This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
$373,600the mess$474,472
Actual list price: $489,900 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen or new roof vs. dated finishes can swing value six figures; sq ft can't see it.
The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
This home: 83 days on market vs. a 142-day community median
1 active listing competing, 1 under contract
≈3.0 months of supply
4 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $489,900 ($262/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Flagler County advances 35 million dollar beach renourishment
Flagler County is working to award a contract for a roughly 35 million dollar beach renourishment project covering about 5.5 miles of northern county shoreline from Flagler Beach to Varn Park. The project, largely funded by state and FEMA grants, faces a tight deadline with some property easements still unsigned, and a final decision was scheduled for the August 3, 2026 commission meeting.
Why it matters: A large beach renourishment effort would rebuild eroded shoreline and dune systems and help protect the coastal stretch of State Road A1A, supporting the stability of oceanfront property and public beach access. The site is about 4 miles east of Hidden Lakes Palm Coast.
Flagler County adopts one year data center moratorium
Flagler County commissioners unanimously adopted a one year moratorium on new data center siting in unincorporated areas at their July 13, 2026 meeting. Officials said the pause allows staff to develop zoning and land use standards for the emerging industry.
Why it matters: A one year pause on new data center siting in unincorporated areas holds large industrial land uses in place while the county drafts zoning and land use standards, keeping the current pattern of available industrial and commercial land unchanged for now. The site is about 5 miles southwest of Hidden Lakes Palm Coast.
Palm Coast approves an 82,000-square-foot warehouse complex where Alleima will expand
Palm Coast approved a two-building, 82,000-square-foot warehouse complex on 7.5 acres at 5 Commerce Boulevard in June 2026. Manufacturer Alleima will occupy one building and add 30 to 50 employees, with the second building marketed to other industrial tenants.
Why it matters: New industrial space and manufacturing jobs in Palm Coast strengthen the local employment base, a factor that can support housing demand nearby. The site is about 3 miles west of Hidden Lakes Palm Coast.
Palm Coast approves a 62,000-square-foot medical office building on Palm Harbor Parkway
Palm Coast also approved a two-story, 62,000-square-foot medical office building with 43 suites at 1195 Palm Harbor Parkway in June 2026. The developers project about 120 jobs when the building is fully leased.
Why it matters: A new medical office complex adds healthcare capacity and professional jobs in Palm Coast, an amenity and employment factor that can support nearby housing demand. The site is about 6 miles north of Hidden Lakes Palm Coast.

Answered before you ask
Frequently asked questions
Why might my property taxes differ from the current owner's?
Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment can be re-set after a sale. As a result a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Where does the flood-zone information come from?
The flood designation shown (Zone X) comes from the FEMA flood map and is provided for general information. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
