2.0 miles away, $395k became $640k.
14705 Penguin Pl, Tampa 33625 · Active · September 9, 2026
14705 Penguin Pl, Tampa is asking $383,000: 4 bed, 3 bath, 2,520 sf, built 1979, on 0.21 acres. 1.96 miles away, 8443 Ridgebrook Cir was bought for $395,000 in Jun 2025 and sold for $640,000 in Apr 2026, 160 days later: 1.62× on the recorded deeds. Built 1993 against this one’s 1979, 2,114 sf against this one’s 2,520. The photos show a dated interior, and that is the point: the work is where the margin lives. It has already come down $33k and has been on the market 57 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: 8443 Ridgebrook Cir bought $395,000 (Jun 2025), sold $640,000 (Apr 2026), 160 days held, 1.62× — from the county record, 1.96 mi from this house.
- Asking $242 per square foot; closings within 63 mi ran $316 per foot, so the ask sits under what the street has paid for finished homes.
- 57 days on market, one price cut already ($33k): 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: dated value-core raw; photo-verified 2026-08-30.
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 Tampa and Hillsborough County.
