Jon's Current Read

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.

Deerfield Preserve right now

🟡 Balanced market. 4.0 months of supply and 25% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.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 August 30, 2026. Confidence: Medium (4 active and pending listings, 9 closed sales in 12 months).

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($377K) is down 9.2% from the prior 12 months ($415K). 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 August 30. Confidence: Medium (9 and 7 sales in the two windows).

The 60-Second Overview

Deerfield Preserve market snapshot (as of August 30, 2026): the median sale price is about $377K ($214 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 20 days on market for closed sales, and 4.0 months of supply, a balanced market. The trailing-12-month median is down 9% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (9 closings in the current window).

Deerfield Preserve sits in St. Augustine, St. Johns County, one of a number of small, low-volume communities where the numbers move listing by listing rather than tracking a single county-wide trend.

Best for

  • A buyer comfortable making a decision with a small pool of active listings to compare.
  • A seller who wants to price off current market data rather than last year's higher comps.
  • A buyer or seller who prioritizes a balanced negotiation over racing a hot market.

Probably not for

  • A buyer who wants to compare a wide range of active listings before deciding.
  • A seller expecting last year's pricing levels, given the 7.8% year-over-year decline.
  • Anyone who needs a fast, high-volume market with dozens of comparable closings.

If we were buying in Deerfield Preserve 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 Deerfield Preserve.

Best Buy
Buyers and sellers who want a straightforward, condition-driven transaction rather than a bidding war.
Biggest Risk
Only 3 active listings means limited choice for a buyer and few comps for a seller to lean on.
Sweet Spot
A seller priced realistically off current, not year-ago, comps typically sees a contract within the 42-day median window.
Avoid If
Avoid if you need a large pool of active listings to compare before making a decision.

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 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 (5.9). Basis: Recent Direction -9.2% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 4.0 months of supply; 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.
