Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment doesn’t transfer to a new buyer.

The Messtimate™

The Messtimate

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.

$727,610the mess$923,312

Actual list price: $825,000 — 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 1955 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
  • 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:

  • 226 active listings competing, 49 under contract

For reference, this home is listed at $825,000 ($329/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 125 KEY Road, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1955 (71 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
  • The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
  • FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
  • Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Putnam County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
  • Listed living area is 2,509 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
  • Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
  • Review permit history with the county.
  • Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $9,240/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
  • Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Frequently asked questions

How big is 125 KEY Road and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 125 KEY Road was built in 1955 and has 2,509 sq ft of living area, 5 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 125 KEY Road in?

125 KEY Road is in Metes & Bounds in Palatka, Putnam County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Metes & Bounds from the same MLS data.

Does 125 KEY Road have an HOA?

The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.

Why might property taxes on 125 KEY Road differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $9,240 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price. Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment resets after a sale, so 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.

Is 125 KEY Road in a flood zone?

The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; 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.
