As of September 2026, the MLS records 4 closed sales in St Marys Heights in Hilliard, FL since 2010, the most recent in March 2026. Across Hilliard as a whole, 62 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $282,500, 63 median days on market, with 24 homes for sale today. At that median and Nassau County's FY2025-26 rate of 13.28 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,750 ($3,250 with the full homestead exemption).
St Marys Heights sits in Hilliard, out in the rural western reach of Nassau County. With no price or inventory figures in front of me for this snapshot, I'd treat pricing here as condition- and lot-driven rather than set by any tidy comp band. In a small community like this, one or two listings can swing the read, so I lean on the specifics of the actual house in front of us more than any headline number.
Posture-wise, the honest move is to verify before you anchor. A buyer should walk the property, weigh land and structure separately, and price off what's genuinely there. A seller should expect scrutiny on condition and should not assume a neighboring sale sets their ceiling. Come to the table with current, address-level data, not a rounded rumor.
The 60-Second Overview
St Marys Heights is a Hilliard community in the western, more rural half of Nassau County — worth understanding on its own terms rather than by comparison to the coastal side of the county.

The St Marys Heights buying strategy.
If we were buying in St Marys Heights 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 Marys Heights.
Reading a small, rural-side market
Hilliard sits inland, away from the beaches and the denser Amelia Island corridor, which gives this part of Nassau County a slower, more land-oriented feel. That geography tends to reward buyers who actually want acreage, space between homes, and a rural commute pattern rather than walkable amenities.
Because this is a smaller pocket, the usual advice about averages applies double: a single unusual sale can distort the picture. The practical work is inspecting each home's condition, systems, and land use individually, and pricing from that rather than from a broad neighborhood assumption.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in St Marys Heights. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
