19409 Melody Fair Place, Lutz is asking $434,900: 3 bed, 2 bath, 1,942 sf, built 1998, on 0.12 acres. 0.41 miles away, 19106 Abercorn Pl was bought for $390,400 and sold for $545,000 in Dec 2025, 135 days later: 1.4× on the recorded deeds. Same era (1997 and 1998), nearly the same size (1,739 sf against 1,942). The photos show a partly updated house: some of the work is done, the rest is the opportunity. It has already come down $55k and has been on the market 56 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: 19106 Abercorn Pl bought $390,400, sold $545,000 (Dec 2025), 135 days held, 1.4× — from the county record, 0.41 mi from this house.
- Asking $234 per square foot; closings within 13.2 mi ran $179 per foot, so the ask sits 31% over what the street has paid for finished homes.
- 56 days on market, one price cut already ($55k): this seller is negotiable.
- Flood zone X: outside the special flood hazard area, which keeps the insurance quote sane.
- Condition read from the listing photos: mixed; photo-verified 2026-08-18.
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.
- A written insurance quote before the offer, even in zone X.
The play behind this home: Your dated kitchen has fans. 113 of them, with cash.. More in Lutz and Hillsborough County.
