Melrose Landing (Hawthorne, FL): 8 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-30, a 9-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

Over the recorded series, Melrose Landing’s median sold price moved from $74,250 (2014) to $265,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-30) — +257% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2014 at $74,250. Against the 2023 peak of $277,500, the current median stands at -5%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 13 closings a year (10-yr average 6.1). With roughly 6.1 closings a year, Melrose Landing’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.
Of the 18 recorded Melrose Landing closings since 2024, half landed between $219,850 and $312,500 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $155,000 and the highest $411,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $175,000 | 2 (11%) | |
| $175,000 – $233,333 | 6 (33%) | |
| $233,333 – $291,667 | 5 (28%) | |
| $291,667 – $350,000 | 2 (11%) | |
| None and up | 3 (17%) |
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 ($218 vs $169) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 600–1,439 sq ft | $218 | $221,500 | $159,900 – $270,000 | 6 |
| Mid-size homes 1,495–1,620 sq ft | $156 | $246,000 | $155,000 – $365,000 | 6 |
| Larger homes 1,672–2,280 sq ft | $169 | $327,500 | $183,000 – $411,000 | 6 |
At Melrose Landing’s $265,000 median and Putnam County’s adopted 16.89 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,470 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $3,800 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 Putnam County tax page.
Momentum’s market-heat index for Melrose Landing reads 49/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
