Cedar Key sits at the end of a causeway on Florida's Nature Coast, a working fishing village turned artist haven where clam farming, seafood shacks, and salt-marsh sunsets still set the pace. Life here is slow on purpose — most of the market is waterfront homes and stilted cottages, with a handful of homes with water views and condos rounding out the mix in the wider Levy County area.
For a buyer today, this is a small, patient market: just 14 active listings, and homes are taking a median of 62 days to sell. Prices run wide — from $125,000 up to $937,700 — so it pays to know your segment before you shop, whether that's a single-family home or a lower-priced condo. With only 8 sales in the past year and sellers averaging 90% of asking, there's room to negotiate if you're willing to wait for the right one.
Cedar Key is in Levy County, Florida.

Cedar Key real estate FAQs
Is Cedar Key a good place to live?+
If you want an unhurried Old Florida fishing town over a resort strip, Cedar Key delivers — it's an island community built around the water, seafood, and the arts. The tradeoff is scale: it's remote, small, and quiet, with just a handful of homes on the market at any time. Students are zoned to Cedar Key High School and nearby Chiefland schools in Levy County.
Is Cedar Key expensive?+
It's a mixed picture. The median list price is $404,900, but actual sales over the past year came in at a median of $199,250 — a reminder that asking and selling prices diverge here. You can find lower entry points if you browse by price, while true Gulf-front properties push toward the top of the range.
What do homes cost in Cedar Key?+
Active listings run from $125,000 to $937,700, with a median list of $404,900 and an average of $327 per square foot. Homes are compact — around 1,219 sqft at the median — so you're often paying for location and water access more than size. The mix skews toward single-family homes, with a few condos and one mobile home in the current inventory.
How is the Cedar Key housing market?+
It's a slow, low-volume market: only 8 homes sold in the past 12 months and 14 are active now, with a median of 62 days on market. Sellers are getting about 90% of their asking price on average, which signals negotiating room for patient buyers. Keep an eye on what's just reduced to spot motivated sellers.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $600 per month, which typically reflects condo and managed-community listings rather than standalone houses — worth checking line by line since the mix includes townhomes & condos. Median property tax is roughly $4,511 per year. Always confirm both figures on the specific listing, since costs vary widely across this small market.
