for buyers who now have more choices — and a reminder for sellers that pricing and presentation matter more than ever.
Homes are selling at 92% of list price, meaning sellers are negotiating an average 8% discount from their original asking price. Gone are the bidding wars of the past — today’s market rewards sellers who price realistically from day one.
Despite the increase in inventory, activity remains healthy with:
1,206 homes under contract
1,562 homes sold
This confirms that well-priced, well-marketed homes are still moving — just with more strategy involved.
Sellers still have strong equity, especially condo owners, but success now depends on strategy, pricing, and presentation.
Buyers are finally gaining leverage, with more homes to choose from and room to negotiate.
Investors can find opportunities in condo-heavy areas where demand and appreciation remain strong.
