What’s Going On in Tampa Bay’s Residential Market?
The short answer? A whole lot. The Tampa Bay area is poppin’ in 2025. Between an influx of new residents, rising home values, and a hunger for custom homes and additions, this is prime time for residential development.
And while national developers may have flashy budgets, it’s trusted local teams like The Kidwell Group, Renn Properties that are making a real difference—project by project, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Rebuilding in Tarpon Springs: Stronger Homes After the Storm

We’re proud to be finishing up multiple storm-damage rebuilds in the Tarpon Springs area—homes that are coming back stronger, smarter, and more resilient than ever.
Highlights from the Tarpon Springs rebuild projects:
- Complete structural reinforcements
- Hurricane-rated roofing and impact windows
- Updated interiors with modern finishes
- Upgraded energy-efficient systems
We believe in building back better—not just restoring homes, but improving them for the future.
Making Room in Clearwater: A Custom Addition That Delivers
In nearby Clearwater, Renn Properties is putting the final touches on a custom room addition designed to give a growing family more flexibility and breathing room.
This project blends seamlessly with the home’s original design while adding functional square footage that enhances how the space is used day-to-day.
Features of the Clearwater room addition:
- Open concept layout with natural light in mind
- Premium materials and finishes to match the existing home
- Enhanced HVAC and electrical systems for energy efficiency
- Designed for multi-purpose use: office, guest room, or play space
It’s a clear example of how investing in your current home can yield major lifestyle (and financial) returns.
