On a median-priced Countryway of Newberry home ($297,000), property taxes at Alachua County’s typical millage of 16.5552 run roughly $4,089 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.

At Countryway of Newberry’s $297,000 median and Alachua County’s adopted 16.56 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,920 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,270 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Alachua County tax page.

Typical asking rent across Alachua County sits near $1,642 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 1.7% year over year.

If you’re buying in Countryway of Newberry
Come pre-approved, not pre-qualified, and be ready to move within days of a new listing.

Ask any agent you interview how their last three Countryway of Newberry buyers won.
If you’re selling in Countryway of Newberry
You have leverage, but overpricing still kills momentum — homes that sit past the median days on market start fielding lowball offers. Price at the data, prep properly, and make buyers compete in week one. Your listing agent’s first-week marketing plan matters more than their commission number.

Top listing agents vs. buyer’s agents in Countryway of Newberry
If you’re selling in Countryway of Newberry, a top listing agent’s pricing, staging, and marketing are what win top dollar — the same skills behind a strong home sale.
