Market Heat
Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 10 recorded sales closed at a median of $162,000, $93 per square foot, a median 19 days on market, sellers accepting 84% of original asking (+30% versus the prior year). At the median price and Putnam County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.89 mills, annual property tax runs about $2,740 ($2,060 with the full homestead exemption).
Dicks Map's numbers are driven almost entirely by the age and condition spread in the housing stock. With homes going back to 1881 and a median build year of 1953, buyers are pricing structural condition and updates first, location second. A median of $169,950 for 1,529 square feet puts this squarely in the affordable end of the market, and at $121.53 per square foot the entry cost per foot stays low even as recent closings have pushed the trend line up sharply.
The last 12 months of closings show a 41.6% year-over-year move and a median 19.5 days on market, which is a fast, seller-leaning posture for an area with 1,031 homes tracked. Sellers with updated, move-in-ready homes are getting rewarded quickly; buyers competing for the better-conditioned inventory should expect to move fast and not assume older listings will linger.

Dicks Map covers a broad, long-settled slice of Palatka in Putnam County, where homes built between 1881 and 2024 sit side by side rather than following a single development era. There is no identified community amenity package here — this reads as an organically built neighborhood, not a planned subdivision.
Who Dicks Map is best for.
Best for
- Buyers prioritizing affordability who are comfortable evaluating a home's age and condition with a strong inspection.
- Investors eyeing an area where only 47% of homes carry a homestead exemption, pointing to notable non-owner-occupied inventory.
- Buyers ready to move quickly, since the median days on market is running near 19.5 days.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a planned community with a clubhouse, pool, or other organized amenities.
- Buyers who want newer, more consistent construction throughout the immediate area.
- Buyers uncomfortable with wide variance in home age and condition, given the 1881-to-2024 build range.

The Dicks Map buying strategy.
If we were buying in Dicks Map 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 Dicks Map.
Wide Build Years, Narrow Price Band
The 1,031 homes tracked in Dicks Map span build years from 1881 to 2024, but the median build year lands at 1953 — the working core of the inventory is older housing, not new construction. Median living area is 1,529 square feet, and just 47% of homes carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a meaningful share of non-owner-occupied or investment-held property in the mix.
A market heat score of 63 alongside a 41.6% year-over-year move and a median 19.5 days on market over the past 12 months signals this area has moved from overlooked to actively competitive. At a median $121.53 per square foot, pricing still leaves room relative to newer-construction markets nearby, which is likely part of what is pulling that appreciation number up.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Dicks Map. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
