Market Heat
Over the 12 months ending 2026-11-11, 6 recorded sales closed at a median of $342,450, $276 per square foot, a median 83 days on market, sellers accepting 94% of original asking. At the median price and St. Johns County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.47 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,610 ($4,090 with the full homestead exemption).
Price in St. Augustine is driven less by a formula and more by condition and location within the market. The median sits at $374,950, but at roughly $313 per square foot, you are paying for the specifics of a given property — its state of repair, its proximity to the water and the historic core — more than any predictable per-foot rule. Expect a wide spread underneath that median number.
The current posture favors patient buyers. Prices are down 10.7% year over year, and homes are taking a median of 54 days to go under contract. With a market heat score of 40, this is not a bidding-war environment. Sellers should price to the current reality rather than last year's comps; buyers have room to negotiate and time to inspect.

The 60-Second Overview
St Augustine market snapshot (as of November 11, 2026): the median sale price is about $342K ($276 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 83 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is down 12% from the prior 12 months and up 121% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (6 closings in the current window).
St Augustine is a community of 835 homes in St. Augustine, St. Johns County, built between 1885 and 2024 (median 1989.0), with a median living area of about 1,592 square feet. 55% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
This is a soft, condition-driven market where the headline median hides a broad range of properties. The long arc has been strong — up 316% since 2012 — but the recent trend is a pullback, not a surge.
Who St Augustine is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with a near-median budget who value negotiating leverage over speed
- Purchasers willing to trade a longer search for the right condition and location
- Long-horizon owners comfortable riding out a short-term price pullback
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to close quickly in a competitive, move-fast market
- Anyone counting on immediate short-term price gains
- Purchasers who want to lean on the median as a precise value in a thin sales window
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending November 11 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($342K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($390K) IS the -12.2% one-year change.

The St Augustine buying strategy.
If we were buying in St Augustine 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 St Augustine.
A cooling market with a long tailwind
Two facts sit in tension here. Values are up 316% since 2012, which tells you the area has been in long-term demand. But the last twelve months tell a different story: a 10.7% decline and a median of 54 days on market. Read those together and you get a market that has run hard, then paused to catch its breath.
The closings window here is thin — this snapshot rests on 8 recent sales — so treat the median as a directional signal, not gospel. In a market this size, a couple of unusual transactions can move the number. That is exactly why condition and location matter more than any single stat, and why walking specific properties beats trusting the average.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in St Augustine. 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 St Augustine 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 4 factors (5.6). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +121% since 2012; Recent Direction -12.2% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 55% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 94.3% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a cooling market built on a thin number of closings, the average tells you very little about the house you actually want. We read the individual comps — condition, location, days on market — and price against reality rather than nostalgia. That protects sellers from chasing a market that has moved, and it gives buyers the leverage the current numbers support.
