OAKS (GAINESVILLE, FL): 6 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-02, a 5-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.
In the current window, sellers accepted a median 75.2% of original asking; the median sale took 111 days (window ending 2026-08-02).
| Year | Median sold | Median $/sqft | Median DOM | Sold ÷ original ask | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $92,500 | $86 | 111 | 75.2% | 6 |
| 2025 | $112,500 | $121 | 53 | 89.5% | 6 |
| 2024 | $120,000 | $120 | 13 | 97.8% | 7 |
| 2023 | $94,000 | $107 | 17 | 89.7% | 6 |
| 2022 | $85,000 | $120 | 2 | 100.6% | 8 |
Over the recorded series, OAKS’s median sold price moved from $85,000 (2022) to $92,500 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +9% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
What actually trades here: 100% condominium, with a median of 1,003 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $86 in the current window.
Of the 18 recorded OAKS closings since 2024, half landed between $92,500 and $118,938 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $81,000 and the highest $149,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $75,000 | 0 (0%) | |
| $75,000 – $91,667 | 4 (22%) | |
| $91,667 – $108,333 | 6 (33%) | |
| $108,333 – $125,000 | 5 (28%) | |
| None and up | 3 (17%) |
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 ($135 vs $107) — 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 526–702 sq ft | $135 | $94,500 | $81,000 – $111,000 | 6 |
| Mid-size homes 1,003–1,164 sq ft | $92 | $100,000 | $85,000 – $120,250 | 6 |
| Larger homes 1,164–1,289 sq ft | $107 | $125,250 | $95,000 – $149,000 | 6 |
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: 4 active listings (plus 1 pending) asking from $85,000 to $102,500, median $93,700; 3 of 4 have been on the market over 60 days (median 85 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 1972 and 2006 (median 1972); 8 of 11 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $325/mo; none of the 11 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 88 ft); the features listings here most often name are Pool, Clubhouse, Fitness Center, Community Mailbox and Deed Restrictions. 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 OAKS listings →
At OAKS’s $92,500 median and Alachua County’s adopted 16.56 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $1,530 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $880 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 $89,900 against the $92,500 recorded sold median (-3%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 8.6 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of OAKS’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 2022, 25 OAKS listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling (5 so far in 2026) — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 45% of OAKS listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2026 that rate was 50%.
Cash bought 100% of recorded OAKS sales in the window ending 2026-06 (6 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 OAKS buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.

Communities buyers shopping OAKS are also weighing (nearest by map distance), each on its own recorded 12-month closings. A median well above the neighbors is a ceiling to price against; well below is where the value argument lives.
