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, 0.81 mi from this house.
- Asking $344 per square foot; closings within 5.1 mi ran $330 per foot, so the ask sits 4% over what the street has paid for finished homes.
- 43 days on market: 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 value-core raw; photo-verified 2026-09-08.
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: The ugliest house on the best street is the best deal on the street.. More in St Petersburg and Pinellas County.
