1.7 miles away, $246k became $445k.
2405 E 17th Ave, Tampa 33605 · Active · September 9, 2026
2405 E 17th Ave, Tampa is asking $274,900: 4 bed, 2 bath, 1,568 sf, built 1928, on 0.1 acres. 1.69 miles away, 412 E Selma Ave was bought for $246,000 and sold for $445,000 in Sep 2025, 176 days later: 1.81× on the recorded deeds. Same era (1924 and 1928), 1,196 sf against this one’s 1,568. The photos show a dated interior, and that is the point: the work is where the margin lives. It has already come down $14k 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: 412 E Selma Ave bought $246,000, sold $445,000 (Sep 2025), 176 days held, 1.81× — from the county record, 1.69 mi from this house.
- Same street, second receipt: 2604 17th Ave bought $222,600, sold $315,000 in Oct 2024 (1.42×).
- Asking $221 per square foot; closings nearby ran $289 per foot, so the ask sits under what the street has paid for finished homes.
- 57 days on market, one price cut already ($14k): 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 2026-08-04.
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.
