Groveland Housing Market Report: October 2026

By Nelson Cruz, P.A. | October 29, 2026

What are Groveland homes listed for right now, and what did they actually sell for? The median asking price for an active Groveland single-family listing is $409,900 in the week of October 29, 2026, according to Altos Research. Single-family homes that closed in Groveland during September 2026 had a median sold price of $400,000, according to Stellar MLS. Asking sits about 2.5% above that closed median. The figure that moved over the year is price per square foot: September closings came in at $195.64 per heated square foot, down 6.6% from September 2025, while the median closed price was close to flat at plus 0.5%.

This report keeps two datasets separate. Altos Research measures homes currently listed, so every Altos figure below is an asking price or a count of active listings. Stellar MLS supplies the closed-sale figures, which are what buyers paid. Listing data is never sold data.

Groveland active listings: week of October 29, 2026

Altos reports Groveland at the city level and for ZIP code 34736. Both returned identical values this week, so the two describe the same set of active single-family listings. Property type is houses.

Altos labels a Market Action Index of 31 a “Slight Seller’s Advantage,” defining any reading above 30 as a seller’s market and below 30 as a buyer’s market. That puts Groveland one point inside seller territory. It read 31 last month as well, and Altos describes inventory as having held steady at or around 181.

The price-cut share is the number worth sitting with. Of the 181 homes listed, 44% have taken at least one reduction, roughly 80 listings. Against that, 3% have raised their asking price and 2% have been relisted.

The gap between what Groveland sellers ask and what buyers paid

Groveland closed 47 single-family sales in September 2026, down from 53 a year earlier. These are Stellar MLS records with Groveland as the listed city, all in ZIP code 34736.

Based on information from Stellar MLS and sourced by MVP Home Group, Real Broker LLC for the period September 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026 (and September 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025), for Single Family Residence in Groveland. This information may or may not include all listed expired, withdrawn, pending or sold properties of one or more members of Stellar MLS.

Put the two datasets side by side and the asking premium is modest. The $409,900 active median is $9,900 above September’s $400,000 closed median, a 2.5% difference. On a per-square-foot basis the gap is 3.3%: $202 asked against $195.64 paid.

A median sold-to-list ratio of 100% means the typical Groveland home closed at its list price. That ratio is measured against the list price in effect when the contract was signed, which for many of these homes came after a reduction. Closing at 100% of list is evidence that the final asking price was right, not the first one.

The year-over-year split matters more than either figure alone. The median sold price barely moved, up 0.5%, while median price per heated square foot fell 6.6%. Statewide, Florida Realtors reported on October 16, 2026 that September single-family closed sales fell 3.5% year over year and the statewide median sale price rose 1.2% to $415,000. Groveland’s sales fell further than the state and its median price rose less.

Price per square foot is not uniform across Groveland

Altos splits the active market into four segments, each roughly 25% of listings ordered by price. Dividing a segment’s median price by its median size gives an approximate asking rate per square foot. Those two medians are calculated separately, so the result is indicative rather than the median of individual listings.

Source: Altos Research market segments, week of October 29, 2026, Groveland, FL, houses. “Absorbed” is Altos’s term for listings that left the active market during the week. It does not mean sold, and Altos does not label it as sold.

Three readings come out of that table:

• The top quartile carries a large premium per square foot. At an implied $247.84, the top segment asks about 27% more per square foot than the $194.84 of the third segment, even though its homes are only four years older at the median. Groveland’s three lower segments cluster tightly between $189 and $199.
• Size matters more than tier below the top. The cheapest segment has the second-highest implied rate at $198.45 on 1,612 square feet. Smaller homes normally sell for more per square foot, so a citywide average rate can mislead in either direction.
• Weekly activity counts are tiny. Across all four segments Altos recorded 9 new listings and 13 absorbed this week. Single-digit counts cannot support a claim about any segment’s direction.

The same caution applies to the $330,000 median price of new listings, which sits 19.5% below the median of the whole active pool and fell $95,000 in a single week. With nine new listings citywide, that median can swing on one or two homes.

What this means if you are selling a Groveland home

Two numbers describe how long homes sit, and they measure different groups. Altos reports the active pool at a median of 84 days on market, meaning how long the homes still for sale have been listed. Stellar reports the homes that closed in September took a median of 49 cumulative days. The homes that found buyers moved faster than the standing inventory, which keeps aging because listings that do not sell stay in the count.

With 44% of active listings already reduced, the practical question is whether your asking price sits inside the band where September’s buyers actually transacted.

A checklist before you list:

1. Price against closed sales, then check the active list. September’s closed median was $400,000 at $195.64 per heated square foot. The active median of $409,900 at $202 tells you what your competition is asking, which is a different question.
2. Compare within your size range. Groveland’s implied asking rate runs from about $189 to $248 per square foot by segment. Pull comparable sales near your home’s square footage rather than applying one citywide rate.
3. Watch the per-square-foot trend. Median price per heated square foot fell 6.6% year over year while the median sold price held. If your home is larger than the Groveland median, that decline affects you more than the flat headline suggests.
4. Set a review date before you go live. September’s closings took a median of 49 cumulative days. Decide in advance what showing and feedback levels at the four-week and seven-week marks would trigger an adjustment. Our guide on when to reduce a listing price covers how to make that call.
5. Expect to close near your final list price. The median sold-to-list ratio was 100%. The negotiating room here is taken before the contract, through the asking price itself.

A note for Groveland buyers

The per-square-foot decline is the buyer’s side of the same story. A 6.6% drop in price per heated square foot alongside a flat median price means September buyers paid about last year’s money for a measurably larger home. Groveland’s three lower segments all ask between $189 and $199 per square foot, so moving up a tier within those three buys space at close to the same rate.

The aged listings are where the room is. Ask how long a home has been listed and whether its current price is the original one before you decide what to offer. Altos also reports a median rent of $2,300 in Groveland, worth knowing if you are weighing renting against buying for another year.
