Data as of October 6, 2026. Data provided by realMLS; housing-stock figures from Florida Department of Revenue public records. Market figures describe homes, not residents. Cite as: Momentum Realty, “Sportsman Harbor key facts,” movewithmomentum.com/neighborhoods/sportsmans-harbor-welaka, data as of October 6, 2026.
Sportsman Harbor's 286 homes carry a median price of $279,000, or $216.15 per square foot against a median 1,296-square-foot home. Construction here spans 1970 to 2024, with a median build year of 1992, so pricing reflects a real mix of original and updated homes rather than one uniform product.
Inventory is thin — just 5 active listings — and the trailing 12 closings put this in balanced territory, with 5 months of supply and a median 43 days on market. Prices are down 10.3% year-over-year, though they remain up 97% since 2012, and the market heat score sits at 54. For sellers, that combination argues for a defensible, evidence-based list price; for buyers, thin supply means patience and a fast, well-prepared offer when the right listing appears.

🔴 Seller-leaning market. 2.2 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give sellers the pressure advantage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 6, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 11 closed sales in 12 months).
🟢 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($361K) is up 36.2% from the prior 12 months ($265K) and up 218% since 2012. With about a dozen 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 October 6.

Best for
- Buyers targeting a purchase near the $279,000 median who want water-oriented amenities like fishing access and a clubhouse.
- Buyers comfortable moving decisively — with 5 months of supply and a 43-day median market time, well-priced listings don't sit long.

The Sportsman Harbor buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sportsman Harbor 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 Sportsman Harbor.
A small, water-oriented market in Putnam County
At $279,000 median and $216.15 per square foot, Sportsman Harbor prices in line with a mix of vintage and newer construction — homes here were built anywhere from 1970 to 2024, with the median build year landing at 1992. A typical home runs 1,296 square feet, so buyers should expect a range of floor plans and finish levels rather than a single production-built look.
The community's built-in amenities — fishing access, a restaurant, a clubhouse, 24-hour security, and security lighting — point to a lifestyle organized around the water and a controlled-access feel, though buyers should verify current amenities and access rules directly with the HOA. With only 5 active listings and a trailing 12-closing window feeding the data, month-to-month figures here can move quickly; treat any single data point as a snapshot, not a trend.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sportsman Harbor. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

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 (6.7). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +218% since 2012; Recent Direction +36.2% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 2.2 months of supply; Owner Commitment 42% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 87.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community this thin — 5 active listings across 286 homes — pricing and negotiating strategy depend on reading a small, fast-moving pool of comparable sales rather than a large dataset. Momentum tracks Sportsman Harbor's closings as they happen, so sellers get a list price grounded in the trailing 12-closing window and buyers get a heads-up before something new hits the 5-listing pool of active inventory.
