Market Heat
Wilds Plantation is a small, deed-restricted community of 54 homes built mostly in the 2000s, with a median build year of 2005 and construction stretching out to 2022. What sets pricing here is size and condition more than age - the median living area runs over 3,000 square feet, so these are larger-format homes on a relatively short street count, and the spread in any given sale comes down to how well a given house has been maintained or updated rather than when it was built.
With only 2 active listings against 54 total homes and 3.4 months of supply, this reads as a balanced market, but the shallow inventory means it does not take much to shift leverage in either direction. A seller with one of the few homes on the market at a given time has real pricing room; a buyer waiting for more choices may be waiting a while, since turnover here is limited and a high share of owners hold homestead status.

🟡 Balanced market. 3.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.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. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 6 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($884K) is down 17.2% from the prior 12 months ($1.07M) and up 47% since 2012. With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level Stellar MLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 2. Confidence: Medium (6 and 6 sales in the two windows).
What's unique here: the median sale price is about 3x the typical Alachua County sale ($884K vs $325K, trailing 12 months, Stellar MLS records).

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 2 of each year, from record-level Stellar MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($884K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($1.07M) IS the -17.2% one-year change.
Windows contain 3 to 17 sales each (6 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on Stellar MLS data distributed by MLS GRID for the period 2003 through 2026. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The Wilds Plantation buying strategy.
If we were buying in Wilds Plantation 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 Wilds Plantation.
Small Community, Large-Format Homes
At 54 homes total, Wilds Plantation is not a high-volume subdivision, and the current snapshot of 2 active listings underscores that - this is a community where inventory moves in small increments, not waves. The median living area of just over 3,000 square feet points to homes built with more room than typical newer-construction product in the area, which tends to appeal to buyers looking for space rather than the smallest possible entry point.
The homestead share of 83.3% is notable: it suggests most owners here are settled in for the long term rather than treating these as transitional or investment properties, which helps explain why so few homes cycle onto the market in a given stretch. Deed restrictions and a playground are the amenities reported across listings, pointing to a managed community setting rather than an amenity-resort one - worth confirming directly with the HOA before assuming what is or is not included.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Wilds Plantation. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
