“Realtor for us was Jen Tobey. She came to initial meeting prepared and educated. She is professional & and market knowledgeable. We signed up with her. She showed the home several times and gave us good feedback. When the house was sold the process went smoothly, even though it was a probate sale. All of my phone calls, emails and text messages were immediately answered. What a pleasure working with her after dealing with courts, judges, banks, lawyers, financial advisors, retailers, inspectors and roofers to name a few. We also had a wonderful title company handle the closing.”

February’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the city to be $267,500—up 0.94% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, county-level data pegged home values at $303,000 in Alachua County for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $313,250 in March.
Gainesville had 188 new listings and 122 listings that went under contract in February, increasing the area’s total available inventory to 463—up 11.03% from the previous month. Inventory is projected to have further increased in March.
Of those 463 active listings, 24.62% reduced their price in the month of February. The median listing price for homes in Gainesville fell 13.35% from January to February, bringing the current median listing price to $259,000. Based on projected data for March, listing prices may continue to fall.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract fell year-over-year. In February 2026, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 83 days, compared to 99 days in February 2025. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be decreasing. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this March.

Learn more about what Gainesville has to offer.
Gainesville offers residents a welcoming, vibrant community with top universities, a thriving arts scene, abundant outdoor recreation, and a thoughtful mix of local businesses that support everyday life.
Gainesville stands apart from nearby Ocala and Jacksonville with a rare blend of major university town energy and an easygoing, deeply local feel. Home to the University of Florida, the city draws people from across the country, yet still feels accessible and close knit, whether you are grabbing coffee downtown or cheering on game day.
Residents enjoy a strong network of parks, trails, and cultural spots. The Sweetwater Wetlands Park boardwalks, Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park vistas, and the trails that link into Alachua County give outdoor lovers plenty of room to explore. Families often point to the Alachua County Public Schools system and the resources at the Alachua County Library District as anchors for daily life.
Neighborhoods close to the university feature historic homes and mature trees, while newer communities on the west and northwest sides offer contemporary layouts, neighborhood pools, and quick access to retail and healthcare. Dining spans long loved local institutions to creative spots around Midtown and the Innovation District.
In Gainesville, market conditions can shift with university schedules, new construction, and demand from both long term residents and first time buyers. Whether you are preparing to list your home or timing a move into the area, having the right guidance matters.
