Murabella Homes For Sale, St. Johns County

The $50–$150-a-year HOA on Murabella listings is real — and it's low for a reason that cuts the other way: the community runs on the CDD model. The Murabella Community Development District financed and operates the amenity campus — the residents' clubhouse, the big pool complex, fitness, tennis, and the sports fields — and its assessment rides the St. Johns County tax bill, generally on the order of $2,800 a year per the district's schedules, varying by lot and by any prior bond prepayment. Buyers who see the nominal HOA and assume cheap carry get the surprise at the first tax bill; buyers who run the full stack find it's still a competitive package for what World Golf Village living delivers. I pull the exact district line on every Murabella home my buyers consider.

Every big master plan in the county funds its amenities differently, and the HOA line alone will mislead you on all five. Julington Creek: the CDD owns the amenities outright — rec center, water park, Sportsplex — and charges $1,385/yr for a single-family home (FY2025 adopted), one of the county’s most modest district lines because the build-out is long financed; HOA about $580/yr. Aberdeen: HOA about $50/yr, with the Aberdeen CDD carrying the amenity structure at roughly $1,994–$2,803/yr scaled by lot width (FY2026 adopted budget). Murabella: the same inversion — HOA $50–$150/yr, Murabella CDD on the order of $2,800/yr. Markland: a real POA plus the Southaven CDD at roughly $3,000–$3,500/yr scaled by lot width. Silverleaf: the outlier — no CDD at all, with a master HOA near $1,200/yr plus sub-neighborhood dues by section. Every figure comes from the districts’ own adopted budgets or live MLS listings, and the lesson is the same everywhere: compare total carry — HOA plus district line plus taxes — not the association sticker. I run that side-by-side for buyers deciding between these communities.

There’s no automated estimate on this site, on purpose — algorithms average a zip code, and your value turns on the specifics an average can’t see: condition, position, and what the last few Murabella sales actually closed for. Every new listing and MLS-recorded sale in Murabella surfaces on this page as it happens, so following it is the simplest way to watch your comp set move. When you want a real number, Krista prepares it personally against Murabella’s own sales — no algorithm guesses, no obligation.

It depends on the market you list into, not the market you read about — and this page tracks Murabella’s pace the honest way, from live MLS activity rather than a static average. The market snapshot above reflects what’s actually happening here right now, and it shifts: the answer in a tight-inventory spring is different from a heavy-inventory fall. Before we ever set a price or a timeline, I read Murabella’s current pace — days on market, how recent sales closed against their list prices, and what your home’s specific competition looks like the week we launch.

A few lines beyond the obvious ones. In Murabella, plan on: the commission you and Krista agree on, Florida’s documentary stamp tax on the deed, title and closing charges per local custom, the association’s estoppel letter — and because this community carries a district assessment, the CDD line is prorated at closing and must be disclosed to your buyer, which is a paperwork step, not a penalty. Priced and disclosed correctly, it never kills a deal; handled sloppily, it stalls one. Krista runs the full seller’s net sheet against Murabella’s actual cost structure before you commit to a number.
