Market snapshot

The Citra market, in plain terms

Citra is land country — the market leans heavily to horse farms, cattle acreage, and large rural lots, with lakefront homes on Orange Lake forming a distinct waterfront segment. In-town housing is limited and modest. It’s a place buyers come for space rather than subdivisions.

Farm acreage and lakefront price on very different terms, so ask Lina for today’s median, per-acre comps, and active listings in the part of Citra you’re considering.
