Market Heat
The Gables is a thin market, and that changes how you read every number attached to it. The trailing window shows just four closings, with a median price of $227,500 and a per-square-foot figure of $173.89. A four-sale sample can swing hard on which specific homes happened to close, which is exactly what shows up in the year-over-year read: prices down 47.7% versus the prior period. Treat that as a symptom of low volume, not a verdict on the community's value.
Right now there are zero active listings in The Gables, so there is nothing to walk through or compare against today. The market heat score sits at 37, on the cooler end, and the last homes that did sell moved in a median of 17.5 days once they hit the market. For a buyer, that means watching for the next listing rather than shopping an inventory that does not currently exist. For a seller, it means a listing here isn't competing against a stack of other Gables homes — it may be the only one.

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($215K) is down 36.3% from the prior 12 months ($338K) and up 227% 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 August 21. Confidence: Low (3 and 4 sales in the two windows).

The 60-Second Overview
The Gables market snapshot (as of August 21, 2026): the median sale price is about $215K ($176 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 23 days on market for closed sales. The trailing-12-month median is down 36% from the prior 12 months and up 227% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (3 closings in the current window).
A small St. Augustine community in St. Johns County with a thin, intermittent resale flow rather than a steady stream of listings — worth tracking over time rather than judging by any single closing.

The The Gables buying strategy.
If we were buying in The Gables 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 The Gables.
Reading a market with four sales
The per-square-foot figure of $173.89 is the more stable number to anchor on when a market only produces a handful of closings in a given window, since a single high- or low-condition sale can move a median price further than it moves the price per square foot. With just four closings feeding the count, both figures should be read as a directional snapshot, not a precise index.
Zoom out and the picture steadies: The Gables is up 232% since 2012, which points to a long runway of value growth even through periods, like the current one, where short-term data is noisy because so little is trading. Median days on market of 17.5 suggests homes that do list are not sitting — they are simply infrequent.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Gables. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here
With zero active listings and only four recent closings to work from, The Gables is not a market you can price by algorithm or skim from a portal search. It takes a hand-prepared read of the actual comps that exist, a standing alert for the next listing the moment it hits, and a broker who will tell you plainly when the sample size is too thin to draw a firm conclusion either way.
