Over the recorded series, Magnolia Preserve’s median sold price moved from $641,161 (2012) to $950,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-30) — +48% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $641,161. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Magnolia Preserve’s median moved +36% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2024 peak of $1,175,000, the current median stands at -19%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 3 to 27 closings a year (10-yr average 13.7). With roughly 13.7 closings a year, Magnolia Preserve’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.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 2005 and 2019 (median 2012); 4 of 4 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $114/mo; none of the 4 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 17 ft); the features listings here most often name are Clubhouse, Basketball Court, Fitness Center, Park, Children's Pool and Gated with Guard.

At Magnolia Preserve’s $950,000 median and St. Johns County’s adopted 13.47 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $12,800 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $12,280 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.
Current asking prices run a median $1,800,000 against the $950,000 recorded sold median (+89%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 4 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of Magnolia Preserve’s listings are under contract, against 28% for ZIP 32043 and 32% for St. Johns County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information. Momentum’s market-heat index for Magnolia Preserve reads 24/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +89% over the recorded sold median, a Magnolia Preserve 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.
