Homes for Sale in St. Simons Island, GA
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 7 closed sales in Kaufman Tract in St. Simons Island, GA since 2013, the most recent in March 2025. Across St. Simons Island as a whole, 456 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $707,500, 90 median days on market, with 185 homes for sale today. At that median and Glynn County's 2025 rate of 24.07 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,810.
There is not enough current MLS activity on Kaufman Tract to draw a pricing picture, and no community amenities show up in the listings we track. That is not a red flag by itself on St. Simons Island, where a lot of small pockets sit quiet for stretches between transactions, but it does mean anyone pricing a purchase or a sale here has to lean on direct comps from neighboring St. Simons streets rather than on stats specific to this tract.
For a seller, thin recent activity means the listing itself has to do the work of establishing value, since there is no fresh trail of closed prices to point to. For a buyer, it means slower, more manual due diligence: pull the actual deed and tax history, look at what has traded nearby, and do not assume a name on a map comes with a defined amenity package or an established price band.

The 60-Second Overview
Kaufman Tract sits within St. Simons Island in Glynn County, an area where lot size, proximity to the water, and rebuild condition tend to matter more than any single neighborhood identity, and that holds true here given how little standalone market data currently exists for it.

Who Kaufman is best for.
Best for
- Targeting a specific St. Simons Island parcel on its own merits rather than a subdivision amenity package.
- Comfortable directing your own due diligence on deed history, flood zone, and any restrictions before making an offer.
- Prioritizing island location over a clubhouse, pool, or other shared community feature.
Probably not for
- Expecting a defined roster of community amenities as part of the purchase.
- Wanting a deep, tract-specific sales history to benchmark price before you buy.
- Preferring a turnkey subdivision with established HOA structure and shared recreation space.

The Kaufman buying strategy.
If we were buying in Kaufman 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 Kaufman.
A name on the map, not yet a track record
Some parcels on St. Simons Island carry a historic or platted tract name that shows up in county records and old surveys without ever developing into an active, amenity-anchored subdivision in the way buyers picture when they hear 'community.' Based on current MLS listings, Kaufman Tract falls into that category: no clubhouse, pool, gate, or shared recreation area is identified. That does not mean the land or homes lack value, only that value here is going to be driven by the individual lot and structure, not by a shared amenity package.
Anyone evaluating a specific address in Kaufman Tract should treat it the way you would an unplatted or lightly documented parcel: verify lot boundaries, flood zone, and any deed restrictions directly rather than assuming they mirror a nearby named subdivision. St. Simons Island overall carries strong location fundamentals, but that reputation attaches to the island, not automatically to every small tract within its boundaries.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Kaufman. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
When a tract has this little standalone market data, the work shifts from reciting comps to actually building them: pulling county deed records, cross-referencing recent closings on adjacent streets, and confirming what, if anything, governs the parcel. That is the kind of groundwork we do before we ever recommend a number.
