Who has leverage right now
Leverage scores are derived from the Momentum Score (supply, demand, speed, pricing power, and trend). Right now the data favors neither side decisively.
- Prices — heavy supply keeps the pressure on sellers; softening is the path of least resistance.
- Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
- Negotiating power — buyers gain ground as 29% of inventory sits under contract.

The calls we’re making from today’s data
The sharpest 1-yr median swing among tracked communities. Thin samples can exaggerate swings — verify with a comp analysis before treating it as trend.
The most crowded shelf in the market. Sellers here are competing hardest — which means overpaying in this band is the most avoidable mistake in St. Augustine right now.
The tightest band — sellers in this range hold the most leverage, and buyers should walk in with financing done and terms clean.
Both sides have a case: buyers should negotiate on days-on-market, sellers should lean on the under-contract rate. Preparation, not the market, decides who wins a balanced tape.

The questions people actually ask
Should I buy a house in St. Augustine right now?
The data says conditions currently favor neither side decisively in St. Augustine — the Momentum Score reads 48/100 with 7.9 months of supply. For buyers that means preparation over hesitation: well-priced homes still move fast, but there is more room to negotiate than a year ago. The right timing always depends on your rate, your equity, and how long you plan to stay — not just the market.
Is St. Augustine becoming more affordable?
Yes, modestly — the median sale price in St. Augustine is $448,485, down 1.6% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 96.0% of asking price. Softening prices plus normal-length marketing times mean affordability is improving at the margin, though financing costs matter more than list prices for most monthly payments.
Where are prices falling fastest in St. Augustine?
Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are Buena Esperanza (-26%); Royal (-26%); North Beach (-20%). Note that community-level medians move on small sale counts — a few high- or low-end closings can swing them — so treat these as leads for a comp analysis, not verdicts.
Which St. Augustine neighborhoods are most competitive?
Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are Marsh Creek (7 days); Amelia Island (8 days); Ponce De Leon Hghts (10 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 48 days.
How does St. Augustine compare to the rest of St. Johns County?
St. Augustine's median of $448,485 runs 10% below the county-wide median of $497,500, and homes here take 48 days to go under contract versus 50 county-wide.
