As of September 2026, the MLS records 2 closed sales in Cypress in Elkton, FL since 2008, the most recent in August 2025. Across Elkton as a whole, 6 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $382,000, 25 median days on market. At that median and St. Johns County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.47 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,150 ($4,630 with the full homestead exemption).
Cypress sits in Elkton, out on the rural western edge of St. Johns County. Pricing here is driven far more by lot, acreage, and the condition of the home than by any tight comp set — this is not a dense subdivision where units trade in a narrow band. Expect a wide spread from one property to the next, so the number that matters is the specific home in front of you, not a neighborhood average.
For buyers, that means patience and a willingness to underwrite each property on its own merits — well, septic, land, and structure all move the price. For sellers, condition and presentation carry more weight than they would in a cookie-cutter community, because there is less of a crowd of near-identical listings to anchor a buyer's expectation.
The 60-Second Overview
Cypress is a St. Johns County address without the coastal-corridor congestion — western Elkton, where lots run larger and the pace is rural rather than suburban.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

The Cypress buying strategy.
If we were buying in Cypress 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 Cypress.
The tradeoff of going west
The appeal of this part of St. Johns County is space and quiet, and the trade you make for it is distance. You are farther from the county's retail, employment, and interstate access than the eastern parts of the county, so commute tolerance is the real question before anything else.
Because homes out here vary so much in land and condition, the buying process is closer to evaluating individual properties than shopping a uniform inventory. Diligence on the physical systems — and an honest read on how far you are willing to drive — will tell you more than any headline figure.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Cypress. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A rural St. Johns County property is priced on specifics — land, systems, and condition — not on a neat comp grid, and that is exactly where local reads matter. We underwrite each listing on its own terms, flag what a wide-spread market can hide, and tell you plainly when a given property or the drive itself does not fit what you are after.
