Dolphin Cove Home Values: What Homes Actually Sell For

Dolphin Cove (Ponte Vedra Beach, FL): 13 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-30, a 15-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

In the current window, sellers accepted a median 93.4% of original asking; the median sale took 59 days (window ending 2026-08-30).

The 15-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, Dolphin Cove’s median sold price moved from $170,000 (2012) to $520,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-30) — +206% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in Dolphin Cove, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2012 at $170,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Dolphin Cove’s median moved +75% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2024 peak of $605,000, the current median stands at -14%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 9 to 20 closings a year (10-yr average 13.8). With roughly 13.8 closings a year, Dolphin Cove’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.

Where Dolphin Cove sales actually landed, 2024–2026

Of the 33 recorded Dolphin Cove closings since 2024, half landed between $482,500 and $629,900 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $350,000 and the highest $830,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

What homes of your size have sold for in Dolphin Cove

The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($395 vs $333) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.

The Dolphin Cove housing stock, from the live feed

From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1973 and 1981 (median 1978); 3 of the current listings state there is no HOA; none of the 14 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 16 ft).

At Dolphin Cove’s $520,000 median and St. Johns County’s adopted 13.47 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,000 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,490 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 St. Johns County tax page.

Selling in Dolphin Cove right now: what the record says

Current asking prices run a median $625,000 against the $520,000 recorded sold median (+20%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 2 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 50% of Dolphin Cove’s listings are under contract, against 28% for ZIP 32082 and 32% for St. Johns County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Momentum’s market-heat index for Dolphin Cove reads 19/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).

With asking prices running +20% over the recorded sold median, a Dolphin Cove listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.

How Dolphin Cove compares with its neighbors

Communities buyers shopping Dolphin Cove are also weighing (nearest by map distance), each on its own recorded 12-month closings. A median well above the neighbors is a ceiling to price against; well below is where the value argument lives.
