Tampa Numbers

Built on Tampa, Florida figures

A baseline for Tampa: the local median of $370,000 with 20% down, including Hillsborough County’s property tax at 1.09%. Typical Hillsborough County homeowners insurance runs about $4,070 a year at this value.

Scenario	Cash down	Loan amount	Est. total/mo
20% down	$74,000	$296,000	$2,620

Tampa's housing stock divides cleanly: pre-1960 bungalows in Hyde Park, Seminole Heights, and Ybor (real plaster, cast-iron plumbing, original pine flooring under the carpet) versus post-1985 suburban builds in Westchase and New Tampa. Older homes inside Davis Islands and Hyde Park face an extra layer of cost from historic-district review when scope touches exterior elevations.

Why insurance moves the number here: Outside HVHZ; coastal-exposure wind-load code (FBC Chapter 16) applies west of I-275. Flood-zone overlay along the Bay shoreline and Hillsborough River. Wind exposure is a large part of why a Tampa payment can differ from the same price elsewhere, so the insurance figure above is doing real work in the total.

Median value plus the county property-tax rate and county insurance figure come from public data held in this site’s own dataset. Payments use an illustrative 6.875% 30-year rate and are estimates for education only — never a quote, offer, or approval. Change any input in the calculator above to model your own scenario.

Local Insight

Understanding the Tampa Market

Tampa sits in Hillsborough County, Florida. Neighborhoods such as Hyde Park, Seminole Heights, Davis Islands, Westchase, and Ybor City each carry their own mix of home ages, price tiers, and insurance considerations that are worth understanding before you set a budget in Tampa.

A buyer planning a budget in Tampa usually starts from the area's approximate median home value of about $370,000 (a rough market benchmark, not a quote). Hillsborough County's effective property-tax rate runs near 1.09% of a home's value per year, which on a $370,000 home works out to roughly $4,033 a year, typically collected monthly through an escrow account. Florida's homestead exemption can lower that bill for a primary residence.

Homeowners insurance is the other big Florida variable: county-level estimates put a typical annual premium around $4,400 on a roughly $400,000 home in Hillsborough County, with the figure swinging up or down based on roof age, wind-mitigation features, and flood-zone exposure. For context on what local incomes look like, the area median income for a four-person household in Hillsborough County is about $90,100 per year, the benchmark many first-time-buyer and affordability programs use to set eligibility.

Taken together, the median price, Hillsborough County tax rate, and insurance outlook are what shape a realistic monthly payment in Tampa — which is why the calculator above is pre-set with this county's numbers. Adjust the inputs to match your own situation, and confirm current figures with a licensed Florida lender of your choice before making any decisions.
