What homes of your size have sold for in GULF COAST RET

The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($329 vs $267) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.

At GULF COAST RET’s $500,000 median and Hernando County’s adopted 18.64 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $9,320 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $8,550 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 Hernando County tax page.

Selling in GULF COAST RET right now: what the record says

Current asking prices run a median $549,900 against the $500,000 recorded sold median (+10%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 3.7 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 16% of GULF COAST RET’s listings are under contract, against 21% for ZIP 34607 and 29% for Hernando County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2005, 507 GULF COAST RET listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (28 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 80% of GULF COAST RET listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 55%. Momentum’s market-heat index for GULF COAST RET reads 56/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).

Cash bought 42% of recorded GULF COAST RET sales in the window ending 2026-06 (21 of 50) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. With asking prices running +10% over the recorded sold median, a GULF COAST RET listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.
