Parade of Homes draws buyers as Alachua County property tax amendment nears vote
The Builders Association of North Central Florida held its Fall Parade of Homes this weekend, showcasing 17 newly built homes across 13 neighborhoods in Gainesville, Newberry, Alachua, and High Springs. The event coincides with a November ballot measure, Amendment 3, that would expand homestead property tax exemptions for qualifying owners — with supporters citing potential savings and opponents warning of reduced funding for local services. September data from Florida Realtors shows home sales in the Gainesville market rose 7.6% while average sale prices held relatively flat.
