Homes for Sale in Fernandina Beach, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 71 closed sales in Lofton Point in Fernandina Beach, FL since 2004, the most recent in February 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $285,000 to $418,000 (median $375,000), on homes of 1,447 to 2,411 sq ft. Across Fernandina Beach as a whole, 283 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $530,000, 56 median days on market, with 95 homes for sale today. At that median and Nassau County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.28 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,980 ($4,470 with the full homestead exemption).
Lofton Point is a built-out community in Fernandina Beach where homes went up between 1987 and 2007, with the typical house dating to around 2004 and running about 2,143 square feet. Price here is driven less by any single amenity and more by condition and updates within that established housing stock. The median sits at $375,000, or roughly $229 per square foot, and the spread around that number is condition-driven rather than the product of new construction or a wide range of home types.
Posture is measured, not frantic. A market heat score of 40 and a median of 63 days on market tell you homes are moving, but on a timeline that gives buyers room to inspect, negotiate, and think. Year-over-year the median is up 7.1 percent, so sellers have some wind at their back — but at this pace, pricing a home correctly out of the gate matters more than betting on a bidding war. Buyers should not expect to be rushed, and sellers should not expect to skip the fundamentals.
The 60-Second Overview
Lofton Point is a mature, mostly owner-occupied Fernandina Beach community of 116 homes, where just over 60 percent carry a homestead exemption — a sign of an established, primary-residence neighborhood rather than a rental- or investor-heavy one.

The Lofton Point buying strategy.
If we were buying in Lofton Point 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 Lofton Point.
An established neighborhood that trades on condition
Because construction here spanned 1987 to 2007 and the community is fully built out, there is no new-construction premium to chase and no obvious entry point at either end. What separates one sale from the next is how much work a given home has had. The median around 2,143 square feet gives you a good sense of the typical footprint, but two homes of similar size can price quite differently depending on roofs, systems, and finishes. Read the condition, not just the square footage.
The homestead share of roughly 62 percent signals a neighborhood held largely by primary-residence owners rather than short-term holders. For a buyer, that usually means homes have been lived in and maintained rather than turned over quickly. For a seller, it means your competition is limited and episodic — the 116-home count keeps supply tight, and a median of 63 days on market reflects a deliberate rather than desperate pace.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Lofton Point. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
