Penthouse Condo in Pinellas County Sells for $5M

Tampa Bay continues to see high demand for multi-million dollar properties. Despite the economic slowdown and global pandemic, Smith & Associates Real Estate has recorded record sales in Hillsborough and Pinellas County.

In the past two weeks, Smith & Associates recorded three sales in the past two weeks that have topped $4 million - 114 Martinique Avenue for a near record-breaking $9.1M, 5114 W. Longfellow Avenue for $4M, and 100 1st Avenue N Residence 4103 for $5.1M.

“Tampa Bay’s luxury markets have thrived in 2020. We are finding buyers are hyper-focused on finding homes offering the best lifestyle options to fit their needs. With limited ability to travel, people are sending more time at home and they are reassessing their changing needs. This has created an uptick in demand for finding homes that can be their haven from the outside world." says Bob Glaser, President & CEO of Smith & Associates. The company is the market leader for Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties combined in sales over $1M+, with 19% of the market share, as well as dominating the over $3M+ and $5M market, where the company has represented over 24% of all luxury sales in each of those segments.
