What's actually happening in St. Augustine and St. Johns County right now. Median sale price, days on market, historic district vs beach vs World Golf Village breakdown, year-over-year trends. Real numbers from Redfin and St. Johns County public records, refreshed quarterly.
The St. Augustine median sale price sits around $440,000, roughly 13 percent above the Jacksonville MSA median of $390,000 and meaningfully above adjacent coastal markets like Palm Coast ($365K) and Daytona Beach ($315K). The premium reflects three things. St. Johns County school district performance, historic district scarcity, and proximity to both Jacksonville employment and Atlantic Ocean beaches.
Days on market runs around 76, longer than Jacksonville's 43 but materially shorter than Palm Coast (104) or Daytona Beach (87). Months of supply at 2.7 is the tightest of any Northeast Florida coastal market. Sold-to-list ratio holds at 97.5 percent, meaning the typical St. Augustine seller still captures more than 97 percent of list price.
The narrative on the ground matches the data. Well-priced and well-presented homes still go under contract within 30 to 60 days. Aspirationally priced homes sit past 100 days and typically require one or two reductions before getting an offer. The "test the market with a high price" strategy that worked in 2021-2022 doesn't work in 2026. Buyers are informed and selective.
St. Augustine isn't one market. The historic district carries different dynamics than the beach communities, which carry different dynamics than the World Golf Village and inland west submarkets. The table below breaks the broader St. Augustine area into its primary segments.
| Submarket | Median price | DOM | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Historic District (32084) | $600K+ | ~60 | Architectural scarcity, premium pricing |
| Anastasia Island / St. Augustine Beach (32080) | $550K-$750K | ~75 | Ocean proximity, condo + SFR mix |
| World Golf Village (32092) | $475,000 | ~80 | Newer construction, golf community amenities |
| St. Augustine South / Shores (32086) | $385,000 | ~90 | More affordable, older housing stock |
| Broader St. Johns County | $490,000 | 100 | Includes Ponte Vedra, Nocatee corridor |
The Historic District commands the strongest pricing in the metro because supply is structurally limited. You cannot build new construction inside the historic district envelope. Anastasia Island and St. Augustine Beach run a wider range due to property-type mix (oceanfront condos vs SFR cottages vs newer beach builds). World Golf Village offers the best new-construction value in the area for buyers prioritizing modern systems over walkability or beach access.
St. Augustine has moderated less dramatically than Palm Coast or Daytona Beach, but the direction is consistent across every metric. Prices slightly down, days on market extended, and inventory expanding. The table below compares early 2026 against the same period one year prior.
| Metric | Early 2026 | Early 2025 | YoY change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $440,000 | $451,000 | −2.4% |
| Median days on market | 76 | 62 | +22% |
| Months of supply | 2.7 | 2.1 | +29% |
| Sold-to-list ratio | 97.5% | 98.8% | −1.3 pp |
| Sold over list (share) | ~10% | ~22% | −55% |
The largest single shift is the share of homes selling above list. A year ago, roughly 1 in 5 St. Augustine homes closed above asking. Today that's closer to 1 in 10. Bidding-war conditions are still possible on historic district inventory and on well-priced Anastasia Island properties, but they're no longer the default outcome.
St. Augustine sits between Jacksonville's beach communities to the north and the Palm Coast / Daytona Beach markets to the south. The table below shows where it lands relative to neighboring metros.
| Market | Median price | DOM | MoS | Sold/list |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| St. Augustine | $440,000 | 76 | 2.7 | 97.5% |
| Ponte Vedra (32082 SFR) | $1,089,000 | 51 | 2.5 | 95% |
| Jacksonville MSA | $390,000 | 43 | 3.8 | 97.5% |
| Palm Coast | $365,000 | 104 | 2.8 | 97% |
| Daytona Beach | $315,000 | 87 | 3.4 | 95% |
St. Augustine is the strongest coastal market we cover south of Ponte Vedra. Months of supply is the tightest. Days on market is shorter than Palm Coast or Daytona despite the higher median price. The St. Johns County school district premium continues to attract families relocating from the Jacksonville and broader Northeast Florida markets, and out-of-state retiree demand remains stronger here than in markets further south.
If you're shopping the St. Augustine historic district, expect to compete on architecturally significant homes. Limited supply and protected zoning mean these homes still attract multiple-offer scenarios. For Anastasia Island condos, follow the same diligence as Daytona Beach condos. Reserve study, milestone inspection status, and special assessment overhang all matter.
St. Augustine metrics are aggregated from Redfin's St. Augustine city-level housing market data, Movoto market trend reports, St. Johns County Property Appraiser public records, and Florida Realtors monthly statistical releases. Where sources report different medians for different time windows, the rolling six-month median is reported. Submarket-level data (Historic District, Anastasia Island, WGV, St. Augustine South) is derived from the underlying MLS transactional data by zip code.

St. Augustine property type and submarket mix differs meaningfully from county-wide St. Johns County metrics. The county includes Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, and the broader World Golf Village corridor, all of which run at materially different price points. We report city-of-St.-Augustine metrics rather than county-wide for this page. See our full methodology page for the complete data and citation policy.
Momentum has agents who close in the Historic District, on Anastasia Island, in World Golf Village, and across the broader St. Johns County market. If you're buying or selling here, talk to someone who knows the streets and the submarket dynamics block by block.
