It will likely remain a buyer’s market in Gainesville because the Gainesville area hit its real estate downturn later, in 2008. Median home prices declined 8% last year. Foreclosures and short sales make up 25% of the market, with fears that number may grow higher this year, says Craig Wilburn, a broker with Bosshardt Realty Services and president of the local real estate association.

Gator with missing jaw finds home in Florida park

A Florida reptile park has taken in an alligator that lost its nose and upper jaw to a fight or boat propeller. Gatorland Orlando said over the weekend that the injured alligator came from a lake in nearby Sanford, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Orlando. “She had basically no chance of surviving in the wild with such a severe injury,” the park said in a social media post.
