Transcript
Celestina, in Fruit Cove, is a St. Johns County community where the median sold price over the last 12 months is 700,000 dollars, and homes take a median of 48 days to sell. Here's what that means if you're watching this one.
Celestina is a neighborhood in Fruit Cove, in St. Johns County. Over the last 10 years it has averaged about 41 sales a year, and 19 homes sold in the last 12 months. Every number in this video comes from the community page at move with momentum dot com, from realMLS and public records.
In the last 12 months, 19 homes sold at a median of 700,000 dollars. That's 228 dollars a square foot, below a 2023 peak of 245, at 95 point 2 percent of asking. Right now 6 homes are listed and 1 is pending.
14 percent of homes here are under contract, against 32 percent across St. Johns County, which typically means less competition for the homes that list. That's typical, not a promise. Homes here have sold at 95 point 2 percent of asking, against 96 percent for the county, so compare each home to recent closings, not to asking prices. Verify whether an HOA or a CDD applies.
Ask for the current tax bill, and remember that Florida resets the assessed value after a sale, so the seller's bill usually isn't what you'll pay. Of the homes listed or recently sold here, 16 of 16 report an HOA, at a median of 170 dollars a month, so ask what the dues cover, and whether a CDD assessment applies. Of 15 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100 percent sit outside the high-risk zone; still check the map by address, and get insurance quoted by address.
Get an email the moment new homes list: the alerts box is on the Celestina page at move with momentum dot com, updated every night. I'm Jon Brooks with Momentum Realty.

Clay school district says one-mill referendum renews, not raises, property tax
The Clay County school district says the referendum on the upcoming ballot renews the one-mill levy voters first approved in 2020 at the same rate. The money funds school law enforcement contracts and compensation to retain and attract teachers and support staff. A citizens' advisory committee reviews spending, and the district says non-renewal would leave a funding shortfall.
What it may mean for the marketThe outcome sets school operating funding and staffing support for Clay County without changing the current millage rate. The site is about 11 miles southwest of Celestina St Johns.

Another proposal of nearly 1,200 acres and about 15,000 homes south of St. Augustine was approved in August, then denied 3-2 on Sept. 28. St. Johns County has received 16 applications under the law.
What it may mean for the marketThe outcome of these applications will shape how much new housing supply can be added on rural land in the county. The site is about 10 miles northeast of Celestina St Johns.

The Celestina buying strategy.
If we were buying in Celestina 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 Celestina.
A closer look at the Celestina market
At a median of $228 per square foot, Celestina prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.
Inventory runs at 4.2 months of supply, a balanced market and the trailing-12-month median down 7% year over year. Homes that do trade take a median 48 days on market, useful leverage on any listing that has lingered.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Celestina. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
