Tampa median DOM hit 31 days this week — first time above 30 since March 2023, buyers now have 3+ weeks to decide

Ran my weekly Zillow scrape for Tampa zips 33604, 33610, 33612 in the $300k–$350k band. Median days-on-market this week: 31, up from 27 last week and 19 eight weeks ago. This is the first time DOM has been above 30 since March 2023.

For buyers: this is the most leverage since March 2023. My rule of thumb — if a listing has been up ≥30 days AND has had a price cut, my first offer starts at 94% of the new list price with 3% seller credit. Two of my last three buyer clients got that structure accepted since May. If DOM holds above 30 through July 29, I'm revising my baseline offer up to 95% for anything ≥21 days on market.
