True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of November 2026, the MLS records 13 closed sales in Bellamy Forest in High Springs, FL since 2002, the most recent in October 2025. Across High Springs as a whole, 172 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $321,000, 35 median days on market, with 60 homes for sale today. At that median and Alachua County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.56 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,310 ($4,670 with the full homestead exemption).
Bellamy Forest is a small pocket of 54 homes in High Springs, and price here is driven almost entirely by condition and vintage rather than any single product type. With a build range running from 1948 all the way to 2017 and a median year built of 2012, the stock splits between genuinely newer construction and a handful of much older houses - two very different value stories sitting in the same community. The median home runs about 1,611 square feet, so this is a modest-footprint market where updates and finish level will move a number more than square footage does.
As of August 2026 there are zero active listings. For a seller, that means no on-market competition and a thin comp set - pricing has to lean on recent closings and a frank read of condition rather than what the neighbor is asking. For a buyer, it means patience: you are likely waiting for something to come to market, and when it does you should be ready to move. A homestead share just over 80% also tells you turnover tends to be low and most owners are holding, not trading.
Figures in this note are as of October 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The 60-Second Overview
Bellamy Forest is a compact, owner-occupied community in High Springs where most of the housing skews newer but a few mid-century holdouts remain - so the real variable is the individual house, not the subdivision average.

High Springs keeps police and fire for now as $21M budget and audit shape next steps
High Springs commissioners approved a $21 million budget in September, with the police department accounting for about $3.2 million. City officials say the fire assessment does not fully cover that department, and a financial audit was expected to begin in October before cuts or sheriff contracting return for discussion. An outside estimate put possible savings from a county sheriff contract at up to $11 million over five years, though no proposal exists.
What it may mean for the marketUncertainty over municipal service funding and tax rates in High Springs is a factor in local cost-of-ownership expectations there. The site is about 4 miles southwest of Bellamy Forest.

City of Alachua approves 12-month moratorium on AI data center applications

What it may mean for the marketThe pause limits one type of large industrial land use in Alachua while rules are written, which shapes what can be built on nearby land. The site is about 6 miles southeast of Bellamy Forest.

The Bellamy Forest buying strategy.
If we were buying in Bellamy Forest today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Bellamy Forest.
A condition-driven market with no shelf stock
The headline tension here is the spread between the median year built of 2012 and the back end of the range at 1948. That gap matters: a buyer can land either a relatively recent build or a decades-older home, and the difference in systems, roof age, and finish will account for most of the price variation you see. We quote the median figure and describe the rest qualitatively on purpose - in a 54-home community, there is no reliable band to promise, only individual houses to assess.
No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so you are buying the house and the location, not a clubhouse or shared package. At roughly 1,611 median square feet, this is right-sized living - enough for a primary residence without the maintenance load of a large footprint. Combine that with the very high homestead share and you get a community that behaves like a stable, low-churn residential pocket rather than a trading market.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Bellamy Forest. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With no active listings and a wide age range in the stock, this is a market where the comp work and the condition read do all the heavy lifting. We track Bellamy Forest closings directly and can tell you quickly whether a given house is a newer build or an older one wearing fresh paint - the distinction that sets the price. If you want in, we help you get positioned to act before something hits the open market; if you are selling, we price against actual closings rather than a nonexistent on-market set.
