St. Petersburg — the Sunshine City — sits on the west shore of Tampa Bay, about 25 miles southwest of Tampa. It has one of the most walkable downtowns in Florida, a waterfront that runs for miles, and a mix of historic homes, condos, and new construction that draws buyers from across the country.
Dylan serves buyers and sellers across the bay in St. Pete. Whether you are looking for a historic bungalow, a downtown condo, or a waterfront home, he brings the same local knowledge and honest advice he gives his Tampa clients — and he is only a bridge away.
The St. Petersburg Housing Market
No single published median sale price for St. Petersburg is reliable enough to quote here. Prices vary widely — from downtown condos to waterfront estates — and the published numbers mix them all together. Before you make an offer, or set a listing price, you need current, comparable sales for the type of home you are actually buying or selling.
That is exactly what Dylan does for his clients. Call or text 813-614-1960 and he will pull the latest sales for the neighborhood and price range you care about, and walk you through what the numbers mean for your move.
