Compass Lake (Alford, FL): 7 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-09-20, a 4-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, median closings ran near original asking (101.3%); the median sale took 29 days; new construction was 57.1% of recorded sales — builder pricing competes with resales here (window ending 2026-09-20).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $242,990 | — | 29 | 101.3% | 7 |
| 2025 | $238,750 | — | 68 | 90.9% | 4 |
| 2018 | $234,900 | — | 62 | 86.6% | 3 |
| 2017 | $103,000 | — | 122 | 84.3% | 5 |
Over the recorded series, Compass Lake’s median sold price moved from $103,000 (2017) to $242,990 (12 months ending 2026-09-20) — +136% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-10-01: 7 active listings (plus 1 pending) asking from $199,900 to $799,000, median $259,900; 4 of 7 have been on the market over 60 days (median 103 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 1958 and 2026 (median 2026), 6 of them new construction; none of the 8 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 318 ft). 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 Compass Lake listings →
At Compass Lake’s $242,990 median and Jackson County’s adopted 14.57 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,540 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,960 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 Jackson County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $259,900 against the $242,990 recorded sold median (+7%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. Demand check: 12% of Compass Lake’s listings are under contract, against 7% for ZIP 32420 and 16% for Jackson County as a whole — roughly in line with its surroundings.
Asking and recorded sold prices are within a few percent of each other here, so the table above is close to what a Compass Lake buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.
