Apollo Beach Real Estate Market Update

Last updated: September 8, 2026. I refresh this page weekly. The headline numbers come straight out of Stellar MLS, which is where the actual sales live. The public sites are underneath for comparison. Every figure is labeled with where it came from and what period it covers.

Apollo Beach, the last 30 days

Source: Stellar MLS, pulled September 8, 2026. Closings from August 10 through September 8, 2026. All residential.

• 66 homes closed in the last 30 days
• Median sale price $468,700 (average $519,089 — the average is pulled up by the high end, so the median is the number to watch)
• Sellers got 98.8% of asking, at the median
• Median 82 days on market before going under contract
• 363 homes active right now, median asking $475,000
• 61 under contract, median asking $545,000
• About 5.5 months of supply — active listings divided by the last 30 days of closings

Waterfront, the same 30 days

Source: Stellar MLS, pulled September 8, 2026. Same window, filtered to waterfront. This is the cut nobody else publishes, and it does not behave like the rest of the market.

• 11 waterfront homes closed
• Median sale price $795,000 (average $916,364)
• Sellers got 96.8% of asking, at the median
• Median 62 days on market
• 104 waterfront homes active, median asking $926,000
• 12 under contract
• About 9.5 months of supply

What those two tables actually tell you

Three things jump out, and they are the reason a city-wide median is close to useless if you are shopping on the water.

Waterfront runs about $326,000 above the overall median. $795,000 against $468,700. When you read that Apollo Beach is a $468K market, that is not the market you are shopping in if you want a dock.

Waterfront sells faster but negotiates harder. 62 days against 82 for everything else — but at 96.8% of asking instead of 98.8%. The right waterfront home moves. It just usually moves for less than the sticker.

There is nearly twice the supply on the water. Around 9.5 months against 5.5. More choice, more time, and more room to negotiate than the overall market suggests.

What the public sites are showing

For comparison, here is what the portals say. Note how each one lands somewhere different.

• Redfin, three months ending June 2026: median sale price $477,868, up 2.7% year over year. 69 median days on market. 244 homes sold. 97.4% of list, with 8.8% going above list.
• Homes.com, as of September 8, 2026: median list price $514,990, median sale price $495,000 (up 6% year over year), 553 active, about 5 months of supply.

They do not match each other, and neither matches my MLS pull. That is not anyone being wrong. A median list price counts what sellers are asking today. A median sale price counts what buyers actually paid, usually over a trailing three-month window that is already weeks old by the time you read it. Portals also draw their boundaries differently than the MLS does.

So use any of these for direction, not for the value of an address.

What this means if you are buying

Five and a half months of supply, homes closing under asking, and a median 82 days to go under contract. That is not a market where you waive everything and hope. There is room to ask — for repairs, for closing costs, for a rate buydown on a home that has been sitting.

If you are shopping waterfront, you have more room still. Nearly ten months of supply and a median 96.8% of asking says the leverage is real. Take the time to check the things that actually change the cost of owning it: elevation and flood insurance first, then the low tide draft in the canal, then bridge clearance and the lift capacity for the boat you actually want.

And remember the payment is not just the price. CDD and HOA, flood insurance and taxes can make two similarly priced homes cost very different amounts every month.

What this means if you are selling

At 98.8% of asking, pricing is doing almost all of the work. Price it right and it sells. Price it on hope and it collects days on market, and then it sells for less than it would have.

Worth knowing: in the same pull, the listings that expired without selling had sat on the market a median of 186 days — more than twice as long as the ones that closed. Those are not homes nobody wanted. Those are homes that spent half a year at the wrong price.

If you are on the water, the 96.8% number is your planning number, not the 98.8%. Get the seawall, the dock and the lift sorted before you go live rather than during an inspection period. Here is how I approach a waterfront listing.

What the numbers still do not show

Even my own MLS pull is a city-wide picture. It cannot tell you that one canal is moving and the next one over is not, or that a community with builder inventory nearby is competing with incentives no resale can match, or which of those 363 active listings are actually priced to sell. That part is not in any report. That part is the job.

Ask me about your address, not the median

If you want to know what your home is worth, or whether a house you are watching is priced right, call me. I will pull the real comparable sales for that street and that community, not a city-wide average.
