The Putnam County market right now

Northeast Florida Realtors reported a September 2026 Putnam County median sale price of $291,250 on 34 closed sales, up 2.2% from August, with a median of 31 days on market. The report doesn’t say whether the county figure is single-family only. Houses that need major work or have flood history take much longer.

Selling with code violations or liens in Putnam County

Putnam County Codes Enforcement (2509 Crill Ave., Suite 300, Palatka; 386-329-0307) handles unincorporated areas. Cases go to a Special Magistrate in the County Commission Board Room, usually on the third Tuesday of the month. Fines can reach $1,000 a day for a first violation, $5,000 a day for a repeat and $15,000 for an irreparable one, plus repair costs. Recorded orders bind later buyers, liens last 20 years, and the magistrate can authorize foreclosure after three months, except on a homestead (Fla. Stat. 162.09). We get the payoff and pay it at closing.

Facing foreclosure in Putnam County

Putnam County foreclosure sales are held entirely online at putnam.realforeclose.com, and tax deed sales at putnam.realtaxdeed.com, run by Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller Matt Reynolds. The sale is set 20 to 35 days after final judgment (Fla. Stat. 45.031). We can close before it.

Inherited a house in Putnam County

Putnam is part of the 7th Judicial Circuit with Flagler, St. Johns and Volusia. Summary administration is usually available for estates of $150,000 or less after exempt property, or when the owner died more than two years ago (Fla. Stat. 735.201). We can buy from the personal representative once letters are issued.

St. Johns River flooding

The St. Johns River runs north through Putnam past Welaka and Palatka, and it floods low riverfront lots in big storms. After Hurricane Irma in 2017, most river gauges in Putnam reached major flood stage, and East Palatka’s water and sewer system went down. During Hurricane Ian in 2022, Welaka’s mayor reported the river rose 3.7 feet, above the Matthew and Irma marks, with about 20 homes underwater. Riverfront houses with flood claims or substantial-damage history are hard to finance. We buy them as-is.

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.
