Tampa Bay Home Prices: 30 Years of Growth and Resilience

Over the past 30 years, the Tampa Bay housing market has been on quite the journey. From steady growth in the '90s to the wild ride of the 2000s boom and bust, and finally, to the robust recovery and appreciation of today, Tampa Bay has proven itself as a dynamic and resilient market.

At My Tampa Agent, we’ve been part of this incredible story for nearly two decades, working alongside buyers and sellers to help them achieve their goals. Through the ups and downs, our commitment to your success has never wavered. Let’s take a look back at where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we’re headed.

Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Tampa Bay’s housing market was stable—no big surges or dips, just steady, reliable growth. Those were simpler times, setting the stage for what would eventually become a rollercoaster ride in the 2000s.

Then came the housing boom of the early 2000s, where prices shot up fast and furious. Tampa Bay became one of the hottest markets in the country. But what goes up often comes down, and the 2008 financial crisis hit the region hard.

It was a tough time, but My Tampa Agent was there, helping clients navigate these challenges with a focus on resilience and smart decision-making.

By 2013, signs of recovery began to emerge. Sellers started to see small profits again by 2015, and by 2019, median home prices had climbed to $244,900—up a whopping 61.6% from the lows of 2009.

At My Tampa Agent, we’ve been proud to play a role in this recovery. Whether it was helping sellers rebuild equity or guiding first-time buyers through the process, our commitment to your success has been the driving force behind everything we do.
