Cedar Key sits at the end of a causeway on Florida's Gulf coast in Levy County, a working fishing and clamming town where the pace slows the moment you cross the bridge. It's a place defined by the water — you'll find waterfront homes and stilt cottages alongside the single-family homes that make up most of what sells here, plus a handful of townhomes & condos near the heart of town.
This is a small, thin market, so patience matters. There are just 9 active listings right now, with a median list price of $425,000 spread across a wide $119,900 to $897,500 range, and homes tend to sit — the median is 138 days on market. Buyers who watch the just reduced listings and are ready to negotiate have real leverage, since sellers over the past year took about 90% of asking on average.
Cedar Key is in Levy County, Florida.

Cedar Key real estate FAQs
Is Cedar Key a good place to live?+
If you want a quiet, water-focused life away from the crowds, Cedar Key delivers — it's a genuine old-Florida fishing town, not a resort strip. The trade-off is size and services: it's remote, the market is small with just 9 active listings, and families are zoned to schools including Cedar Key High School and Chiefland Elementary in Levy County.
Is Cedar Key expensive?+
It's a mixed picture. The median list price is $425,000, but sold homes over the past year had a median of just $190,000, so what's actually trading tends to be more affordable than what's currently listed — worth checking as you browse by price.
What do homes cost in Cedar Key?+
Active listings span $119,900 to $897,500 with a median of $425,000, and prices average about $330 per square foot on a median home size of 1,414 square feet. Waterfront and stilt homes push toward the top of that range, while condos and smaller cottages anchor the lower end.
How is the Cedar Key market right now?+
It's slow and thin, which favors patient buyers. Only 7 homes sold in the last 12 months, listings sit a median of 138 days, and sellers are getting around 90% of asking — meaning there's genuine room to negotiate, especially on the just reduced properties.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA fee runs about $336 a month, which mostly applies to the condo and gated properties rather than standalone homes. Property taxes are modest, with a median of about $2,663 per year.
