Over the recorded series, Palm Valley Gardens’s median sold price moved from $252,500 (2012) to $1,857,500 (12 months ending 2026-08-30) — +636% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $252,500. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Palm Valley Gardens’s median moved +53% from 2019 to 2022. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 3 to 9 closings a year (10-yr average 5.7). With roughly 5.7 closings a year, Palm Valley Gardens’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 15 recorded Palm Valley Gardens closings since 2024, half landed between $875,000 and $2,112,500 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $650,000 and the highest $3,030,000. 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 $750,000 | 1 (7%) | |
| $750,000 – $1,300,000 | 4 (27%) | |
| $1,300,000 – $1,850,000 | 4 (27%) | |
| $1,850,000 – $2,400,000 | 4 (27%) | |
| None and up | 2 (13%) |
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 ($800 vs $529) — 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 736–1,164 sq ft | $800 | $850,000 | $750,000 – $1,347,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 1,820–3,132 sq ft | $640 | $1,815,000 | $650,000 – $2,500,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 3,518–4,689 sq ft | $529 | $2,250,000 | $1,750,000 – $3,030,000 | 5 |

At Palm Valley Gardens’s $1,857,500 median and St. Johns County’s adopted 13.47 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $25,020 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $24,500 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 $2,395,000 against the $1,857,500 recorded sold median (+29%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 6 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 0% of Palm Valley Gardens’s listings are under contract, against 28% for ZIP 32082 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 Palm Valley Gardens reads 38/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +29% over the recorded sold median, a Palm Valley Gardens 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.
