The four bands under $500,000 sit in a narrow range of 3.0 to 3.6 active listings per pending listing. Above $500,000 the ratio roughly doubles. Time on market follows the same line: the median active listing had been on the market 72 to 74 days in every band under $750,000, against 106 days from $750,000 to $999,999 and 115 days at $1 million and above. Countywide, 701 active listings, or 18 percent, had been listed 180 days or more.

Is new construction driving Ocala contracts?

Yes, especially under $500,000. New construction was 967 of the 3,898 active listings, or 25 percent, but 442 of the 1,058 pending listings, or 42 percent.

The gap is widest from $200,000 to $299,999, where 454 active new-construction listings were matched by 228 pending, while 1,046 resale listings were matched by 217 pending. Above $500,000, new construction was a small part of the market, with 77 active and 12 pending listings.

Our September Stellar MLS Market Pulse, with closings through October 24, counted 632 Marion County sales at a median of $280,000, down 1.8 percent from a year earlier, which fits a market where most buying happens under $300,000.

Dunnellon stands out for new construction, with 192 of its 432 active listings flagged new, or 44 percent. Ocklawaha had the highest ratio of the five, about 5.9 active listings per pending. Recent sales for each place are on the Ocala, Dunnellon, Summerfield and Belleview market pages.

What does this mean for Ocala buyers and sellers?

For buyers above $500,000, the numbers point to more choice and more time to compare: there were about seven active listings for every one in contract, and the median $1 million listing had been on the market almost four months. For resale sellers under $300,000, the main competition is new construction, which was going under contract at about twice the rate of resale listings in the same price range.

Builder communities are on the new construction homes in Ocala and new construction homes in Marion County pages, and builders active in the county are on the Marion County home builders page. Insurance budgets are on the Ocala home insurance cost and Dunnellon home insurance cost pages, and flood zone context is on Ocala flood zones by neighborhood.

Limitations

Figures are a single live map snapshot taken October 27, 2026, not monthly totals, and can differ from the inventory counts in monthly reports. Marion County is approximated by the place named on each listing (Ocala, Dunnellon, Summerfield, Belleview, Ocklawaha, Silver Springs, Citra, Reddick, Anthony, Weirsdale and smaller places); some Dunnellon and Summerfield addresses fall in neighboring counties. Pending includes listings marked pending or under contract. Days on market is the listing's current count as reported to our feed. New construction uses the MLS flag, which agents sometimes leave blank. Figures may be revised as the MLS updates records.
