Levy County Homes for Sale

Levy County snapshot (April 2026): typical home value $288K ($206/sqft), median rent $1,617, about 260 active listings, a median 88 days on market, and 19.1% of listings cutting price — a buyer's market. Values are -2.6% over the past year and +6.6% over five years.

Levy's economy mixes agriculture (cattle, watermelons, horses around Williston), a nationally significant clam-aquaculture industry in Cedar Key, nature tourism around the springs and the Gulf, and county-and-school-district government. It is one of the more rural and affordable counties on the Gulf side.

A median-priced Levy County home costs about $2,123/month all-in (mortgage, tax, and insurance, 10% down) against median household income of $53,805. Florida's homestead exemption removes up to $50,000 of assessed value, and Save Our Homes caps annual assessed-value increases at 3% while you keep the homestead.

At about $1,385 a year on average, Levy is among the more reasonable insurance markets in Florida, though coastal and older homes still run well above the average. Wind-mitigation features earn insurance credits; flood insurance is priced separately by address. Run your own numbers with the true cost calculator.

Builders pulled 244 residential permits last year (+22.6% YoY) — 240 single-family and 4 multifamily, about 5.5 per 1,000 residents. Builders compete on rate buydowns and closing-cost credits; buyer representation matters even on a new build. See active builders →

Levy County has about 44,276 residents. On a net domestic basis it gained roughly 1,068 people and a net +$46.73M in adjusted gross income in the latest IRS filing year (county-to-county moves within the U.S.; this does not count international migration or births). Migration is the demand engine behind prices: when more income flows in than out, it supports both rents and values.

Expect Levy to stay an affordable, steady market over the next 12 months, with Cedar Key's unique appeal and Williston's agriculture-and-springs draw supporting demand and slow price movement — coastal storm risk the main watch-item.

Levy's economy mixes agriculture (cattle, watermelons, horses around Williston), a nationally significant clam-aquaculture industry in Cedar Key, nature tourism around the springs and the Gulf, and county-and-school-district government.

Cedar Key is one of the largest clam-aquaculture producers in the country; Williston anchors a horse-and-agriculture economy.

Levy is old-Florida Nature Coast: Cedar Key's stilt houses, seafood, and artist culture; the world-class cave diving of Devil's Den and Blue Grotto near Williston; Manatee Springs and the lower Suwannee; and scalloping, clamming, and fishing along a quiet, undeveloped Gulf shore. It is a rural, affordable, water-and-springs lifestyle.

Levy's risks are coastal-and-rural: Cedar Key and the low-lying Gulf shore carry real hurricane-and-surge exposure (recent storms have flooded the island), the economy is small and agriculture-and-aquaculture dependent, and incomes are modest. Inland Williston and Chiefland carry lower surge risk.
