Jon's Read · written July 15, 2026

Price here is being set by a handful of transactions, not a broad market. With a median of $632,500 and $321.49 per square foot, and only four active listings and four closings in the current window, every sale carries outsized weight on the numbers — a single high or low-condition closing can move the median more than it would in a deeper market.

The market band reads buyer-leaning with 12 months of supply, yet the median time on market is just 28.5 days. Read that combination carefully: it is not that homes sit — it is that so few homes list here that 12 months of supply can coexist with a fast sale once a listing does hit the market. For sellers, pricing precisely against the last few closings matters more than usual. For buyers, being ready to move the moment something lists matters more than negotiating room.

Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Hildreth Back Bay right now

🟡 Balanced market. 2.0 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 20, 2026. Confidence: Medium (1 active and pending listings, 6 closed sales in 12 months).

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($510K) is down 15.7% from the prior 12 months ($605K). With about 4 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 20. Confidence: Low (6 and 5 sales in the two windows).

County records show 11 qualified sales in Hildreth Back Bay across 2024–2025 (5 in 2024, 6 in 2025), median $485,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Hildreth Back Bay is a community of 121 homes in St. Augustine, St. Johns County, built between 1924 and 2024 (median 1963), with a median living area of about 1,530 square feet. 61% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Hildreth Back Bay is a St. Augustine community in St. Johns County where the resale market currently turns on a small handful of transactions. As of 2026-07-14, the median price sits at $632,500 with a median of $321.49 per square foot.

Best for

  • Buyers targeting a purchase near the $632,500 median who are ready to move quickly once a home lists.
  • Buyers comfortable evaluating value on a price-per-square-foot basis, where the current median runs $321.49.
  • Buyers or sellers who want a strategy built on the last few actual closings rather than a broad-market estimate.

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want a wide pool of active listings to compare side by side — only four are currently on market.
  • Buyers making their decision around specific community amenities, since none are identified in current MLS listings.
  • Buyers who want to lean on a long, stable price trend — the 30.4% year-over-year figure is drawn from just four closings.

If we were buying in Hildreth Back Bay today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 Hildreth Back Bay.

Best Buy
Buyers and sellers who need precise, comp-specific pricing rather than broad-market assumptions.
Biggest Risk
With only four closings behind it, the 30.4% year-over-year swing should be read cautiously, not as a guaranteed trend.
Sweet Spot
Buyers targeting the $632,500 median and ready to act the moment a listing appears.
Avoid If
You need a wide selection to compare — current active inventory is limited to four listings.

A market built on very few data points

Four active listings and four closings in the current window is a thin sample, and it shows up in the swings: prices here are up 30.4% year-over-year, a figure that looks dramatic on paper but is drawn from so few sales that it should be treated as directional, not definitive. A market heat score of 74 signals real competitive interest, but with this little inventory, that heat is competing over very few doors rather than a broad pool of comparable homes.

The 28.5-day median days on market tells you homes here, when they are priced right, do not linger. Paired with 12 months of supply, the picture is one of scarcity rather than softness — the buyer-leaning classification reflects how little is actively for sale relative to the pace of closings, not a market where sellers are struggling to find offers.

Why work with Momentum here

In a market with only four active listings, there is no room for guesswork on price. Momentum tracks the realmls feed closely enough to know what the last few closings actually looked like — condition, per-square-foot pricing, days on market — and builds an offer or listing strategy against that small, specific comp set rather than a broad zip-code average that would miss what is really happening in Hildreth Back Bay.

What it really costs to own in Hildreth Back Bay

The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.

Property taxCurrent owners' bills run a median of $7,555/yr across 6 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-10-20).
Home and flood insuranceThe average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Saint Johns County is $1,378/yr (977 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction.
Roof and ageMedian build year 1995 across 6 listings. An original roof here would be about 31 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails.
