As of October 2026, the MLS records 16 closed sales in Scotts in St. Johns, FL since 2012, the most recent in July 2026. 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).
Scotts is a small community in St. Johns, and with the closing record limited to a single-listing window, price here is best read as condition-driven rather than as a settled market rate. One transaction is a data point, not a trend, so treat any single figure as the story of one home and one negotiation — not a benchmark you can lean on.
For buyers, that thin record means you set the comp as much as you inherit one; do your diligence on the specific house in front of you. For sellers, the same thinness cuts both ways — a well-prepared listing can define the number here, but you should not assume a prior sale sets your floor or ceiling.
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
Scotts sits within St. Johns County, and the current snapshot rests on a very shallow closing window, so the community reads as low-turnover rather than fast-moving. Judge it home by home.
realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 10 homes in Scotts that have changed hands since 2012, built between 1947 and 2019 (median 2003), with a median living area of about 1,918 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 70% 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.
County records show 11 qualified sales in Scotts across 2024–2025 (5 in 2024, 6 in 2025), median $1.15M — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Who Scotts is best for.

- Buyers who value a quiet, low-turnover setting in St. Johns County and will do home-by-home diligence
- Sellers with a well-prepared property willing to help define the price rather than inherit one

Probably not for
- Buyers who need a thick set of recent comparable sales to validate an offer
- Investors seeking predictable, high-turnover resale velocity
- Anyone wanting a fast, data-driven benchmark before making a decision

The Scotts buying strategy.
If we were buying in Scotts 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 Scotts.
Reading a thin market
When a community turns over rarely, the usual signals — days on market, spread between list and sale, seasonal cadence — go quiet. That is not a defect; it simply means the data cannot carry the weight buyers and sellers usually put on it. In Scotts, the honest move is to price and evaluate off the individual property: its condition, lot, and finishes, and how those compare to nearby St. Johns County inventory.
The practical upside of a low-turnover pocket is that when something does come available, it tends to matter. The practical risk is a false sense of value in either direction. We would rather build a case from the physical asset and current active competition than from a lone historical closing.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Scotts. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community this thin on recent activity, the value of local brokerage work is judgment, not just data pulls. We will walk the specific home, weigh it against active St. Johns County competition, and tell you plainly where a number holds up and where it does not — including when Scotts is simply not the right fit for your goals.
