The Hillsborough market right now

The median single-family home in Hillsborough sold for $419,900 in August 2026, with a median of 35 days to contract, 10% faster than a year earlier. That’s a healthy market for clean houses. It’s a hard one for a house with a sinkhole history, a lien stack or an estate that hasn’t cleared probate.

Selling with code violations or liens in Hillsborough

In unincorporated Hillsborough, Code Enforcement brings cases before either the Code Enforcement Board or a Code Enforcement Special Magistrate (monthly hearings at the Brandon Regional Service Center). Tampa, Plant City and Temple Terrace handle their own. A recorded fine order is a lien on the property and the owner’s other real estate (Fla. Stat. 162.09), though it can’t be foreclosed on a homestead.

Hillsborough is one of the few counties with a published lien settlement process. Once the property is in compliance, the owner (or a buyer) emails a notarized application to the Lien Settlement Team, gets an offer in about 7 to 10 business days, pays it within 30 days, and the county records a release. As the buyer, we can bring the property into compliance and file that application ourselves, so the reduction goes to the closing, not into your wallet first.

Facing foreclosure in Hillsborough

Clerk of Circuit Court & Comptroller Victor D. Crist runs foreclosure sales online at hillsborough.realforeclose.com. Florida sets the sale 20 to 35 days after final judgment, with title passing about ten days after the auction (Fla. Stat. 45.031). If you have equity, selling before that date keeps it with you instead of the high bidder.

Inherited a house in Hillsborough

Hillsborough is its own judicial circuit, the 13th, and its probate cases run through the Clerk’s Probate, Guardianship and Trust division. Smaller or older estates may use summary administration (Fla. Stat. 735.201). We’ll buy from the estate as soon as the personal representative has authority to sell.

Sinkholes

Hillsborough sits on limestone karst, and parts of the county (Plant City especially) have a documented sinkhole history; the Florida Geological Survey surveyed a swarm of sinkholes there after the January 2010 freeze. A house with a sinkhole claim, a repaired foundation or a geotechnical report on file is hard to finance. We buy them, and we read the engineering reports ourselves rather than walking away from them.

What we buy and how it works

What we buy. All residential and commercial property: single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings), mobile homes on land you own (not in land-lease parks), vacant lots and land, and commercial property (retail, office, industrial and mixed-use), as-is, in any condition. That includes the hard ones: code violations and liens, foreclosure, probate and inherited property, hostile holdover occupants, hoarder houses, and sinkhole, storm or flood damage.

How it works. 1) Tell us about the property online or call (786) 753-8500. 2) We look at it with you, in person or by video, and make a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours. 3) You pick the closing date: as soon as 7 days, or later if you need time. We pay the standard seller closing costs, and you pay no commissions. We buy directly; in some sales we close alongside a partner investor, but you sign one contract with us and get one closing date either way.
