1714 Mulberry Drive, Tampa is asking $144,900: 2 bed, 1 bath, 828 sf, built 1936, on 0.14 acres. 1.85 miles away, 5003 N 12th St was bought for $125,000 and sold for $229,000 in Apr 2025, 40 days later: 1.83× on the recorded deeds. Same era (1941 and 1936), 672 sf against this one’s 828. The photos show a dated interior, and that is the point: the work is where the margin lives. It has been on the market 52 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: 5003 N 12th St bought $125,000, sold $229,000 (Apr 2025), 40 days held, 1.83× — from the county record, 1.85 mi from this house.
- Same street, second receipt: 1724 Mulberry Drive bought $135,000, sold $265,000 (1.96×).
- Asking $281 per square foot; closings within 36.7 mi ran $237 per foot, so the ask sits 19% over what the street has paid for finished homes.
- 52 days on market: 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; photo-verified 2026-09-11.
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. 108 of them, with cash.. More in Tampa and Hillsborough County.
