Momentum Housing Data · Relocation
Everything below is computed from recorded sales in 15 St. Augustine communities — what homes actually cost, where the market is actually transacting, and the cost lines relocation calculators miss. No lifestyle scoring; you know what you like, and the data covers the rest.

The ten most active communities by recorded closings — the full four-way ranking is on the data-ranked neighborhoods page.
Florida has no state income tax, but homeownership carries three lines that surprise arrivals. Insurance: county-by-county costs (finally falling — rates decreased in 51 of 67 counties in 2026) are on our insurance table. CDD assessments: most newer master-planned communities bill $1,300–$4,200+/yr on the tax bill on top of HOA — how that works, with verified per-village tables. Property taxes: your first full-year bill is set by YOUR purchase price, not the previous owner’s capped assessment — budget from the millage, not from what the seller was paying. Run the whole stack in the true-cost calculator.
The recorded 12 months were the most buyer-leaning stretch in years — prices fell in 13 of Florida’s 14 largest counties while volume held. What that means for a relocator: negotiating room exists, but so does the temptation to overpay for move-in-ready convenience under time pressure. The medians above are the anchor; the full statewide picture is on the buyer data page.
Part of the St. Augustine real estate guide: live inventory, the communities with the most sales, and every St. Augustine page we publish.
Across 15 St. Augustine communities with meaningful sales volume, community median sold prices run from about $286,000 to $745,000 (10th-90th percentile), with the typical community at $504,500 - from recorded MLS closings, refreshed as the index rebuilds. Every community's own median is on its linked page.
Three data points beyond the home price: homeowners insurance varies by county (and fell in 51 of 67 Florida counties in 2026); many newer communities carry CDD assessments of $1,300-$4,200+/yr on the tax bill; and your property tax resets to your purchase price rather than inheriting the seller's capped bill. This page links verified tables for each.
