Momentum Property Score
A rules-based composite of the objective indicators below — each computed from listing facts, public records, and recent nearby sales, not opinion.
How to read it: a higher score means more of these objective measures line up in a buyer’s favor — for example, priced competitively against recent nearby sales, lower carrying costs, or lower flood risk. A lower score means fewer do. It reflects only the indicators below — not the home’s quality, condition, or desirability, and nothing about who should live there.
Momentum Scores are objective, rules-based indicators computed from listing facts, public records, and recent nearby sales. They are not appraisals, valuations, investment advice, or judgments about a neighborhood or who should live there. Verify independently.

Pricing & market trend in Vista Cove
How this home's list $/sq ft compares with recent nearby closed sales, and how prices in the community have moved. Public-record reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of value.
This home's $/sq ft vs. nearby sales
Recent sold prices in this community
The Messtimate: $253,400 – $275,120
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.
Actual list price: $299,000 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 9% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
- Condition & updates — a renovated kitchen, new roof, or older interior finishes can swing value six figures. Sq ft can't see it.
- The lot — a premium waterfront, conservation, or cul-de-sac lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
- Outliers skew it — one flip or one distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
- Layout & beds/baths — two homes at 2,000 sq ft with 3/2 vs. 4/3 don't sell for the same number.
- Views & orientation — golf, water, or preserve views aren't in the square footage.
- Upgrades & systems — solar, pool, impact windows, new HVAC: real money, invisible to a calculator.
- Unpermitted or mismeasured sq ft — public records are often wrong, and unpermitted additions don't count.
- Carrying costs — CDD bonds, HOA dues, and flood-zone insurance change what a buyer will actually pay.
- Timing & concessions — the market moves monthly, and seller-paid rate buydowns hide the true price.
- School zoning & micro-location — one street over can mean a different school, and a different price.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
- This home: 60 days on market vs. a ~77-day neighborhood median
- 5 active listings competing in Vista Cove
- 1 under contract now
- 17% of for-sale inventory is currently under contract (under contract + pending, as a share of all for-sale inventory)
- ≈2.9 months of supply (one market-context metric; should not be used alone)
- Median sale price is up 62% over the last 107 months
- Homes here sell at about 96.5% of list price
- 21 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $299,000 ($206/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

This second-floor 3-bedroom, 2-bath condominium offers approximately 1,500 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space with tranquil marsh and water views from every window.

Vista Cove is known for its beautifully preserved setting, elegant clubhouse, heated pool, fitness center, riverfront fishing pier, and pet-friendly atmosphere welcoming two pets with no weight or breed restrictions.

Homeowners Insurance here is affordable - under $1100/month. Condo fees cover all external elements, while unit owners are responsible for their interiors and their own improvements. The campus of Vista Cove covers about 1/2 mile of the San Sebastian River, and 67 acres of river, marsh and forests.
Paths and boardwalks lead to the elegant clubhouse, the riverfront fishing pier and the gym and heated pool. 294 units occupy the campus and are carefully placed for ultimate privacy and beauty. Ten minutes to Historic downtown St.
Augustine, 45 minutes to Jacksonville International Airport, 15 minutes to shopping, hospitals, professional offices. St. Johns County has 42 miles of beautiful Atlantic Ocean Front - many state parks along this stretch: Fort Matanzas National Monument, Castillo de San Marcos, Anastasia State Park, Guana Tolomato Ocean and River Preserve to mention a few.
Many waterfront restaurants stretch from Marineland in the south to Ponte Vedra Beach on the northside. With the Cathedral Basilica and the wonderful history of the Sisters of St. Joseph, cobblestone streets, many historic homes, museums, Flagler College, Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Chapel, art galleries, and the famous Bridge of Lions, you will never tire of the beauty and majesty of Vista Cove and St.
Augustine.

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.
