What the houses on one Florida street sold for
Every Florida sale is a recorded deed, and the state's sale file adds the price and whether it was a true market sale. Pull the sales for one street or subdivision, keep only arm's-length deeds of a single parcel, and read them by month. Expect few: in the year to April 2026, the typical subdivision of 50 to 70 homes saw two or three.
Where the prices come from
A deed recorded with the county clerk carries documentary stamp tax, and the price is worked back from the stamps. Each county property appraiser then reviews the sale and gives it a qualification code, and the Department of Revenue gathers them into one statewide sale file. Codes 01 and 02 are the sales the state counts as qualified, meaning arm's-length; its code list explains the rest, from family transfers to foreclosures. The roll itself keeps only each parcel's two most recent sales, so a long street history needs the sale file or the clerk's index.
How to pull one street
- Draw the edge. A street name catches every house on it, but long roads cross several neighborhoods. A recorded subdivision is usually the better unit: the houses were built as one, on lots of the same size.
- Pick the months. Twelve months is too few on most streets; three to five years gives enough sales to see a trend.
- Keep the market sales. Drop anything not coded 01 or 02, and drop deeds that carried several parcels at once, since the price covers all of them.
- Compare like with like. Note each house's size, year built and lot before reading its price. A pool or an extra bedroom moves a price more than the street does.
- Check the newest months by hand. The state's file lags, so a sale from last month may be at the clerk but not yet in the file.

Counted from the state's sale file, codes 01 and 02 only, one parcel per deed, homes coded 001 (single family). "Typical" is the median subdivision of 20 or more homes, in the 27 counties that publish a subdivision name. Of those 51,556 subdivisions, 9,010 had no qualified sale at all in the year. In a retirement county like Sumter homes change hands more than three times as often as in Miami-Dade.
Where it stops
- The file runs months behind. We stopped the count at April 2026 because the state's file thins after it: Hillsborough has 4,418 sale records in April, 3,716 in May and 181 in June. Some counties publish their own sales sooner.
- A price is not a value. A sale between relatives, out of foreclosure or with a house in poor shape can sit far from the street's level, which is what the codes are for.
- Condos are their own units. A building's units are separate parcels, often under one subdivision or condominium name; compare them by floor and size, not by street.
- Not an appraisal. A list of nearby sales is a starting point; a licensed appraiser's report is what a bank or a court relies on.

In the search, type the street in "Address has" with the city, or a name in "Subdivision has", and set the sold dates and a price range. The dates apply to each parcel's last sale; tick "Date and price over any of the last 3 sales" to reach further back. Sort the list by last sale date or price, or switch it to "By sale" to see one group per deed, which makes multi-parcel deeds stand out. Each parcel's report has its Sales table: month, price, qualified or not, book and page, and the deed's parties when the county names them. The app marks codes 01 to 06 as qualified, wider than the state's 01 and 02. From any house, "Find comps" draws a ring as small as half a mile with sales from 6 to 60 months, and exports them as a CSV. How comps work is in comps from recorded sales, and one house's own record in a Florida house's sale price history.
The clerk's recorded deed is the authority on a sale, and the county property appraiser decides each sale's qualification code. The Department of Revenue publishes the statewide file and the code list. The counts are ours, read on 1 November 2026.
