Homes for Sale in St. Augustine, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 43 closed sales in Estuaries in St. Augustine, FL since 2007, the most recent in October 2025. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $485,000 to $585,000 (median $538,000), on homes of 1,520 to 1,650 sq ft. Across St. Augustine as a whole, 2,670 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $453,314, 52 median days on market, with 685 homes for sale today. At that median and St. Johns County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.47 mills, annual property tax runs about $7,250 ($6,730 with the full homestead exemption).
The Estuaries is a small, tightly defined community in St. Augustine, and with a closings window of just two, there is not enough recent transaction volume to publish a reliable median or lean on averages. In a pocket this size, price is set less by a market rate and more by the specific home in front of you — its condition, updates, lot, and position relative to the water and preserve that give the community its name.
For a buyer, that means comparables are thin and each listing has to be underwritten on its own merits rather than against a running neighborhood number. For a seller, it means pricing is a judgment call built from the closest available evidence, not a formula — and a well-prepared home can define the top of the range because there is little competing inventory to anchor against.
The 60-Second Overview
The Estuaries sits in St. Johns County within St. Augustine, a low-turnover community where listings surface infrequently and the estuarine setting — tidal water and preserve edges — is the defining feature buyers are actually paying for.

Who Estuaries is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who value a quiet, low-inventory setting and are patient enough to wait for the right listing
- Those prioritizing water and preserve proximity over having many homes to choose from
- Buyers comfortable underwriting a home on its own condition and site rather than a published neighborhood average
Probably not for
- Buyers on a tight timeline who need several homes to tour at once
- Anyone who wants a large sample of recent sales before committing to a price
- Buyers seeking a fast, formula-driven valuation rather than a case-by-case read

The Estuaries buying strategy.
If we were buying in Estuaries 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 Estuaries.
A thin-turnover pocket
With only two closings in the window, the useful signal here is scarcity, not statistics. Homes in a community this contained do not trade often, so when one does list, it tends to move on its own terms rather than tracking a broader St. Augustine trend line. Treat any single sale as one data point, not a market.
Because the inventory is so limited, condition and setting carry outsized weight. The distance to the water, the quality of the view, and how recently a home has been updated will drive value more than square footage alone. Buyers should be prepared to act on the right home when it appears; sellers should invest in presentation, because there may be little else on the market to compare against.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Estuaries. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here

We track St. Johns County activity closely and can tell you whether a given Estuaries listing is priced to its condition and setting or riding on scarcity alone.
