Market Heat
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.

Who Davis Shores is best for.
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.
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 14 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($540K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($560K) IS the -3.6% one-year change.
Windows contain 14 to 57 sales each (20 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.

The Davis Shores buying strategy.
If we were buying in Davis Shores 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.
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.
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 Davis Shores.
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.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Davis Shores. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (4.6). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +102% since 2012; Recent Direction -3.6% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 9.0 months of supply; Pricing Power 93.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
