Two ways to sell your Tampa house
The cash offer suits a Tampa house with storm wear, an older roof or a timeline you cannot stretch: one written price, no work, closing as early as about two weeks out. With values this high, the Retail Buyer Program often deserves a look for a house in fair condition. We agree your net first, then sell to an owner-occupant with a licensed agent and up to $15,000 in buyer credits. That takes roughly 60 days.

City of Tampa housing by the numbers
The median owner-occupied home in Tampa is valued close to half a million dollars, and more than four in ten are valued at $500,000 or more. Ownership is split almost exactly in half between owners and renters. At these prices, the gap between an as-is price and an owner-occupant price can be large, which is why we show both.
| Median value of owner-occupied homes | $494,400 |
|---|---|
| Owner homes valued at $500,000+ | 42.2% |
| Owner-occupied homes | 50.0% |
| Single-family share of housing units | 56.6% |
| Population | 414,575 |

Tampa, Temple Terrace, Plant City, and everywhere else
Hillsborough County is Florida's fourth most populous county, with 1,459,762 residents at the 2020 census, yet it has only three incorporated cities: Tampa, Temple Terrace and Plant City. More than two thirds of the county's people live in unincorporated communities such as Brandon, Riverview, Town 'n' Country, Valrico, Ruskin and Apollo Beach, which are governed by the county itself.
That matters when you sell. Inside the three cities, permits and code issues go through city hall. Everywhere else, they go through Hillsborough County. Taxes, property values, deeds and probate run through the countywide offices listed below, whichever side of a city line you are on.
How Hillsborough County runs foreclosure sales
The Hillsborough County Clerk holds foreclosure sales online, every weekday at 10:00 a.m., and anyone who registers can bid. If a house sells at auction for more than what is owed under the judgment, the leftover money becomes "surplus funds"; the owner of record when the lawsuit was filed can claim them, following Florida Statute 45.032.
A surplus claim after an auction is rarely the best outcome. A sale arranged before the auction date usually leaves you more, and on your terms. If you have received foreclosure papers, see selling a house in foreclosure.

Selling a house in Tampa: your questions
Do you buy outside the Tampa city limits?
Yes. We buy anywhere in Hillsborough County, including the unincorporated communities and the cities of Temple Terrace and Plant City. The process and the closing are the same.
My Tampa home is worth a lot. Is a cash offer still worth it?
Sometimes. The higher the value, the more an owner-occupant may pay over an as-is price, so we show you a Retail Buyer Program number too when the house qualifies. Then you decide with both in front of you.
Can I sell if a foreclosure sale is already scheduled?
Often, if the sale can close and pay off the loan before the auction. Send the case details and the sale date as early as you can.
