1744 26th Ave N, St Petersburg 33713 · Active · September 9, 2026
1744 26th Ave N, St Petersburg is asking $370,000: 3 bed, 1 bath, 1,257 sf, built 1972, on 0.14 acres. 1.56 miles away, 2701 4th Ave N was bought for $340,000 and sold for $580,500 in May 2026, 129 days later: 1.71× on the recorded deeds. Built 1925 against this one’s 1972, 1,062 sf against this one’s 1,257. The photos show a partly updated house: some of the work is done, the rest is the opportunity. It has already come down $10k and has been on the market 44 days. 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: 2701 4th Ave N bought $340,000, sold $580,500 (May 2026), 129 days held, 1.71× — from the county record, 1.56 mi from this house.
- Same street, second receipt: 175 26th Ave N bought $942,000, sold $1,352,500 in May 2025 (1.44×).
- Asking $343 per square foot; closings within 17.7 mi ran $330 per foot, so the ask sits 4% over what the street has paid for finished homes.
- 44 days on market, one price cut already ($10k): still fresh, expect competition.
- 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.
