As of October 2026, Dolphin Cove in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL has 2 homes for sale. Over the 12 months ending 2026-10-01, 14 recorded sales closed at a median of $522,500, $375 per square foot, a median 54 days on market, sellers accepting 94% of original asking (-14% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1973–1981; none of the 14 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 16 ft). At the median price and St. Johns County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.47 mills, annual property tax runs about $7,040 ($6,520 with the full homestead exemption).
Dolphin Cove Ponte Vedra is a small, tightly held pocket of St. Johns County — pricing here is set by scarcity as much as by the homes themselves. The median sale price sits at $500,000, working out to roughly $357 per square foot, and with only 2 active listings and 13 closings in the recent window, there simply is not much on the market to compare against at any given time.
That scarcity is why the community reads as seller-leaning with only 1.8 months of supply on hand, even though the median price is down 18% year over year. Buyers should not read that pullback as a soft market — with this little inventory, a single closing can move the median. Sellers still hold the leverage, but need to price against recent, not year-old, comps; buyers who can move decisively when one of the few listings appears are the ones who tend to win here.
Dolphin Cove Ponte Vedra right now
🟡 Balanced market. 1.7 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 1, 2026. Confidence: High (2 active and pending listings, 14 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($522K) is down 14.3% from the prior 12 months ($610K) and up 207% since 2012. With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending October 1. Confidence: Medium (14 and 11 sales in the two windows).

A low-volume St. Johns County community where price is driven as much by how little is for sale as by the homes themselves — recent closings sit at a $500,000 median, but the sample is thin enough that each sale carries outsized weight on the numbers.

Who Dolphin Cove Ponte Vedra is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a purchase near the $500,000 median who are prepared to act quickly when a listing appears.
- Sellers comfortable pricing against a thin, 13-closing sample rather than a deep pool of competing listings.
- Longer-horizon buyers or sellers who weigh the 209% gain since 2012 more heavily than the recent 18% pullback.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want several active listings to compare side by side before making an offer.
- Buyers expecting a fast negotiation — the median time on market here runs 59 days.
- Sellers pricing off last year's numbers instead of the current, lower year-over-year median.

The Dolphin Cove Ponte Vedra buying strategy.
If we were buying in Dolphin Cove Ponte Vedra 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 Dolphin Cove Ponte Vedra.
Small Sample, Big Swings
With just 2 active listings and 13 closings in the tracked window, Dolphin Cove Ponte Vedra is a market where the headline numbers move on thin volume. The median price of $500,000 and price per square foot near $357 are real, current figures, but they represent a handful of transactions rather than a deep, liquid market — a single high or low sale can shift the median more than it would in a larger community.
The longer arc still favors holding: prices here are up 209% since 2012, even after the 18% year-over-year pullback and a median time on market of 59 days. Read together with 1.8 months of supply, the market band sits seller-leaning — sellers are not being forced to discount, but the days-on-market figure shows buyers are not rushing offers in immediately, either. It is a market that rewards patience on both sides, not speed.

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 5 factors (6.9). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +207% since 2012; Recent Direction -14.3% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 1.7 months of supply; Owner Commitment 76% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 93.9% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community with only 2 active listings at any given time, pricing off stale or thin comps is the biggest risk to either side of a deal. We build our valuations by hand from the actual closings feeding this snapshot — not an automated estimate — so you are pricing against what has really happened here recently, including the 18% year-over-year shift, rather than a number a model generated in isolation.
