Jon's Read · written July 14, 2026

Crescent Key's price picture comes down to $584,500 at a median of $197.89 per square foot, in a St. Augustine, St. Johns County pocket where the feed shows only 5 closings in the current window. With a sample that thin, the median is doing a lot of work off very few data points, so treat it as a directional marker rather than a precise line.

Months of supply sits at 4.8 with just 2 active listings, and the feed labels the posture balanced with a market heat score of 48. Days on market at 40 says homes here aren't moving on impulse. For a seller, that argues for pricing to the comparable evidence rather than to the year-over-year swing; for a buyer, it means there's room to negotiate terms and timeline rather than racing another offer.

Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($365K) is down 6.0% from the prior 12 months ($388K). With about 22 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending October 18.

The 60-Second Overview

Crescent Key market snapshot (as of October 18, 2026): the median sale price is about $365K ($196 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 91 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is down 6% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (5 closings in the current window).

Crescent Key is a community of 216 homes in St. Augustine, St. Johns County, built between 2016 and 2018 (median 2017.0), with a median living area of about 2,098 square feet. 72% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Crescent Key is a small St. Augustine community in St. Johns County where activity has been light enough recently that a single closing can shift the reported median, so read any one statistic here alongside the others rather than on its own.

Best for

  • Buyers comfortable near the $584,500 median who are working with limited competing inventory to compare against.
  • Sellers who can price to the small comparable set rather than to a single standout closing.
  • Buyers or sellers with flexible timelines, given a 40-day median days on market.

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want a wide active inventory to shop before deciding, given only 2 current listings.
  • Anyone relying on the 51% year-over-year figure as a stable trend rather than a small-sample swing.
  • Sellers expecting a fast, competitive-bid sale in well under the 40-day median.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending October 18 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($365K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($388K) IS the -6.0% one-year change.

Windows contain 4 to 74 sales each (5 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Source: Data provided by realMLS. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

If we were buying in Crescent Key today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 Crescent Key.

Best Buy
Buyers and sellers who want a direct read on a St. Augustine community where the public stats are thin.
Biggest Risk
With only 5 closings and 2 active listings, the median price and the 51% year-over-year figure can swing hard on one sale.
Sweet Spot
A 40-day median days on market suggests room to negotiate timeline and terms rather than compete against multiple offers.
Avoid If
Buyers who need a large active pool to compare against should look elsewhere while inventory sits at 2 listings.

A market defined by thin volume

The realmls feed shows just 2 active listings and 5 closings in the current window for Crescent Key, as of 2026-07-11. That's a small enough count that the year-over-year change of 51% is more a reflection of which homes happened to sell than a stable trend line, and the same caution applies to the $584,500 median and the $197.89 median price per square foot.

Months of supply at 4.8 and a market heat score of 48 both land the community in the feed's balanced band, neither tilted toward sellers nor buyers. At a 40-day median days on market, listings here are getting some exposure before they go under contract, which is consistent with a market that isn't under acute pressure in either direction.

Why work with Momentum here

When a community's numbers are built on 5 closings and 2 active listings, the aggregate stats can only tell you so much — the difference between a fair offer and an overpay is in the specifics of each listing. Momentum tracks the realmls feed for Crescent Key directly and reads each new closing or listing against the existing small sample, rather than leaning on a year-over-year percentage that a single sale can swing.
