Over the recorded series, Millhopper Forest’s median sold price moved from $467,750 (2012) to $667,500 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +43% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $467,750. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 8 closings a year (10-yr average 4.1). With roughly 4.1 closings a year, Millhopper Forest’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
What actually trades here: 100% single-family residence, with a median of 3,140 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $221 in the current window.
Of the 19 recorded Millhopper Forest closings since 2024, half landed between $631,000 and $680,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $570,000 and the highest $975,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

| $600,000 – $666,667 | 9 (47%) | |

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 ($250 vs $225) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 2,341–2,596 sq ft | $250 | $636,500 | $570,000 – $650,000 | 6 |
| Mid-size homes 2,800–3,012 sq ft | $222 | $643,500 | $594,900 – $689,000 | 6 |
| Larger homes 3,020–4,251 sq ft | $225 | $680,000 | $635,000 – $975,000 | 7 |

At Millhopper Forest’s $667,500 median and Alachua County’s adopted 16.56 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $11,050 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $10,400 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 $746,000 against the $667,500 recorded sold median (+12%) — 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: 17% of Millhopper Forest’s listings are under contract, against 23% for ZIP 32605 and 24% for Alachua County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Since 2001, 39 Millhopper Forest listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 33% of Millhopper Forest listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2025 that rate was 0%. Momentum’s market-heat index for Millhopper Forest reads 29/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Cash bought 20% of recorded Millhopper Forest sales in the window ending 2026-06 (1 of 5) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. With asking prices running +12% over the recorded sold median, a Millhopper Forest 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.
