Clearwater Beach had more sales even as homes took longer to sell

Real estate, Clearwater Beach, FL

The number that matters most for owners right now: the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 97 homes sold in ZIP 33767 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 27.6% from the same months a year before. Buyers were active, even with rates climbing.

Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates topped 7% for the first time since January 2025. That matters because it raises the cost of every purchase. Yet sales in Clearwater Beach still rose. Pricing and patience made the difference.

More sales, but homes sat longer

The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows the median home in 33767 took 89 days to sell. That is 14 days longer than the same period in 2025. Not every home moved quickly. About 17.6% went under contract within two weeks of listing, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. The rest took more time.

Still, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 108 pending sales in 33767 during the period. That is up 42.1% from a year before. The pipeline of buyers moving toward a deal grew even as individual homes waited longer. Those two things can both be true at once.

Price and what sellers actually received

The Real Estate Data Aggregator puts the median sale price in 33767 at $775,000 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 29.7% from the same months of 2025. Sellers received an average of 94.2% of their list price, up 0.2 points year over year. Only 2.1% of homes sold above list price, down 1.9 points.

For context, Realtor.com reported the median list price across the broader Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metro at $385,398. The Clearwater Beach median sale price of $775,000 sits well above that wider metro figure.

How the wider market looks

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.4% from August 2025 to August 2026. Clearwater Beach's 29.7% price gain ran far ahead of that national pace. Zillow reported newly pending sales fell 8.5% year over year nationally in September. Clearwater Beach pending sales moved the other way, up 42.1%, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator.

A look across nearby ZIP codes

The story varied a lot by ZIP code in the three months ending August 31, 2026. Safety Harbor (34695) had the fastest pace, with the Real Estate Data Aggregator showing a median of just 34 days on market. Indian Rocks Beach (33785) saw its median price dip 16% to $680,000, though sales rose 20.3%. ZIP 33762 had the sharpest increase in days on market, up 29 days year over year to 58 days.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator has no counts for ZIP codes 33758, 33766 and 33769. The story for those parts of the market comes from the websites alone.

What this means for you

More sales and a higher median price show buyers were still writing checks in Clearwater Beach. But 89 median days on market means pricing matters. Homes priced right sold. Others waited. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 304 homes for sale in 33767, down just 3.8% from a year before, so buyers had choices.

One street can read very differently from the whole ZIP code. A condo on one block may have sold in two weeks. A home two blocks away may have sat for four months. The numbers above are the middle of a wide range.
