The Hillsborough County housing market in May 2026
Prices in Hillsborough County held steady at a median of $405,000 in May 2026, within 1.2% of a year earlier. Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $424,900, and sold for a median of $229 per square foot. The average sale closed at 97.7% of asking price, a sign that buyers are negotiating; just 17% of homes sold above list.
There were 5,692 homes for sale at the end of May, down 23% from a year earlier, or 3.1 months of supply, still on the sellers' side. The typical home that sold had been listed for 44 days, 7 days longer than a year earlier. 30% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 15% fewer homes and sales were down 1%.
Price cuts are common: 40% of listings were reduced in May 2026. An FSBO owner who has not cut yet may be priced above the market.
For FSBO outreach, this means owners who price well still sell on their own, while those who overprice start to sit, and they are the ones most open to help. The trend to watch: fewer homes for sale than a year ago and slower sales than last year.

When Hillsborough County homeowners list
Listings follow a clear seasonal cycle in Hillsborough County. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in April and May, with April running about 21% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 36% below it. Homes that sold in June had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 30 days), and those that sold in February the most (about 54 days).
Have your list, scripts and mail pieces ready by March, so you reach new FSBO owners in their first weeks. Sales are slowest around February, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.

Working Hillsborough County FSBO leads
- Follow the price cuts. When 40% of listings are being reduced, an FSBO owner who cuts is showing motivation; follow up soon after any change in the asking price.
- Use the 44-day mark. Half of the Hillsborough County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 44 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Split the list by city. Tampa (median $445,000) and Plant City (median $344,605) sit 29% apart on price, and Tampa also had the most sales in May 2026 (561), so one script will not fit every owner.
- Bring the numbers. On a $405,000 home, each 1% of commission is about $4,050, the money most FSBO owners are trying to keep, so a net-sheet comparison lands better than a pitch.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Hillsborough County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
