Samara Lakes prices off condition and lot more than off any location premium: the median sits at $371,750, with price per square foot running $198.32 — a moderate rate for the area that leaves room to move depending on finish level and site. With only 10 active listings, there simply is not much on the market to compare against right now, and that thin bench is doing more to hold pricing firm than any single feature of the community.
At 3.5 months of supply, this reads as a balanced market — not tilted hard toward buyers or sellers — and a median 21 days on market backs that up: homes here are not sitting, but they are not vanishing overnight either. Year over year the median is essentially flat, up 0.5%, while the longer arc — up 135% since 2012 — shows this is a community that has already done most of its appreciating. For sellers, that argues for pricing at the market rather than testing it; for buyers, it means less urgency than the days-on-market figure alone might suggest.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Who Samara Lakes is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a purchase near the $371,750 median who want a market that is not moving against them week to week.
- Sellers who can price at the current balanced-market level and expect a sale in roughly three weeks rather than needing to chase a premium.
- Buyers willing to move quickly and decisively when one of a small number of active listings matches what they need.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want to compare many similar homes side by side before deciding — with 10 active listings, that depth is not there right now.
- Anyone banking on the rapid year-over-year price gains this community saw earlier in its run — current movement is close to flat.
- Buyers who need a large, constantly refreshing inventory of options rather than a small, closely-watched pool.

Transcript
Samara Lakes, in St. Augustine, is a St. Johns County community where the median sold price over the last 12 months is 385,000 dollars, and homes take a median of 37 days to sell. Here's what that means if you're watching this one.
Samara Lakes has about 211 homes, built between 2005 and 2018, in St. Augustine, in St. Johns County. Over the last 10 years it has averaged about 12 sales a year, and 12 homes sold in the last 12 months. Every number in this video comes from the community page at move with momentum dot com, from realMLS and public records.
In the last 12 months, 12 homes sold at a median of 385,000 dollars. That's 194 dollars a square foot, matching its 2026 peak, at 96 point 6 percent of asking. Right now 4 homes are listed and 1 is pending.
20 percent of homes here are under contract, against 30 percent across St. Johns County, which typically means less competition for the homes that list. That's typical, not a promise. Homes here have sold at 96 point 6 percent of asking, against 96 point 4 percent for the county, so compare each home to recent closings, not to asking prices. Verify whether an HOA or a CDD applies.
At today's median asking price, the page estimates a first-year property tax bill with homestead of about 4,800 dollars, at St. Johns County's total millage of 13 point 4686 mills. Of the homes listed or recently sold here, 17 of 17 report an HOA, at a median of 71 dollars a month, so ask what the dues cover, and whether a CDD assessment applies. Of 16 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100 percent sit outside the high-risk zone; still check the map by address, and get insurance quoted by address.

Habitat for Humanity seeks buyers for last homes in 36-home Volusia Woods
Habitat for Humanity of St. Johns County has four unoccupied homes remaining in Volusia Woods, a 36-home neighborhood in St. Augustine. Its income-restricted homes cost under $300,000 against a county median above $500,000, supported by roughly $1 million in ARPA money and $264,000 in county grants. Habitat hopes to place owners by the holidays.
What it may mean for the marketIncome-restricted ownership options priced well below the county median add a small amount of lower-priced for-sale supply in St. Augustine. The project is about 10 miles east of Samara Lakes, elsewhere in St. Johns County.

Clay school district says one-mill referendum renews, not raises, property tax
The Clay County school district says the referendum on the upcoming ballot renews the one-mill levy voters first approved in 2020 at the same rate. The money funds school law enforcement contracts and compensation to retain and attract teachers and support staff. A citizens' advisory committee reviews spending, and the district says non-renewal would leave a funding shortfall.
What it may mean for the marketThe outcome sets school operating funding and staffing support for Clay County without changing the current millage rate. The site is about 12 miles west of Samara Lakes.

First Coast Expressway advances as an economic-development corridor across Clay and St. Johns
The First Coast Expressway (State Road 23), a tolled beltway looping around the west and south of the Jacksonville metro, continued to open land for development along its corridor, with the final St. Johns County phase from Interstate 95 to east of County Road 2209 in progress. FDOT held a St. Johns County open house on the final phase in January 2026.
What it may mean for the marketNew limited-access highway capacity shortens commutes and opens adjacent land, changes that have historically shaped where new communities and demand concentrate. The site is about 15 miles northwest of Samara Lakes.

The Samara Lakes buying strategy.
If we were buying in Samara Lakes 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.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
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 Samara Lakes.
A Balanced Market With a Thin Bench
The market band here reads balanced, and the underlying numbers back that up: 3.5 months of supply is squarely in the range where neither buyers nor sellers hold obvious leverage. But the way that balance is built matters — with just 10 active listings against 34 closings in the trailing window, this is a market that clears through a small number of transactions rather than a deep, browsable inventory. A buyer who wants to compare several similar homes side by side may not find that many on the market at once.
Price sits at a median of $371,750, or $198.32 per square foot, and a median 21 days on market suggests reasonably priced listings are still finding buyers at a normal pace. The longer-run number worth sitting with is the 135% gain since 2012 — a reminder that most of the run-up here has already happened. Year-over-year movement of 0.5% is closer to flat than it is to appreciation, which is the more useful figure for anyone trying to time a purchase or sale in the next few months.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Samara Lakes. 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 Samara Lakes 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 5 factors (7.8). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +148% since 2012; Recent Direction -2.1% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 0.7 months of supply; Owner Commitment 68% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 97.6% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With only 10 active listings and a market that clears in tight, low-volume closings rather than deep browsable inventory, timing and pricing precision matter more here than in a larger community. Momentum tracks the realmls feed for Samara Lakes closely enough to know when a listing is priced to the market's actual balanced posture versus priced against wishful thinking, and to move quickly when the short list of live options changes.
