Courtside Villas sits in Fernandina Beach with a median price near $505,000 and a median around $346 per square foot. That per-foot figure is the tell here: in a villa community, price tracks condition, layout, and what has been updated far more than raw footage, so two homes at the same size can land well apart depending on how they show.
The median days on market is 95 — call it just over three months to a deal. That is a patient market, not a frantic one. Sellers should price to the condition of the specific unit and expect to wait; buyers have room to read a listing carefully rather than react. With only three closings in the window, treat every comp individually rather than assuming a clean trend.
The 60-Second Overview
Courtside Villas market snapshot (as of August 21, 2026): the median sale price is about $492K ($337 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 80 days on market for closed sales.
A small villa community in Fernandina Beach where the market moves deliberately and price is driven more by the condition and finish of the individual home than by square footage alone.

The Courtside Villas buying strategy.
If we were buying in Courtside Villas 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 Courtside Villas.
Reading a thin, condition-driven market
With just three closings in the measured window, the numbers describe a narrow slice, not a deep pool. A single well-renovated villa or a single tired one can move the median meaningfully, so the $505,000 figure is a starting reference point, not a fixed value for every door. The right approach is unit-by-unit: what has been updated, how it lives, and how it compares to whatever is actively listed alongside it.
The 95-day median is the more durable signal. It tells you this is not a market where mispriced listings get bailed out by urgency. Homes that show well and are priced to their actual condition transact; those that lean on an optimistic number tend to sit. For a buyer, that pace is leverage. For a seller, it is a reminder that presentation and pricing do the work here, not momentum.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Courtside Villas. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community this thin on closings, the median only gets you in the room — the value is in judging one villa against another on condition, layout, and updates. We walk the specific unit, weigh it against what is actually active and what actually sold, and price or negotiate to that, not to a headline number. In a market running just over three months to a sale, that discipline is what separates a clean deal from a listing that lingers.
