Why this one could follow
- The receipt: 500 40th Ave N, St Petersburg, Fl 33703 bought $385,000 (Jan 2025), sold $1,495,000 (Apr 2026), 442 days held, 3.88× — from the county record, 0.11 mi from this house.
- Asking $321 per square foot; closings within 6.4 mi ran $403 per foot, so the ask sits under what the street has paid for finished homes.
- 69 days on market, one price cut already ($17k): this seller is negotiable.
- Flood zone X: outside the special flood hazard area, which keeps the insurance quote sane.
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.
