Closed sales from the realMLS IDX feed; years with fewer than three sales are omitted. Medians, not estimates of any one home. "Of asking" is the median sold price as a share of the final list price. † A partial year in the feed: it carries only some of that year’s sales, so the median rests on fewer homes and the percent change above starts at the first full year.
This market, from the inside
Boater’s truth for this county: the Intracoastal is the highway, the inlets are the on-ramps — St. Augustine Inlet is the county’s main pass to the Atlantic — and dock rights, depth at low tide, and bridge clearances decide what your waterfront is actually worth. I run those questions on every navigable-water home my buyers consider.
Frequently asked questions
Where are the boating neighborhoods in St. Johns County?
The Palm Valley stretch of the Intracoastal in Ponte Vedra carries the classic dock-behind-the-house inventory; Roscoe Boulevard is its marquee address. South of there, the Tolomato riverfront runs past Palencia toward St. Augustine, the bayfront and Salt Run around the historic city offer some of the coast’s most storied moorings, and Crescent Beach puts docks on the Matanzas.
What does the St. Augustine Inlet mean for a boat buyer?
It’s the county’s main pass to the Atlantic — which makes run-time-to-inlet a real pricing variable on navigable water here. It’s also a shifting, shoaling inlet that demands local knowledge and current charts; plenty of owners day-cruise the Intracoastal for years and treat the ocean pass as a weather-window decision. Know your boat, know the pass.
What should I verify before buying a home with a dock?
In this county, start with the route itself: whether your water reaches the Intracoastal or the St. Johns without a fixed bridge you can’t clear, then the dock’s permit record, the riparian rights actually deeded, and honest depth at low tide — the creeks off the county’s rivers shoal more than listings admit. Insurance rides on the flood zone, which every listing on this site displays. The checklist runs before any offer, not after.
