1.5 miles away, $345k became $635k.
218 Lookout Drive, Apollo Beach 33572 · Active · September 9, 2026
218 Lookout Drive, Apollo Beach is asking $285,000: 3 bed, 2 bath, 1,398 sf, built 1995, on 0.1 acres. 1.52 miles away, 1014 Sago Palm Way was bought for $345,000 and sold for $635,000 in Nov 2025, 311 days later: 1.84× on the recorded deeds. Built 1973 against this one’s 1995, nearly the same size (1,458 sf against 1,398). The photos show a dated interior, and that is the point: the work is where the margin lives. It has been on the market 84 days, which is where sellers start listening. I will not put a number on this one on a public page. I will put it in an email, with the closings behind it, if you ask.
Why this one could follow
- The receipt: 1014 Sago Palm Way bought $345,000, sold $635,000 (Nov 2025), 311 days held, 1.84× — from the county record, 1.52 mi from this house.
- Asking $219 per square foot; closings within 10.3 mi ran $216 per foot, so the ask sits 1% over what the street has paid for finished homes.
- 84 days on market: this seller is negotiable.
- Flood zone AE: budget the flood policy before you write.
- Condition read from the listing photos: dated; photo-verified 2026-09-09.
What I would check first
- The last three closings on this exact street, not the ZIP: I pull them from the record before any number gets written down.
- Whether the proven one was a cosmetic job or a gut: the permit history on the county record answers that.
- Roof, AC and electrical dates on the county permit record: they decide the budget more than the kitchen does.
- An insurance quote before the offer: the flood zone here makes it a real number.
The play behind this home: Your dated kitchen has fans. 113 of them, with cash.. More in Apollo Beach and Hillsborough County.
