Home affordability rating is not accurate. User Rating 2.5 rating By Anonymous ( Nov 13, 2023) I'm very familiar with the Gulf Coast communities around Tampa and St. Pete.

I saw ...Read More your rating and immediately assumed it was erroneous. After checking home prices on Realtor.com - my suspicions were confirmed. I found only 1 listing that matched your home price estimate of $99,500. Most of what I saw suggested that the real median price is at least $50,000 higher - if not more.
