In The Gables, price is driven far more by condition and by what the HOA covers than by any single list number. This is a gated, deed-restricted community with maintenance, a clubhouse, pool, and fitness center in the mix, so part of what a buyer pays for is the carrying package behind the gate. Verify exactly what that fee includes before you anchor on any price.

The posture here is distinctly buyer-leaning: roughly 12 months of supply against a single active listing. That combination means thin inventory and slow absorption at the same time. For a buyer, there is room to be deliberate and to negotiate on terms. For a seller, it argues for sharp pricing and patience rather than expecting a quick, competitive bid.

Figures in this note are as of October 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 12.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of Stellar MLS records, as of August 2, 2026.

The 60-Second Overview

The Gables is a gated, deed-restricted community in Gainesville with a shared clubhouse, pool, and fitness center, and an HOA that handles maintenance and requires buyer approval. With only one home currently active, availability is intermittent rather than steady.

Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

Best for

  • Buying for low-maintenance ownership where the HOA handles upkeep
  • Buyers who value gated access and shared amenities like a clubhouse, pool, and fitness center
  • Buying with a flexible timeline and willing to wait for limited inventory

Probably not for

  • Needing to move on a tight timeline against thin availability
  • Buyers who want to avoid deed restrictions, HOA dues, or a buyer-approval process
  • Prioritizing fast resale in a market with high months of supply

    Gainesville Plan Board recommends denying land use change for Cottages at Depot Park

    The City Plan Board voted 4-3 to recommend denying a new land use and Urban 6 zoning for about 2 acres at the Cottages at Depot Park, which has about 37 existing units. The zoning would have allowed a drive-thru by right. The City Commission makes the final decision, and current zoning already allows redevelopment.

    What it may mean for the marketThe outcome affects whether a small near-downtown parcel can be redeveloped at higher density with commercial uses. The project is about 5 miles east of The Gables, elsewhere in Alachua County.

If we were buying in The Gables today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 The Gables.

Best Buy
Buyers who want low-maintenance, amenity-backed ownership behind a gate and can wait for the right listing.
Biggest Risk
With one active listing and 12 months of supply, availability is intermittent and resale can be slow.
Sweet Spot
A well-maintained unit where the HOA package clearly justifies the monthly cost.
Avoid If
You need to close quickly or want freedom from deed restrictions and association approval.

What you're actually buying behind the gate

The amenity list reads like a managed community built for low-maintenance ownership: gated access with no guard, a community mailbox, clubhouse, pool, and fitness center, plus maintenance folded into the HOA. That structure can simplify ownership, but it also means your monthly obligation and the association's rules matter as much as the home itself. Deed restrictions and a buyer-approval requirement are both in place here.

Because this is a buyer-approval community, build the HOA review into your timeline from the start rather than treating it as a formality at the end. Confirm the current dues, what maintenance actually covers, any rental or use restrictions, and the approval process directly with the association. The amenities noted here come from MLS listings and should be verified for current access and condition.

“

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Gables. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

A one-listing, 12-months-supply market rewards local timing and patience. We track when Gables homes actually come available, pull the HOA documents early so the buyer-approval step doesn't surprise you, and help you read condition against the single median figure rather than a phantom range. On the sell side, we price to the reality of slow absorption instead of hoping for a bid that the current supply doesn't support.
