How Hillsborough County actually trades

Typical deal size in Hillsborough County sits around $1,530,000. An average of $14,664,000 against that median means a handful of large purchases are skewing the mean. Use the median when you price, or you will aim high and lose the middle of the market.

Most capital here runs buy & hold — 69.3% of tracked activity. Hold strategies mean patient money: slower decisions, but the rent roll carries more weight than the flip math.

Typical construction year on investor-owned property is 1993. Just 26.8% was built before 1980, which keeps renovation scopes and disclosure burdens down.
