Jon's Current Read

Davis Shores prices are being set by a $530,000 median, which works out to roughly $348 per square foot as of the most recent snapshot (2026-07-11) — a figure that has more than doubled since 2012, up 111% over that stretch. That long climb has cooled recently: the median price is down 6.2% year over year, which reads as a market recalibrating after a long run rather than one in free-fall.

For sellers, that means pricing has to reflect current demand, not last year's comps. With 17 active listings, 21 closings in the recent window, a median 28 days on market, and 10.2 months of supply, Davis Shores sits in buyer-leaning territory — sellers who price sharply still move properties in under a month, but overpriced homes will sit. For buyers, the market heat score of 47 and the elevated months-of-supply figure translate into real negotiating room that did not exist here a year or two ago.

The 60-Second Overview

Davis Shores market snapshot (as of October 1, 2026): the median sale price is about $500K ($332 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 28 days on market for closed sales, and 11.4 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market. The trailing-12-month median is down 10% from the prior 12 months and up 85% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (23 closings in the current window).

In ZIP 32080 (St. Augustine), 483 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $468K ($323/sq ft), down 6.1% year over year, with a median 46 days on market. Right now 123 active and 32 pending listings put supply at about 4.2 months — a balanced market. See the live ZIP 32080 housing market and the St. Johns County market.

County records show 40 qualified sales in Davis Shores across 2024–2025 (30 in 2024, 10 in 2025), median $545,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Flood zones in Davis Shores: of 29 listing addresses checked against the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, 7% sit outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone X); 93% are in an A-series high-risk zone where flood insurance is required with a federally backed mortgage. Individual parcels vary — verify any specific address at msc.fema.gov. See flood zones by neighborhood in St. Augustine.

Davis Shores is a community of 397 homes in St. Augustine, St. Johns County, built between 1922 and 2024 (median 1964.0), with a median living area of about 1,924 square feet. 58% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Davis Shores is a St. Johns County submarket tracked through RealMLS where the numbers point two directions at once: strong appreciation since 2012 paired with a near-term pullback that has shifted leverage back toward buyers.

Best for

  • Buyers with room to negotiate on price who can move at the current 28-day-median pace.
  • Buyers comfortable entering near the $530,000 median with a longer hold horizon to capture further appreciation.
  • Move-up buyers targeting an established St. Johns County location with a long appreciation track record.

Probably not for

  • Sellers who need to price at last year's levels rather than today's -6.2%-adjusted market.
  • Buyers expecting a fast, competitive-bidding close in a market carrying 10.2 months of supply.
  • Anyone relying on an automated price estimate instead of a current, agent-prepared valuation.

If we were buying in Davis Shores 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

Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.

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 Davis Shores.

Best Buy
Buyers who want negotiating room in a St. Johns County submarket with a long track record of appreciation.
Biggest Risk
A -6.2% year-over-year price shift means a purchase made at last year's levels can look expensive fast.
Sweet Spot
Listings priced near the $530,000 median and the $348-per-square-foot mark are still moving in about a month.
Avoid If
Overpriced listings in this market should expect to sit well past the 28-day median.

A Buyer-Leaning Market, Not a Soft One

The 10.2 months of supply is the number that matters most right now — supply that far above typical balance points usually favors buyers, and Davis Shores is well past that threshold. Combined with a market heat score of 47 and only 17 active listings against 21 recent closings, the math describes a market with real activity but no urgency baked in.

The 28-day median days-on-market figure tells the rest of the story: homes priced to the moment are still moving in under a month, but the -6.2% year-over-year change in median price shows the ceiling has come down from where it sat twelve months ago. Zoom out, though, and the picture since 2012 — up 111% — is a market that has absorbed a real correction and remains well above where it started.
