Merimar's price is set less by lot size or floor plan and more by location: a small Neptune Beach pocket with a restaurant and fishing access inside the neighborhood footprint, built out unevenly from 1918 through 2024 with a median year built of 1960. That mix of legacy homes and newer construction is why the median size lands at 2,072 square feet and the median price sits at $1,062,500 — $461.65 per square foot — with condition and vintage doing more to move a given sale than any single feature.
With just 1 active listing against 6 closings in the tracked window, Merimar trades on razor-thin volume. Two months of supply keeps it seller-leaning, and a median of 46 days on market points to buyers waiting for the right listing rather than a market moving fast. The 53.4% year-over-year pullback and the 165% gain since 2012 both come out of that same thin-volume math — in a community this small, a handful of closings can swing the year-over-year figure sharply even as the longer trend stays firmly up. Read the year-over-year number as noise in a small count, not a reversal in the address.

🟡 Balanced market. 2.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of July 14, 2026. Confidence: Medium (1 active and pending listings, 6 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($1.06M) is down 53.4% from the prior 12 months ($2.28M) and up 165% since 2012. With about 4 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending July 14. Confidence: Low (6 and 3 sales in the two windows).

The Merimar buying strategy.
If we were buying in Merimar 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 Merimar.
A Small Beachside Pocket Trading on Scarcity
Merimar comprises 479 homes total, with 64.6% carrying a homestead exemption — a sign of longer-term ownership rather than a market dominated by turnover or investment flips. Construction spans 1918 to 2024, but the median year built of 1960 points to a core of established homes that the neighborhood has continued to fill in and rebuild around.
Only 1 home is active for sale against 6 closings in the tracked window, and 2 months of supply keeps Merimar in seller-leaning territory. At a median of 46 days on market, listings here do not sit long — when a home is priced and shown well, it moves, and the shallow inventory leaves buyers little room to negotiate on the rare listing that does surface.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Merimar. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
