True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of October 2026, the MLS records 9 closed sales in Russell in Green Cove Springs, FL since 2010, the most recent in July 2026. Across Green Cove Springs as a whole, 434 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $356,990, 59 median days on market, with 404 homes for sale today. At that median and Clay County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.05 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,370 ($4,780 with the full homestead exemption).
Russell sits in Green Cove Springs at a median of $324,000, with per-square-foot pricing around $224. That combination tells you price here is driven more by the individual home — its size, condition, and finish — than by any single dominant product type. The spread on any given listing will hinge on what you're actually walking into, so read each house on its own terms rather than anchoring to the median.
With median days on market at 55, this is not a market that clears in a weekend. Sellers should price to the condition of the home and plan for a measured timeline, not a bidding war. Buyers have room to think, inspect, and negotiate — the pace is on your side here more than it is in faster corners of the county.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Who Russell is best for.
Best for
- Buyers around the mid-$300s who want time to inspect and negotiate rather than rush
- Sellers willing to prep a home to condition and price it accurately for a roughly two-month timeline
- Buyers who will judge value on the specific home's size and finish, not a headline median
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to close quickly in a fast-moving market
- Sellers expecting a bidding war or a sale in days
- Buyers who want a uniform, predictable price and little variation between homes

The Russell buying strategy.
If we were buying in Russell 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 Russell.
Reading price by condition, not headline
The two numbers that matter most here are the $324,000 median and the roughly $224 per square foot. Taken together, they point to a market where the finish and footprint of the specific home carry the value. A well-maintained house and a dated one at the same address won't trade for the same number, so the headline median is a starting reference, not a price you should expect to hit on any given property.
The 55-day median on market reinforces the point. Homes that show well and are priced to condition tend to move; those that lean on the median without the finish to back it up tend to sit. For buyers, that gap between well-prepared and under-prepared listings is where the negotiation lives.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Russell. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A market that turns over in about 55 days on a condition-driven median demands accurate, house-by-house pricing — the kind of read you only get from watching this Clay County corner closely. We price to what a home actually is, coach sellers on the prep that shortens time on market, and help buyers find the room to negotiate that a slower pace creates.
