Over the recorded series, University Acres’s median sold price moved from $263,500 (2013) to $782,500 (12 months ending 2026-08-02) — +197% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2013 at $263,500. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — University Acres’s median moved +14% from 2019 to 2022. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 8 closings a year (10-yr average 3.5). With roughly 3.5 closings a year, University Acres’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 3,577 sq ft and a median price per square foot of $218 in the current window.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-10-01: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1970 and 2009 (median 1992); none of the 4 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 132 ft). See the current University Acres listings →
At University Acres’s $782,500 median and Alachua County’s adopted 16.56 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $12,950 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $12,310 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.
Since 2004, 63 University Acres listings were withdrawn, canceled, or expired without selling — overpricing is the recurring cause statewide. Over the recorded years, an average of 40% of University Acres listings ended without selling (withdrawn/canceled/expired); in 2025 that rate was 50%.
Cash bought 75% of recorded University Acres sales in the window ending 2026-06 (3 of 4) — a fact worth knowing before assuming every buyer needs an appraisal to close. The table above is the closed-sale record to price a University Acres home against; asking prices are an opening position, recorded closings are the value.
