At $265.01 per square foot on a $640,000 median, the per-square-foot number is what tells the real story here — it's a moderate rate applied to a large home, not a premium rate applied to a small one. With a median build year of 2020 and a range running from 2006 to 2024, buyers are largely looking at newer construction, which shifts the diligence conversation away from 'what needs replacing' and toward confirming builder, warranty status, and any post-certificate-of-occupancy work.

The ownership picture is worth sitting with: only 39.5% of homes here carry a homestead exemption, meaning a majority of the 21 homes are not owner-occupied primary residences. That mix — likely a blend of second homes and investment holds — is common in gated, larger-lot communities near the coast, but it also means HOA rules on leasing and guest access matter more here than in a typical owner-occupied subdivision. Security Gate is the amenity on record; confirm current gate operation, access protocols, and any other amenities directly with the HOA, since MLS-reported amenities can lag what's actually in place.

With only 21 homes and a single active listing at any given time, Amelia Bay Estates is not a community where you can lean on a big comparable set — pricing and negotiating leverage come from tracking closings as they happen and knowing how the buyer-leaning market band and 84-day median time on market actually play out deal by deal. Momentum works this kind of low-volume, higher-value community by verifying HOA specifics — gate access, leasing rules, amenity status — before a buyer or seller commits, rather than relying on what's listed in the MLS record.

Confirm the current HOA dues, exactly what they cover, and any CDD bond or special assessment for a specific address before you offer.
