The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
$838,717the mess$1,071,471
Actual list price: $1,299,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 28% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
This home: 43 days on market vs. a 88-day community median
1 active listing competing, 1 under contract
≈4.0 months of supply
3 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $1,299,000 ($324/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Jul 2026 · Civic
Gainesville starts building Southwest Public Safety Center
Gainesville is moving forward on a $22.2 million Southwest Public Safety Center on a 7.5-acre site in southwest Gainesville. The facility will house Fire Station 9 and a new police precinct, include a community space and four fire apparatus bays, and be storm hardened, with an expected opening by 2027. Funding comes from the county full-cent infrastructure surtax approved in 2022.
Why it matters: A new fire and police facility strengthens local emergency infrastructure and reflects continued public investment in the southwest submarket. The project is about 14 miles south of Santa Fe Forest, elsewhere in Alachua County.
Gainesville approves grant loan for northeast affordable housing project
Gainesville commissioners unanimously approved a $460,000 ConnectFree grant loan for Hope at Debra Heights, a 96-apartment development in four three-story buildings along Northeast Second Street. The roughly $31 million project offers one, two, and three bedroom units and the funding supports its application for state low-income housing tax credits ahead of an August 11, 2026 deadline.
Why it matters: A 96 unit apartment development adds new multifamily rental supply to the northeast Gainesville market. The project is about 13 miles southeast of Santa Fe Forest, elsewhere in Alachua County.
Newberry approves land buy for regional fire training facility
The Newberry City Commission unanimously approved buying 8.83 acres for $600,000 west of Champions Park to build a regional fire training facility, with construction estimated near $1 million and $750,000 in state appropriations. Construction begins in fiscal year 2026-27, and Levy, Gilchrist, Dixie, and potentially Alachua counties have expressed interest in using the site, which could later convert to a fire station.
Why it matters: A regional fire training facility adds public safety infrastructure and supports service capacity for continued growth in western Alachua County. The project is about 18 miles southwest of Santa Fe Forest, elsewhere in Alachua County.
The Alachua City Commission voted 3-2 to approve land use changes for Farmlands Commercial on US Highway 441 at NW 188th Street, part of a project spanning more than 200 acres. Proposed plans include two shopping centers, additional retail, six restaurants, a gas station, an auto center, and over 200 single-family homes, with shopping areas targeted for 2028 and residential by 2032. City staff disclosed a large big box store is planned within the center.
Why it matters: A large mixed commercial and residential center adds major retail square footage and new housing lots to the north Alachua market. The site is about 3 miles west of Santa Fe Forest.

Answered before you ask
Frequently asked questions
Why might my property taxes differ from the current owner's?
Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment can be re-set after a sale. As a result a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Where does the flood-zone information come from?
The flood designation shown (Zone X) comes from the FEMA flood map and is provided for general information. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
