Knob Hill
Homes for Sale in Middleburg, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 10 closed sales in Knob Hill in Middleburg, FL since 2002, the most recent in December 2021. Across Middleburg as a whole, 667 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $315,000, 47 median days on market, with 219 homes for sale today. At that median and Clay County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.05 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,740 ($4,150 with the full homestead exemption).
The snapshot for Knob Hill is thin right now — we have location and county, but not the pricing and inventory detail we'd normally lean on to call the market. So treat this as a starting point, not a verdict. What we can say is that Knob Hill sits in Middleburg, in Clay County, and that means the read here is driven less by neighborhood cachet and more by the individual home: condition, lot, and how it's priced against what else is moving in the area.
Until we have a current median and days-on-market to work from, both buyers and sellers should approach this one deal-by-deal. Sellers, price to recent comparable closings rather than to a hoped-for number. Buyers, judge each listing on its own merits and don't assume a listed price reflects the wider market. We can pull live numbers before you make a move.
The 60-Second Overview
Knob Hill is a Middleburg community in Clay County — an inland, western part of the Northeast Florida market rather than a coastal or urban-core address. That location shapes the commute and the pace more than any single statistic.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.
Who Knob Hill is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a Middleburg / western Clay County location who accept a longer drive to the urban core
- Buyers willing to evaluate each home on condition and lot rather than a blanket neighborhood price
- Buyers who want us to build a value from live comparable sales before they offer
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a walkable, urban, or beach-adjacent setting
- Buyers who want a large, deeply liquid market with dozens of active listings to compare
- Buyers expecting a firm published price band before touring — the data here is too thin for that

The Knob Hill buying strategy.
If we were buying in Knob Hill 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 Knob Hill.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Knob Hill. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
Knob Hill is small enough that a single listing can skew your sense of the market, and we don't have a full statistical picture published here yet. That's exactly where a broker earns their keep: we pull the live comparable sales, walk the specific home, and tell you what a fair number looks like on this street rather than repeating a headline figure. When the data is thin, judgment is the product.
