Join Gromadzki Real Estate — the 100% commission real estate brokerage serving St. Petersburg, Florida agents. Keep every dollar you earn with flat fees, full broker support, and tech built for the modern agent.
St. Petersburg is one of Florida's most exciting urban renaissance stories — a city that has transformed over the last decade from a quiet retirement community into a vibrant, walkable, arts-and-restaurant-driven downtown that attracts younger professionals, remote workers, and second-home buyers in addition to the traditional retiree base.
The market spans Old Northeast historic walkable neighborhoods, downtown urban condo high-rises, beach-community Pass-a-Grille and St. Pete Beach, and the established mainland neighborhoods of Snell Isle and Shore Acres. The mix of urban energy and Gulf Coast access has driven steady appreciation across price tiers.
St. Petersburg's single-family median reached $480,000 in mid-2026 (Florida Realtors/Stellar MLS via STAR, June 2026) — roughly $14,400 gross on a 3% side. A 25% split takes $3,600 of that per closing; Gromadzki takes $499 flat. In a market where high-and-dry homes draw bidding wars and flood-history homes take patient, marketing-heavy work, keeping your full commission on the deals that do close matters.
St. Petersburg's real estate market spans distinct neighborhoods, each with its own buyer profile and price tier. Our agents work all of them.
Historic walkable neighborhood — bungalows and craftsman homes.
Established mainland luxury with intracoastal access.
Walkable urban condo district with restaurant and arts scene.
Established mainland family neighborhood.
Barrier-island beach community with second-home appeal.
Newer urban neighborhood with growing momentum.
Urban downtown condo specialists, historic district agents, beach-community specialists, Northeast/Midwest relocation agents, and remote-work-relocator agents.
St. Pete's urban renaissance has accelerated transaction velocity across price points. Multi-tier agents closing 12–18 deals per year typically save $18K–$28K annually under a flat-fee structure.

St. Pete has quietly re-tightened. After 2025 pushed inventory to a roughly ten-year high in the wake of the 2024 hurricanes, single-family supply fell back to 3.5 months by June 2026 (down 28.6% year over year), with the Pinellas County single-family median at $480,000, up 5.5%, and homes going to contract in a median 29 days (Florida Realtors/Stellar MLS via STAR, June 2026). Sellers are again getting 96.1% of original list, up from 94.2% a year earlier.
One honest data note agents should know: city-level median figures diverge widely — Redfin, Realtor.com, and Houzeo have shown anywhere from ~$400K to ~$466K in recent windows because St. Pete's property mix (downtown luxury towers vs. flood-affected bungalows) swings the median month to month. County single-family data is the reliable anchor. The condo side is a separate market entirely: 7.0 months of supply, a buyer's market, with older coastal buildings under the most pressure.
Hurricanes Helene and Milton (fall 2024) permanently changed how this market prices risk. In mid-2026 St. Pete runs on a hard two-tier split: high-and-dry and newly elevated homes see strong demand and occasional bidding wars, while flood-history properties sit significantly longer and trade at real discounts. In Shore Acres — the most flood-damaged neighborhood, canal-front and in a FEMA AE zone — 36 single-family homes sold below $400K in the five months after Milton, many bought between 2000 and 2024 (local reporting, early 2025).
The flip side is opportunity. A wave of elevated infill rebuilds and energy-efficient new construction is moving through the flood-affected neighborhoods, and lower insurance costs are now an active selling point — because insurance is the deal variable: FEMA AE-zone properties in Shore Acres and Riviera Bay can carry $4,000–$8,000/yr in flood premiums (Latent Insurance St. Pete guide, 2026). Agents who can read a flood zone, an elevation certificate, and a FEMA grant status are the ones closing in these neighborhoods; agents who can't, avoid them entirely.
St. Pete's condo market is majority cash — 58.9% of condo closings versus 28.5% of single-family (STAR, June 2026) — and it's driven by retirees, second-home buyers, and investors who want walkable, low-maintenance, waterfront living. The downtown core keeps delivering high-end product: The Residences at 400 Central (a 46-story tower) and projects like Art House are closing luxury units big enough to swing the countywide condo median on their own.
But older coastal condos carry the same triple headwind hitting all of Florida — insurance costs, post-Surfside structural reserve and milestone requirements, and rising HOA fees. That's why the county condo median can print double-digit gains from luxury-tower closings while a 1980s beach building down the road cuts price and sits. Investors, meanwhile, are active in the flood-damaged stock, buying for land value and elevated rebuilds. Reading which condo story you're in is the core skill here.
St. Petersburg agents belong to the Suncoast Tampa Association of REALTORS® (STAR) — formerly the Pinellas REALTOR Organization, now 25,000+ members across Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough — and list through Stellar MLS. Because Stellar spans Tampa Bay and Central Florida, one membership lets a St. Pete agent work Gulfport, downtown Tampa, and the Pinellas beaches on the same license and the same MLS.
The economics: a St. Pete agent closing 10 single-family sides a year at the $480K county median grosses about $144,000 at 3% per side. A 25% split brokerage keeps $36,000 of that; a 20% split, $28,800. At Gromadzki, those ten closings cost $4,990 flat — roughly $24,000–$31,000 more stays with the agent. In a market where the winning deals require genuine flood-zone and insurance expertise, that's income earned by skill that a percentage split quietly taxes away.
