Data as of October 27, 2026. Data provided by realMLS; housing-stock figures from Florida Department of Revenue public records. Market figures describe homes, not residents. Cite as: Momentum Realty, “Deerfield Preserve key facts,” movewithmomentum.com/neighborhoods/deerfield-preserve-st-augustine, data as of October 27, 2026.
Deerfield Preserve is pricing off condition and lot more than anything else right now: the median sale sits at $386,000, working out to $213.58 per square foot, with a median of 42 days to get a contract signed. Year over year, the median price is down 7.8%, which tells you this is not a market where a seller can lean on last year's comps and expect the same number today.
With only 3 active listings and 3.3 months of supply, inventory here is thin enough that a single listing can shift the read on price. Momentum's data classifies this as a balanced market, and with 11 closings in the current window and a heat score of 46, neither side has enough leverage to dictate terms outright — a buyer gets some room to negotiate, a seller still sees homes close in a reasonable window.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🔴 Seller-leaning market. 1.3 months of supply and 50% of the inventory already under contract give sellers the pressure advantage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 27, 2026.

The Deerfield Preserve buying strategy.
If we were buying in Deerfield Preserve 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.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
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 Deerfield Preserve.
A Thin, Balanced Market
The math here is straightforward: a $386,000 median price, $213.58 per square foot, and a 42-day median time to contract. Those figures describe a market where homes are pricing on their own condition and lot rather than getting swept up or held back by broader momentum. The 7.8% year-over-year decline in median price is worth sitting with — it does not mean every home is worth less, but it does mean pricing off last year's closed sales alone will overstate today's market.
Supply is the other half of the story. At 3.3 months, Deerfield Preserve falls inside the range Momentum classifies as balanced, but with only 3 active listings and 11 closings in the recent window, the sample is small. A heat score of 46 reflects that balance — not hot enough to reward overpricing, not soft enough to hand a buyer the upper hand outright.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Deerfield Preserve. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Deerfield Preserve buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (8.1). Basis: Liquidity & Demand 1.3 months of supply; Owner Commitment 77% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 96.8% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
When a community has only 3 active listings, the handful of comparable sales that do exist matter more than usual, and pricing a home or an offer off the wrong one can cost real money in either direction. Momentum tracks Deerfield Preserve's closings, days-on-market, and pricing trend as they update, and applies that read to how we price a listing or structure an offer here, rather than leaning on a countywide average that will not reflect a market this thin.
