What homes of your size have sold for in Samara Lakes

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 ($254 vs $161) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.

For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current Samara Lakes listings →

At Samara Lakes’s $367,500 median and St. Johns County’s adopted 13.47 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $4,950 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,430 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 Samara Lakes right now: what the record says

Current asking prices run a median $393,500 against the $367,500 recorded sold median (+7%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 1.6 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 29% of Samara Lakes’s listings are under contract, against 34% for ZIP 32092 and 29% for St. Johns County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information.
