Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-13, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $375,000, $247 per square foot, a median 12 days on market, sellers accepting 95% of original asking (-20% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1979–1987; none of the 3 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 10 ft). At the median price and Putnam County's FY2025-26 rate of 16.89 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,330 ($5,660 with the full homestead exemption).
Palm Port is a small, established pocket in East Palatka — 139 homes with build years running from 1945 to 2018 and a median year built of 1983. Median living area sits at 1942 square feet. With that much span in construction era, value here tracks condition and updates more than it tracks any single style or vintage.
The current market is thin and balanced rather than hot: just one active listing and two closings in the recent window put this at 6.0 months of supply — balanced territory, not a seller's sprint or a buyer's glut. For a seller, realistic pricing tied to condition and comps does the work, not competing offers. For a buyer, it means patience — there is not much to choose from at any given moment, so being ready to move when something does list matters more than negotiating room.

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($375K) is down 20.2% from the prior 12 months ($470K) and up 83% 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 September 13.

- Buyers comfortable underwriting an individual home's age and condition rather than leaning on recent comps
- Sellers prepared for a balanced market where realistic, condition-based pricing — not competing offers — sets the outcome

The Palm Port buying strategy.
If we were buying in Palm Port 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 Palm Port.
A Market of Condition, Not Comps
With 139 homes total and construction years from 1945 to 2018, Palm Port does not fit a single-era story. The median year built of 1983 means pricing conversations here tend to center on roof, systems, and updates rather than square footage alone — though the median living area of 1942 square feet gives a workable baseline for size.
Inventory is essentially the story of the moment: with only one active listing and two closings in the most recent window, months of supply lands at 6.0 — the definition of a balanced market, not a data point either side can lean on hard. Because no community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, buyers are underwriting the home itself, not a shared pool or clubhouse, so due diligence should focus on the specific property's age and condition rather than any amenity package.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Palm Port. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Palm Port buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (5.1). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +83% since 2012; Recent Direction -20.2% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 67% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 94.9% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
A market with one active listing and two closings in the trailing window is not one you can shop by browsing a portal — it moves by relationship and by knowing which of the 139 homes in Palm Port is quietly getting ready to list or sell before it hits public search. Momentum's local read on East Palatka and Putnam County pricing, tied to condition and comps rather than a thin public sales history, is what keeps a buyer from overpaying — or a seller from underpricing — in a community this size.
