Median days on market
East Palatka sits across the St. Johns River from Palatka in Putnam County, a stretch of Northeast Florida where farmland, fishing water, and small-town rhythm still set the pace. This is a place for buyers who want acreage, a boat, or simply room to breathe rather than a subdivision streetscape — the housing here is entirely single-family homes, from modest cottages to larger river-adjacent properties.
The market is small and moves fast: just 4 active listings right now, with a median list price of $534,900 spanning a wide $152,000 to $898,000. Median days on market sits at 1, so when something priced right hits, it doesn't linger — worth watching the just reduced listings and setting alerts if your range is specific. With only 8 homes sold in the past year, patience and a ready pre-approval matter more here than in a big metro.
East Palatka is in Putnam County, Florida.
