Redfin's June 2026 snapshot cites an average Gainesville house price of $420K, up 10.1% year over year. A separate February 2026 reading cited a $475,000 median sale price for the same city -- roughly a $55K spread depending on the exact source and month, disclosed here rather than collapsed into one number.
A Wide Spread by Zip Code
Zip-code-level data shows real local variation: 30506 posted a $435K median in March 2026 (down 0.57% year over year), while 30501 posted a $340K median in November 2025 (down 5.6% year over year) -- a roughly $95K spread between two Gainesville zip codes in the same general period. Confirm a specific zip code's current data directly rather than relying on a single citywide figure.
Hall County as a Whole Is Also Appreciating
Hall County overall (not just the city of Gainesville) showed home prices up 2.0% year over year as of August 2025, selling for a median price of $430K -- broadly consistent with the city-level figures above and suggesting appreciation is a countywide, not just city-specific, pattern.
Key takeaways
- Gainesville's citywide median sale price is cited in a $420K-$475K range depending on the source and month -- a real, disclosed disagreement rather than one precise figure.
- Zip-code-level prices vary widely: 30506 ($435K) versus 30501 ($340K) show a roughly $95K spread within the city.
- Hall County overall is also appreciating (a $430K county median, up 2.0% YoY as of August 2025), suggesting a countywide rather than city-specific trend.
- Confirm current, zip-code-specific pricing directly given the real spread across sources and locations.
