Which way this market is moving
Active inventory across Clay County has fallen over the past year (-6%). About 30% of county listings currently carry a price cut, which tells you how much negotiating room the average seller has already conceded. A strong local agent will reconcile these numbers with what is happening on your exact street before recommending a price.
What it costs to own in Mcrae Landing
On a median-priced Mcrae Landing home ($299,000), property taxes at Clay County’s typical millage of 15.053 run roughly $3,748 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.
The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Clay County is about $1,189 a year (April 2026 filings); private-market quotes differ, and a good agent will tell you which carriers are actually writing here.
Run the real numbers before you commit: what selling nets you, whether your Save Our Homes benefit moves with you, and rent vs buy in Clay County.
At Mcrae Landing’s $299,000 median and Clay County’s adopted 15.05 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,500 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,900 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Clay County tax page.
Rents and the investor math
Typical asking rent across Clay County sits near $1,863 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 1.5% year over year. County-level yield math pencils to roughly a 6.62% cap rate on typical numbers, before expenses. Home prices run about 3.92x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside. If you are weighing an investment purchase in Mcrae Landing, ask your agent for community-level rent comps rather than county averages — the spread between communities is wide.
Who is moving to Clay County, and what they earn
The county gained a net 3,611 people in the latest IRS county-migration year. Households moving IN average $65,179 in income versus $61,245 for those moving out — movers arriving here earn more than those leaving, which shapes what sellers can ask and what buyers compete against. The biggest out-of-state feeder markets are CA, VA, NY. Median household income in Clay County has grown about 37% since 2018 ($86,094 now). Population is up about 8% over the same stretch. An agent who knows these flows can tell you which way demand in Mcrae Landing is actually pointing, not just where prices have been.
Sources: IRS SOI county-to-county migration; U.S. Census income and population estimates. County-level data for context; community demand varies within the county.
School context you can verify: the Clay County school district earned a district grade of A from the Florida Department of Education (2025-26) and has held an A since 2018. Attendance zones vary by address, so confirm the zoned schools for any specific home with the district.

If you’re buying in Mcrae Landing
Mcrae Landing is balanced enough that discipline wins: set your ceiling before you tour, use inspections seriously, and lean on your agent’s comps rather than list prices. Negotiate concessions where the data supports it.
If you’re selling in Mcrae Landing
In a balanced Mcrae Landing market, accurate pricing plus presentation beats gamesmanship. Ask prospective listing agents to walk through their comp selection — how they price is how they will defend your price to an appraiser.
Questions to ask before you hire a Mcrae Landing agent
- How many homes have you sold in or near Mcrae Landing in the last year — the community recorded 3?
- How would you price my home against the $148 per square foot Mcrae Landing closings have averaged?
- Homes here have been taking about 42 days to go under contract — what is your plan for the first two weeks?
- How do you handle negotiations, inspections, and appraisal gaps?
- How and how often will you communicate with me?

Why community expertise matters in Mcrae Landing

Top listing agents vs. buyer’s agents in Mcrae Landing
If you’re selling in Mcrae Landing, a top listing agent’s pricing, staging, and marketing are what win top dollar — the same skills behind a strong home sale.
