Cedar Key is a cluster of small islands off Florida's Nature Coast, a working fishing and clamming town where golf carts outnumber traffic lights and the pace is set by the tide. Life here leans toward the water — you'll find waterfront homes on stilts, weathered cottages, and homes with water views across the marsh and Gulf. It's part of quiet Levy County, far from the theme-park bustle, and that isolation is precisely the appeal.
The market here is small and slow-moving by design. With just 10 active listings and a median list price of $359,450, buyers should expect limited choice and time to think — homes sit a median of 67.5 days, and over the last year only 7 sold, at a median of $190,000. Sellers are getting about 90% of asking, so there's room to negotiate; keep an eye on anything just reduced and know your budget before you fall for a view.
Cedar Key is in Levy County, Florida.
