Courtside Villas sits in Fernandina Beach with a median price near $505,000 and a median around $346 per square foot. That per-foot figure is the tell here: in a villa community, price tracks condition, layout, and what has been updated far more than raw footage, so two homes at the same size can land well apart depending on how they show.
The median days on market is 95 — call it just over three months to a deal. That is a patient market, not a frantic one. Sellers should price to the condition of the specific unit and expect to wait; buyers have room to read a listing carefully rather than react. With only three closings in the window, treat every comp individually rather than assuming a clean trend.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The Courtside Villas buying strategy.
If we were buying in Courtside Villas today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Courtside Villas.
Reading a thin, condition-driven market
With just three closings in the measured window, the numbers describe a narrow slice, not a deep pool. A single well-renovated villa or a single tired one can move the median meaningfully, so the $505,000 figure is a starting reference point, not a fixed value for every door. The right approach is unit-by-unit: what has been updated, how it lives, and how it compares to whatever is actively listed alongside it.
The 95-day median is the more durable signal. It tells you this is not a market where mispriced listings get bailed out by urgency. Homes that show well and are priced to their actual condition transact; those that lean on an optimistic number tend to sit. For a buyer, that pace is leverage. For a seller, it is a reminder that presentation and pricing do the work here, not momentum.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Courtside Villas. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Courtside Villas buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (2.7). Basis: Recent Direction -13.9% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 26% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 89.7% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community this thin on closings, the median only gets you in the room — the value is in judging one villa against another on condition, layout, and updates. We walk the specific unit, weigh it against what is actually active and what actually sold, and price or negotiate to that, not to a headline number. In a market running just over three months to a sale, that discipline is what separates a clean deal from a listing that lingers.
