Median days on market
Alachua sits in the rolling north end of Alachua County, a walkable historic main street backed by the kind of oak-shaded neighborhoods that draw families and University of Florida commuters alike. The market here leans heavily toward single-family homes, with a steady stream of new construction filling in newer subdivisions like Kirkland Farms and Savannah Station. It's a place where you can still find room to spread out without giving up an easy drive to Gainesville.
Right now there are 150 active listings with a median list price of $345,025, and homes are taking a median of 64 days to sell — enough breathing room to negotiate without the frenzy of a hot market. Over the last year 384 homes changed hands at a median of $330,000, with sellers collecting about 98% of their asking price. Buyers watching their budget should keep an eye on the just reduced listings and browse by price, since the range runs all the way from $149,900 up to nearly $2 million.
