St. Petersburg, FL Realtor: Heather Stotts
Licensed Florida broker with 11 years of experience. St. Pete is a city of neighborhoods, and the right agent knows how much price and insurance can change from one block to the next.
The St. Petersburg market, in plain English
- St. Petersburg runs from a busy downtown and waterfront to historic neighborhoods, bungalows, mid century homes and condos.
- Popular areas include Old Northeast, Historic Kenwood, Crescent Lake, Snell Isle, Shore Acres and the neighborhoods off 4th Street and Central Avenue.
- Low lying neighborhoods were hit hard by storm surge during the 2024 hurricane season, so flood history, elevation and repairs are big questions for buyers.
- For damaged homes in flood zones, the FEMA 50 percent rule can affect how a home can be repaired or rebuilt, which affects value.

Yes. You can list it with repairs documented, sell it as is, or take a cash offer. Heather will show you the likely net from each option.
What is the FEMA 50 percent rule?
In flood zones, if repair costs on a damaged home reach 50 percent of the structure's value, the home may have to be brought up to current flood rules, which can mean elevating it. Check with the city building department for the exact property.
