Median days on market

Inverness sits on a chain of lakes in the middle of Citrus County, and life here bends toward the water — fishing, kayaking, and slow afternoons on the Withlacoochee State Trail that runs right through town. It's a genuinely small-town Florida address, where a good chunk of the market is waterfront homes and quiet inland neighborhoods rather than resort sprawl. You're about 73 minutes from downtown Orlando, so this is a place you choose for calm, not commuting.

For buyers, the numbers are refreshingly grounded: the median list price is $259,000 and homes sell at around 96% of asking, so there's room to negotiate without a bidding-war frenzy. With 187 active listings and a median 45 days on market, you have time to be choosy, and plenty of single-family homes fall under the $200K mark if you browse by price. Keep an eye on the just reduced list too, since a 45-day median means sellers are often willing to move.

Inverness is in Citrus County, Florida.

Inverness real estate FAQs

Is Inverness a good place to live?+

It's a small lakeside town built around the Withlacoochee Trail and a chain of lakes, which makes it popular with people who want outdoor life over city bustle. Assigned schools include Citrus High, Inverness Middle, and Hernando Elementary. Just know that Orlando is roughly 73 minutes away, so this suits buyers who don't need a daily big-city commute.

Is Inverness expensive?+

Compared to most of Florida, no — the median list price is $259,000 and homes run about $197 per square foot. Active listings range from $59,222 all the way up to $1,299,000, but only two are above $1M, so the bulk of the market is genuinely affordable. Many single-family homes list under $200,000.

What do homes cost in Inverness?+

The median list price is $259,000 and the median home is about 1,425 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 572 homes sold at a median price of $244,950, so listing and selling prices are closely aligned. For water access, the 34 waterfront homes on the market span a wide range.

How is the Inverness housing market right now?+

It's a balanced, buyer-friendly market — 187 active listings, a median 45 days on market, and sellers netting about 96% of asking. That combination means you can take your time and negotiate. Checking the open houses this week is a good way to gauge how individual homes are priced.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+

Most of Inverness is not heavily HOA-driven, but where fees apply the median HOA runs about $281 per month. The median property tax is a modest $1,995 per year, and median rent sits around $1,600 per month. Gated options are limited, with just 10 active listings in gated communities.
