The Clay County market right now

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors reported a $355,000 median sale price in Clay County for September 2026, down 4.1% from August, with homes taking a median of 48 days to sell. (The report doesn’t say whether that’s single-family only.) Clay is still more affordable than neighboring St. Johns and Duval’s Beaches.

Selling with code violations or liens in Clay County

Clay County Code Enforcement handles nuisance, zoning, junk-vehicle and sign cases. Cases still open after two months go to a Special Magistrate. A county lien search costs $20 per parcel, but only by mail: send a check to Clay County BOCC with the address, parcel number and owner name. Lien reduction requests go directly to the Board of County Commissioners. Staff writes a recommendation, but you make the case. We prepare the request with you and pay the balance at closing.

Facing foreclosure in Clay County

Clerk of Court and Comptroller Tara S. Green’s office links foreclosure sales to clay.realforeclose.com. Tax deed sales are online only at clay.realtaxdeed.com. Florida sets the foreclosure sale 20 to 35 days after final judgment (Fla. Stat. 45.031).

Inherited a house in Clay County

Clay is in the 4th Judicial Circuit with Duval and Nassau. The Clerk’s Probate division handles estates. Summary administration applies to estates of $150,000 or less after exempt property, or when the owner died more than two years ago (Fla. Stat. 735.201).

Black Creek and Irma

Hurricane Irma in September 2017 brought major to record river flooding to Clay County, and Black Creek through Middleburg hit a record crest. FEMA is now updating Clay’s flood maps; the county held a map open house in September 2025. Homes in the high-risk flood zone have about a 26% chance of flooding over a 30-year mortgage, the county notes. Sellers near Black Creek or the St. Johns should expect buyers to ask about Irma. We buy those houses as they are.

What we buy and how it works

What we buy. All residential and commercial property: single-family homes, townhomes, condos, multifamily (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and apartment buildings), mobile homes on land you own (not in land-lease parks), vacant lots and land, and commercial property (retail, office, industrial and mixed-use), as-is, in any condition. That includes the hard ones: code violations and liens, foreclosure, probate and inherited property, hostile holdover occupants, hoarder houses, and sinkhole, storm or flood damage.

How it works. 1) Tell us about the property online or call (786) 753-8500. 2) We look at it with you, in person or by video, and make a written cash offer, usually within 24 hours. 3) You pick the closing date: as soon as 7 days, or later if you need time. We pay the standard seller closing costs, and you pay no commissions. We buy directly; in some sales we close alongside a partner investor, but you sign one contract with us and get one closing date either way.
