Gainesville inventory tracker.
How many homes are on the market in the Gainesville metro right now, what's selling, and how that compares to last quarter. Months-of-supply by area, by price band, and by submarket.
The state of Gainesville inventory.
Gainesville's housing inventory has rebuilt steadily since the 2021-2022 supply crunch. The metro sits at roughly 3.7 months of supply as of Q2 2026 — still a seller-leaning market but meaningfully different from the 1.0-1.5 months we saw two years ago.
The local market has its own rhythm driven by the University of Florida calendar. Fall semester drives the strongest demand for student-adjacent rentals and starter homes; spring and early summer see family movers timing closings around the school year. Inventory typically peaks in late summer and bottoms in late winter.
What it means in practice: buyers have more choice than they did 18 months ago, especially in the $350K-$600K range. Sellers who price within a reasonable band of comps still move quickly; sellers who anchor to 2022 peak pricing sit on the market.
| Submarket | Active Listings | Months of Supply | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| NW Gainesville (Haile, Town of Tioga) | 342 | 3.4 | +12% |
| NE Gainesville / Suburbs | 215 | 4.1 | +15% |
| SW Gainesville (UF/Butler Plaza area) | 186 | 3.0 | +10% |
| Newberry / Tioga / Jonesville | 168 | 4.0 | +18% |
| Alachua / High Springs | 144 | 4.6 | +22% |
| Archer / Micanopy / outlying | 180 | 5.2 | +16% |
Months of supply = active listings ÷ trailing 30-day pace of sales. Numbers as of May 17, 2026.
Inventory by price band.
Gainesville's price band distribution skews lower than Jacksonville's. Entry-level inventory remains tight, mid-market is closest to balanced, and the small luxury segment ($1M+) has the most months of supply because the buyer pool is genuinely small here.
The student-housing-adjacent segment (small condos and townhomes near UF) operates almost as a separate market, with inventory and pricing tied more closely to enrollment cycles than to the broader metro.
| Price Band | Active Listings | Months of Supply | Market Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under $250K | 210 | 2.7 | Seller's market |
| $250K - $350K | 298 | 3.1 | Seller's market |
| $350K - $500K | 340 | 3.6 | Balanced |
| $500K - $750K | 215 | 4.8 | Balanced |
| $750K - $1M | 98 | 6.4 | Buyer's market |
| $1M+ | 74 | 9.1 | Buyer's market |
5-6 months is generally considered balanced. Below 4 months favors sellers; above 7 favors buyers.
Gainesville buyers in the $350K-$600K band have the best leverage they've had since 2019. Sellers above $750K need realistic pricing — the buyer pool at that price point in Gainesville is roughly one-third the size of comparable Jacksonville price bands. Pricing to attract that limited pool matters more here than it does elsewhere.
Data pulled from the Gainesville-Alachua County Association of Realtors (GACAR) MLS and supplemented with public records. Active listings counted as of the date noted. Months of supply calculated by dividing active listings by trailing 30-day sales pace. "Market condition" labels are interpretive, based on standard real estate definitions where 5-6 months of supply is considered balanced.
