Here is a more specific breakdown by year of the average residential sales price in Clearwater:

When reviewing this data, you can see that it isn’t until recently that Clearwater has reached similar sales prices as there were in 2008.
Other Pinellas Cities such as Seminole, and St Petersburg have recovered faster and grown beyond their 2008 numbers.
For example: Seminole 2008 was – $202,135 and Seminole 2018 is – $243,641 for average residential sales price.
St Petersburg 2008 was – $191,459 and St Petersburg 2018 is – $279,612 for average residential sales price.
You might be wondering what’s the big difference that drove growth? Both Seminole and St Petersburg are cities that have had major developments respectively drive their local economies. Seminole is a small city and didn’t need much, but with the introduction of the outdoor mall Seminole City Center, there’s much more demand in the Seminole market.
St Petersburg is also rapidly expanding, capitalizing on it’s water-side, keeping it local vibe. We’ve had many people describe St Pete feeling like a city that would be in Europe. High rise condos are still being constructed, downtown is expanding and all eyes are on the limited amount of real estate in the surrounding areas.
