How much do homes cost in Brandon, FL in 2026?
Three sources, three slightly different numbers, all pointing the same way:
| Source (as of) | Brandon figure | vs. a year ago |
|---|---|---|
| Redfin (3 months to Sep 2026) | Median sale price $359,829 | −4.0% |
| Realtor.com (Sep 2026) | Median sold price $360,000; median list $374,990 | −5.1% sold |
| Zillow Home Value Index (Sep 30, 2026) | Typical home value $353,216 | −0.4% |
These medians cover all home types — houses, townhomes and condos together. None of the three publishes a single-family-only median for Brandon on its public page, so expect detached houses to sit somewhat above these figures and townhomes below them. Redfin puts the median price per square foot at $206 (September 2026), which is the best quick yardstick: a 2,000 sq ft house at the Brandon median rate is about $412,000.
Is Brandon a buyer’s or seller’s market right now?
It is leaning toward buyers. Per Redfin for September 2026: homes took a median 44 days to sell (38 a year earlier), 284 homes sold (down 12.2%), 44.7% of listings had a price drop, and homes closed at 98.7% of list price. Redfin rates Brandon “somewhat competitive,” with the average home selling about 2% below list. Realtor.com counted 578 active listings in September, up 4.2% from a year earlier.
In plain terms: more choice, more time, and room to ask for repairs or seller credits. Well-priced, updated homes still move; tired or overpriced ones sit.

Source: Redfin neighborhood and city market pages, September 2026. Small neighborhoods sell only a handful of homes a month, so their medians can swing.
- Bloomingdale — larger homes and lots, golf-course pockets, and the highest prices of the three, at about $442,000.
- Providence Lakes — an established lakes community near the Brandon median; homes there took longer to sell in September (67 days), which can mean negotiating room.
- Heather Lakes — one of the more affordable established neighborhoods, and one of the few with a small price gain over the year.
- Central Brandon and Buckhorn — closest to Westfield Brandon, dining and Selmon access. We could not find a reliable published median for these, so we price them with recent comparable sales for each client.
What does a Brandon house really cost per month?
The price is only part of it. Budget for:
- Property tax. Brandon is unincorporated Hillsborough County. The total 2025 millage there was 18.2515 mills — about $18.25 per $1,000 of taxable value — per the Hillsborough County Property Appraiser. Your tax resets to the purchase price, so don’t rely on the seller’s bill.
- Homestead exemption. On a primary home, up to $50,000 comes off the assessed value, and yearly assessment increases are capped at 3% or inflation, whichever is lower (HCPA). File by March 1.
- Insurance. Get real quotes during your inspection period. Roof age and flood zone move the number most; see our flood zone guide.
- HOA or CDD. Many older Brandon neighborhoods have small or no HOA fees; newer ones may have both. Check the listing and the tax bill.
The down payment is often smaller than people expect: 3% down on a $360,000 home is $10,800 with a conventional loan; FHA’s 3.5% is $12,600. More in How Much Down Payment Do You Really Need.
