The Highlands
Homes for Sale in Glen St. Mary, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Price here is driven by condition and lot, not by any single build era. With homes dating from 1977 through 2017 and a median build year of 1991, The Highlands is a mixed-vintage community where a renovated older home and a newer one can land in very different places on the spectrum. The median sits at $510,000, but treat that as a midpoint on a wide, condition-driven range rather than a sticker price for any given house.
The current posture is quick without being frantic. A median of 17 days on market says correctly priced homes move, but with only a handful of recent closings this is a thin, small sample of 32 homes — one or two sales can swing the read. Sellers should price to the condition of the specific house; buyers should be ready to act on the right listing but not assume the median tells them what a particular home is worth.

The Highlands market snapshot (as of July 11, 2026): the median sale price is about $510K ($207 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 17 days on market for closed sales.

A mixed-vintage pocket where condition sets the price
The homes span 1977 to 2017, so you are shopping across generations of construction under one community name. The median living area of about 1,781 square feet points to modestly sized houses, and the median price per square foot near $207 reflects that mix. What separates one home from the next is far more likely to be updates, systems, and lot than the year on the plat.
An owner-occupancy share of roughly 85% is high, which usually means a stable, lived-in community and thinner turnover. Combined with the small footprint of 32 homes, inventory is limited by nature — when the home you want comes up, there may not be a close comparable waiting behind it.
Why work with Momentum here
In a small, mixed-vintage community with few recent closings, the median only takes you so far. We price and evaluate off the specific house — its condition, systems, and lot — rather than a community-wide average that a single sale can distort. That discipline matters more here than in a large, uniform subdivision.
