Waterford Lakes (St. Augustine, FL): 5 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-30, a 5-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 98.5% of original asking; the median sale took 58 days (window ending 2026-08-30).

Over the recorded series, Waterford Lakes’s median sold price moved from $347,990 (2022) to $259,900 (12 months ending 2026-08-30) — -25% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
Of the 57 recorded Waterford Lakes closings since 2024, half landed between $298,990 and $353,990 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $249,000 and the highest $395,990. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

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 ($234 vs $208) — 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 1,210–1,442 sq ft | $234 | $286,990 | $249,000 – $335,990 | 19 |
| Mid-size homes 1,442–1,722 sq ft | $214 | $321,990 | $295,000 – $351,990 | 19 |
| Larger homes 1,722–1,795 sq ft | $208 | $357,490 | $348,990 – $395,990 | 19 |
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: 10 active listings (plus 1 pending) asking from $245,000 to $354,000, median $320,000; 5 of 10 have been on the market over 60 days (median 59 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 2022 and 2024 (median 2023); 16 of 16 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $127/mo; none of the 14 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 23 ft); the features listings here most often name are Fitness Center, Gated, Clubhouse, Security Gate, Playground and Children's Pool. 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 Waterford Lakes listings →
At Waterford Lakes’s $259,900 median and St. Johns County’s adopted 13.47 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $3,500 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $2,980 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 $325,000 against the $259,900 recorded sold median (+25%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 26.4 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 8% of Waterford Lakes’s listings are under contract, against 38% for ZIP 32092 and 32% for St. Johns County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information.
With asking prices running +25% over the recorded sold median, a Waterford Lakes 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.
