True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of October 2026, the MLS records 17 closed sales in Plantation Island in St. Johns, FL since 2002, the most recent in September 2024. Across St. Johns as a whole, 707 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $505,000, 45 median days on market, with 338 homes for sale today. At that median and St. Johns County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.47 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,800 ($6,280 with the full homestead exemption).
Plantation Island sits in St. Johns, and the honest starting point is that our current data snapshot is thin — there are no closings in the reporting window we're working from as of mid-2026. That means the story here is about the neighborhood itself and how homes present, not about a fresh run of comparable sales you can lean on.
For a buyer, that quiet transaction picture calls for patience and a willingness to underwrite each home on its own merits — condition, lot, and configuration will drive price more than any trend line right now. For a seller, it means pricing is a judgment call rather than a formula, and getting a knowledgeable read on the individual property matters more than usual.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The 60-Second Overview
Plantation Island is a smaller enclave within St. Johns County, and with no closings in our current window, it trades quietly rather than at high volume — a place you evaluate home by home instead of by the numbers.
realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 13 homes in Plantation Island that have changed hands since 2001, built between 2000 and 2007 (median 2001), with a median living area of about 3,774 sq ft and a typical 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
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 Plantation Island is best for.
Best for

- Buyers working with a broker to price against the broader market rather than a neighborhood average
Probably not for
- Buyers who need recent comparable sales before committing
- Buyers wanting a high-turnover market with lots of inventory to compare
- Buyers on a strict flip timeline who need proven, fast resale demand

The Plantation Island buying strategy.
If we were buying in Plantation Island 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 Plantation Island.
A thin-data market in St. Johns
The defining feature of Plantation Island right now is the absence of recent recorded activity in our snapshot. That is not a red flag on its own — small communities routinely go stretches without a closing — but it does change how you approach both buying and selling here. Without a batch of recent comps, value gets set by the specifics of the property in front of you.
Practically, that puts the burden on due diligence. Condition, updates, lot position, and the particulars of the home carry the weight, and any pricing conversation should start with the property and the broader St. Johns context rather than a neighborhood average that simply isn't there to cite.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Plantation Island. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community with little recent recorded activity, the value we add is judgment, not a spreadsheet. We read the individual home against the wider St. Johns market, tell you plainly when a price doesn't hold up, and walk away from deals that don't make sense — which matters most exactly when the comps are thin.
