Ashford is a compact, established Duval County community of 385 homes, virtually all built between 1993 and 2003 (median year built 2000), with a typical floorplan running about 2,318 square feet — a narrow, single-era build-out rather than a mixed-vintage subdivision. A 76% homestead-exemption share also points to a stock of owner-held homes rather than one turning over through frequent resale or investor activity, which tends to keep supply tight and each closing driven more by individual upkeep and updates than by lot or floorplan differences.
At a median of $337,500 ($164.57 per square foot), Ashford's trailing window shows price down 6.2% year over year, even as the community is still up 196% since 2012 — a pullback from a longer run rather than a reversal of it. A market heat score of 36 and zero active listings at this snapshot point to thin, closely-held inventory: sellers should price to the most recent comparable sales rather than the multi-year trend, and buyers tracking this pocket should be ready to move quickly once something does list.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
Ashford right now
🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 15.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 18, 2026. Confidence: Medium (5 active and pending listings, 4 closed sales in 12 months).
🟢 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($408K) is up 33.6% from the prior 12 months ($305K) and up 238% since 2012. With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending October 18.

The 60-Second Overview
Ashford market snapshot (as of October 18, 2026): the median sale price is about $408K ($178 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 46 days on market for closed sales, and 15.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market. The trailing-12-month median is up 34% from the prior 12 months and up 238% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (4 closings in the current window).
Ashford is a community of 125 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1993 and 2003 (median 1999), with a median living area of about 2,396 square feet. 82% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Ashford's story right now is scarcity: a single-era, owner-anchored community where nothing was actively listed at last snapshot, so the numbers below reflect a small handful of recent closings rather than a broad, active market.

Who Ashford is best for.
Best for
- Buyers set on a specific, single-era build style (1993-2003) who are willing to wait for the right listing to surface.
- Long-term owners or move-up buyers comfortable pricing off a small recent-sales sample rather than a deep pool of comps.
- Buyers targeting a home near the $337,500 median with roughly 2,318 square feet who can move quickly once something lists.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to compare multiple active listings side by side — there is currently no active inventory here.
- Anyone shopping strictly on year-over-year price momentum, given the recent 6.2% pullback.
- Buyers uncomfortable with pricing decisions based on a trailing window of just 6 closings.

The Ashford buying strategy.
If we were buying in Ashford today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Ashford.
A Small Sample, Read Carefully
The last closings window here included just 6 sales, so the median days-on-market figure of 46 and the $164.57 per-square-foot number should be read as directional rather than exact — a single unusual closing can move both meaningfully in a community this size. Still, a 46-day median suggests homes that are priced correctly are not sitting for long once thin inventory becomes available.
A market heat score of 36 sits on the cooler side, consistent with the 6.2% year-over-year price pullback, but the 196% gain since 2012 is the more important number for anyone who has owned here a while — this is a community that has done most of its appreciating already. With zero active listings at this snapshot and 76% of the 385 homes carrying a homestead exemption, expect availability to be driven by individual owner decisions rather than a steady pipeline of new listings.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Ashford. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +238% since 2012; Recent Direction +33.6% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 15.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 82% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 98.9% sale-to-list.
