For Buyers > Welcome
Whether you are new to Gainesville or are downsizing or upgrading, Gainesville's housing values are consistently some of the strongest in the state. Protected from the wide ups and downs South Florida experiences, our values remain relatively strong due to the constant influx of people into and out of the University of Florida.
Carefully consider what you are looking for. You can decrease stress and time from the house hunting process by doing your homework. Some questions to consider:
- In what type of community do you feel most at home?
- Do you need to be in a certain school zone?
- What is your price range? What is your time frame?
- Do you want a detached or attached home?
- How many bedrooms/bathrooms do you need?
- Do you want to build, buy fairly new or prefer an older home?
- Do you like two-stories and if so, on which story do you want the master?
- Do you need a three car garage or will two suffice?
- Do you like a large, wooded lot or do you prefer a low-maintenance yard?
- Do you want a pool?
- What are your "deal-breakers" and "deal-makers?"
- How far of a commute to work/school is acceptable?
