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.

$1,186,495the mess$1,510,385

Actual list price: $1,350,000 — 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 1999 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.
  • The pool — a private pool carries cost and value that living area doesn't capture.

And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:

  • 179 active listings competing, 83 under contract

For reference, this home is listed at $1,350,000 ($408/sq ft) — a number set with analysis a Messtimate can't do.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 5566 DON MANUEL Road, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1999 (27 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 St. Johns County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
  • Private pool: confirm the barrier or alarm meets the state residential pool safety code and ask for pump, heater, and resurfacing records.
  • Listed living area is 3,305 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 $11,610/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 5566 DON MANUEL Road and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 5566 DON MANUEL Road was built in 1999 and has 3,305 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 3.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 5566 DON MANUEL Road in?

5566 DON MANUEL Road is in Metes & Bounds in Elkton, St. Johns 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 5566 DON MANUEL 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 5566 DON MANUEL Road differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $11,610 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 5566 DON MANUEL 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.
