Ninety-nine homes make up St Johns River Estates in DeBary, with construction dates spanning 1972 to 2024 and a median year built of 2002. That's a wide build range for a community this size, which means condition, layout, and finish level do more to set a home's position in the market here than any single construction era would. The median living area comes in at 2,154.5 square feet — a mid-size footprint, not a compact starter plan or an oversized build.
Right now there's nothing to compare against directly: active listings sat at zero as of July 12, 2026. For a seller, that's effectively no on-market competition inside the community — whatever lists next sets the immediate reference point. For a buyer, it means the useful work happens before a listing appears, watching for new activity rather than shopping an existing pool of homes. Ownership here also leans owner-occupied, with 65.6% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, which typically points to steadier turnover than a market with heavy investor or seasonal-use activity.
The 60-Second Overview
St Johns River Estates is a Volusia County community of 99 homes in DeBary, with construction dates running from 1972 to 2024 and a median year built of 2002 — a mix of older and newer builds rather than a single-phase subdivision, on a median footprint of 2,154.5 square feet.

Who St Johns River Estates is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a mid-size home (median 2,154.5 sq ft) in DeBary who are flexible on build vintage across the 1972-to-2024 range.
- Buyers willing to watch for new listings in a market currently showing zero active inventory and move quickly once one surfaces.
- Buyers who don't need a packaged HOA amenity list and are fine arranging recreation independently.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need several active listings to compare side by side before deciding — there's currently nothing on the market here.
- Buyers set on a single, consistent build era rather than a spread running from 1972 to 2024.
- Buyers who require a clubhouse, pool, or other identified community amenity as part of the purchase.

The St Johns River Estates buying strategy.
If we were buying in St Johns River Estates 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 St Johns River Estates.
A Wide Build Range in a Small Footprint
Ninety-nine homes span construction dates from 1972 to 2024, with a median year built of 2002. That's an unusually broad range for a community of this size, and it means two homes here can differ substantially in systems, finishes, and layout even sitting on the same street. The median living area lands at 2,154.5 square feet, a size profile that sits squarely in the mid-size range rather than at either extreme.
Current MLS data shows no identified community amenities tied to St Johns River Estates — no clubhouse, pool, or shared recreation package in what we track. Buyers shouldn't assume an HOA amenity bundle here without confirming it directly. Inventory compounds the picture: active listings stood at zero as of July 12, 2026, meaning there's currently no active home to walk through or benchmark a value against inside the community itself.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in St Johns River Estates. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
