Market Heat
Amherst Gardens sits in Satellite Beach, and with no shared amenities pulling weight, price here is a function of the home itself — square footage, condition, and how close it lands to the coast. At a median of $485,000 and roughly $321 per square foot, you are paying for barrier-island location and the state of the individual house, not a clubhouse or gated entry. Expect a wide spread on what any given listing asks, driven mostly by renovation level.
The posture right now is soft but not slow. Median days on market is 16 — homes that are priced right move — but the market heat score of 38 and a year-over-year median down 15.7% tell you buyers have regained leverage. Sellers who anchor to last year's numbers will sit; buyers have room to negotiate on anything that lingers or shows deferred condition.

The 60-Second Overview
Amherst Gardens market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $485K ($321 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 16 days on market for closed sales.

This is a location-and-condition market on the Satellite Beach barrier island, not an amenity story — there are no community facilities identified in current listings, so the house and its proximity to the coast carry the value.
Who Amherst Gardens is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a coastal Satellite Beach location who value the house and its proximity over shared facilities
- Value-focused buyers ready to negotiate on listings that have lingered in a down year
- Renovation-minded buyers who can read condition and price accordingly
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a clubhouse, pool, or gated community — none are identified in current listings
- Sellers unwilling to price below last year's numbers in a market down 15.7% year-over-year
- Anyone needing certainty from comps in a market this thin on recent closings
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 15 of each year, from record-level Space Coast MLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($485K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($575K) IS the -15.7% one-year change.
Windows contain 6 to 21 sales each (7 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Based on information from the Space Coast MLS for the period %s through %s. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
The Amherst Gardens buying strategy.
If we were buying in Amherst Gardens today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Amherst Gardens.
Reading a softening coastal market
The two numbers to hold together are the 15.7% year-over-year drop and the longer arc — up 172% since 2012. The long climb tells you why owners here feel the pricing is durable; the recent pullback tells you the near-term momentum has reversed. For a buyer, that gap is the opportunity: motivated sellers still carry a large paper gain and can afford to meet the market.
With a small closings window — seven recent sales — individual transactions swing the median hard, so treat any single comp with caution. The 16-day median suggests correctly priced, move-in-ready homes still clear quickly, while overpriced or dated listings are where the current softness shows up most. Condition is the fault line.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Amherst Gardens. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here
In a thin-volume market where a handful of sales set the median and prices are down year-over-year, the wrong comp can cost real money on either side. We price to condition and to the current posture — not to last year's peak — and on the buy side we know which listings have been sitting long enough to give you leverage.
