Transcript

St Johns Forest, in St. Johns, is a St. Johns County community where the median sold price over the last 12 months is 725,000 dollars, and homes take a median of 25 days to sell. Here's what that means if you're watching this one.

St Johns Forest has about 256 homes, built between 2004 and 2015, in St. Johns, in St. Johns County. Over the last 10 years it has averaged about 11 sales a year, and 11 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, 11 homes sold at a median of 725,000 dollars. That's 241 dollars a square foot, matching its 2026 peak, at 97 point 3 percent of asking. Right now 8 homes are listed and 1 is pending.

11 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 97 point 3 percent of asking, against 96 point 5 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 8,900 dollars, at St. Johns County's total millage of 13 point 4686 mills. Of the homes listed or recently sold here, 21 of 21 report an HOA, at a median of 247 dollars a month, so ask what the dues cover, and whether a CDD assessment applies. Of 18 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 72 percent sit outside the high-risk zone; still check the map by address, and get insurance quoted by address.

Get an email the moment new homes list: the alerts box is on the St Johns Forest page at move with momentum dot com, updated every night. I'm Jon Brooks with Momentum Realty.

Jon's Read · written July 14, 2026

St Johns Forest is a low-volume market: 9 active listings and 23 closings in the current window mean each sale carries more weight in the numbers, and pricing here tracks condition and lot specifics more than broad trend lines. The median sits at $685,000, with price per square foot at $215.98, and that combination points to a market where finished square footage and updates command a real premium rather than a market moving on momentum alone.

Median days on market is 38, and months of supply is 4.7, both consistent with the balanced tag on this community right now. Prices are down 2.1% year over year, though the community is still up 114% since 2012, so the recent softening reads as a pause within a much longer run rather than a reversal. A market heat score of 37 tells sellers to price to the comp, not to the headline, and tells buyers there is room to negotiate on terms without needing to chase a shrinking window.

Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

St Johns Forest right now

🟡 Balanced market. 3.8 months of supply and 20% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.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 November 12, 2026. Confidence: Very High (10 active and pending listings, 25 closed sales in 12 months).

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($675K) is down 4.6% from the prior 12 months ($708K) and up 123% since 2012. With about 29 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 November 12.

The 60-Second Overview

St Johns Forest market snapshot (as of November 12, 2026): the median sale price is about $675K ($234 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 26 days on market for closed sales, and 3.8 months of supply, a balanced market. The trailing-12-month median is down 5% from the prior 12 months and up 123% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (25 closings in the current window).

In ZIP 32259 (St. Johns), 1,918 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $505K ($225/sq ft), down 1.8% year over year, with a median 42 days on market. Right now 408 active and 276 pending listings put supply at about 2.6 months — a healthy market. See the live ZIP 32259 housing market and the St. Johns County market.

County records show 13 qualified sales in St Johns Forest across 2024–2025 (7 in 2024, 6 in 2025), median $800,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Flood zones in St. Johns Forest: of 18 listing addresses checked against the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, 72% sit outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone X); 28% are in an A-series high-risk zone where flood insurance is required with a federally backed mortgage. Individual parcels vary - verify any specific address at msc.fema.gov. See flood zones by neighborhood in St. Johns.

St Johns Forest is a community of 256 homes in St. Johns, St. Johns County, built between 2004 and 2015 (median 2011.0), with a median living area of about 3,732 square feet. 84% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

With only 9 homes active and 23 closings in the current window, St Johns Forest trades in small numbers, so a single well-priced or overpriced listing can shift the read on the community faster than in higher-volume areas nearby.

Best for

  • Buyers comfortable pricing off a $685,000 median in a thin-inventory market
  • Buyers with a 38-day-plus timeline who don't need to move in under a week
  • Sellers willing to price to the $215.98 per-square-foot comp rather than to last year's peak

Probably not for

  • Buyers who need a large active pool of comparable homes to choose among
  • Sellers expecting the prior year's pricing after the 2.1% year-over-year dip
  • Anyone who needs a fast, high-turnover market with dozens of monthly closings

If we were buying in St Johns Forest today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 Johns Forest.

Best Buy
Buyers and sellers who want a balanced, low-drama negotiation rather than a race against the market.
Biggest Risk
Only 9 active listings means thin choice, so the right home may take patience to surface.
Sweet Spot
Move-in-ready homes priced against the $685,000 median and recent per-square-foot data, not against list-price hope.
Avoid If
You need a fast, high-volume market with dozens of active comps to choose from.

A balanced market with a thin bench

The market_band here is balanced, and 4.7 months of supply backs that up: not tight enough to hand sellers the leverage, not loose enough to hand it to buyers. At a median of $685,000 and $215.98 per square foot, the math rewards homes that are priced against actual recent closings rather than against what a similar-looking listing asked for.

Median time on market of 38 days is a reasonable runway for both sides. It's long enough that a buyer who does their diligence isn't going to lose a home to a bidding war, and short enough that a correctly priced seller isn't left carrying a listing for months. The year-over-year dip of 2.1% is worth naming plainly to sellers expecting last year's number, while the 114% climb since 2012 is the more useful reference point for anyone thinking in years rather than months.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in St Johns Forest. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
