As someone who has called Tampa home for 17 years, I’m always watching how our city stacks up in national trends—especially when it comes to housing affordability. According to the latest data, out of 30 NFL housing markets, 28 saw improved affordability by June 2026. Seattle led the way with an impressive 11.2% boost, thanks to rising incomes and lower home prices. But what caught my eye was that Tampa was also among the cities where affordability got better. That’s welcome news for both newcomers and long-time residents looking for their next move. Of course, not every market fared as well—Milwaukee and Cleveland experienced declining affordability. Having transitioned from a career in retail to real estate, I believe that finding the right home should feel like finding the perfect fit. It’s reassuring to see our community continue to offer opportunities for buyers, and I’m always here to help you make sense of the numbers when you’re ready.
