Proven · the plays · Seller of a dated home

Your dated kitchen has fans. 113 of them, with cash.

September 9, 2026 · from the county record, published agendas, SEC filings and licensed MLS aggregates

Cash buyers with a track record recorded 113 purchases in Hillsborough in the last 90 days, 2.6× last year’s pace, and 65 in Pinellas. They hunt in packs: Tampa 33604, Tampa 33611, Tampa 33619, paying a median $200k. Here is what the letter in your mailbox leaves out: the pros resell in about 154 days for 1.59× what they paid. That gap is the renovation, the risk, and their profit, and some of it is yours if you make them compete instead of taking the first number. Five recorded purchases below.

Are flippers buying more than last year?

Hillsborough 113 vs 43; Pinellas 65 vs 66, same 90-day window.

Sell to a flipper or list it?

Get both numbers: the cash offer, and what a retail buyer pays after light work; the pros themselves clear 1.59× in about 154 days. I run that comparison from the closed sales on your street, not from the offer letter.

Why is Pasco missing?

Pasco deed records carry no buyer names in bulk form, so repeat buyers cannot be identified there.

Sources: Hillsborough and Pinellas County recorded deeds (repeat buyers with completed resales). Homes for sale that fit this play: Proven.
