For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current BIVENS LAKE ESTATE S listings →
At BIVENS LAKE ESTATE S’s $172,405 median and Alachua County’s adopted 16.56 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $2,850 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,210 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.
Current asking prices run a median $169,900 against the $172,405 recorded sold median (-1%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 6.9 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of BIVENS LAKE ESTATE S’s listings are under contract, against 28% for ZIP 32608 and 24% for Alachua County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2023, 14 BIVENS LAKE ESTATE S listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (3 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 39% of BIVENS LAKE ESTATE S listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 43%.
Cash bought 50% of recorded BIVENS LAKE ESTATE S sales in the window ending 2026-06 (3 of 6) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. Asking and recorded sold prices are within a few percent of each other here, so the table above is close to what a BIVENS LAKE ESTATE S buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.
