JOHNS, Fla. - Sept. 22, 2026 - PRLog, The market for $750,000, $1,000,000 single-family waterfront homes with private pools in ZIP codes 32259 and 32092 has remained remarkably steady through August 2026, according to a recent analysis of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) export. The data shows that 24 qualifying sales were recorded from January to August 2026, which is the same number as the same period in 2025.
The median sale price for these homes in the specified period was $841,000, a slight increase from the $839,000 median sale price in the same period of 2025. The median market time, or the time it took for these homes to sell, was 49 days, compared to 48 days in the previous year. August 2026 saw a more pronounced increase in sales activity, with six qualifying homes selling at a median price of $887,150, compared to just three homes selling at an $800,000 median price in August 2025.
Ortelli's advice underscores the importance of examining individual home factors such as pricing, presentation, and competition rather than assuming a broader market trend.
The analysis also revealed that sellers received an average of 96.9% of their final list price through August 2026, compared to 97.6% during the same period in 2025. As of September 22, 2026, eight qualifying properties were still active in the market, while one was pending sale.
The data suggests that while the market remains steady, individual property performance can vary significantly. Homeowners are advised to carefully consider their pricing strategy, the condition of their property, and the competitive landscape before relisting. The evidence does not indicate a large year-over-year price movement, making it less clear whether waiting for prices to rise would be a wise decision.
In conclusion, the market for high-end waterfront homes with private pools in the specified ZIP codes has shown resilience, with a consistent number of sales and median prices. However, the success of individual listings depends on a range of factors beyond just the price point.
