Market Heat
Hawkins Cove is a Jacksonville (Duval County) community of 454 homes built between 1999 and 2022, with a median build year of 2002 and a median living area of 2,092 square feet. The median sale price sits at $442,000, working out to about $229.85 per square foot, and that price has climbed 4.6% year over year and 176% since 2012 — a long, steady run rather than a recent spike.
Right now there are zero active listings in Hawkins Cove, so there is nothing on the market to benchmark a new listing against directly. The 8 closings in the most recent window moved in a median of just over 19 days, and the market heat score sits at 53 — a moderate reading, not a frenzy. For a seller, that combination argues for pricing off recent closed comps rather than guessing at what the empty active sheet would support. For a buyer, it means patience: when something does list here, it likely will not sit long.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
Hawkins Cove right now
🟡 Balanced market. 2.4 months of supply and 50% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.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 (4 active and pending listings, 10 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($414K) is down 10.5% from the prior 12 months ($462K) and up 159% 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.

Who Hawkins Cove is best for.
Best for
- A buyer targeting a home near the community's median size of roughly 2,092 square feet and comfortable budgeting around the $442,000 median.
- A buyer who wants an established community (homes dating to 1999–2022) rather than ground-up new construction.
- A seller who can price off recent closed comps and move quickly, given a median time-to-sale of just over 19 days on the last batch of closings.
Probably not for
- A buyer who wants to compare multiple active listings side by side before deciding — there are none on the market right now.
- A buyer or seller expecting a published algorithm-generated value number instead of a comp-built price.
- An investor prioritizing high rental turnover — about two-thirds of homes here carry a homestead exemption, consistent with primary-residence ownership.

The Hawkins Cove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hawkins Cove 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.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
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 Hawkins Cove.
Price per square foot, home age, and a market with no current inventory
At a median of $229.85 per square foot and a median living area of 2,092 square feet, Hawkins Cove prices land in a fairly narrow band for the community — but with homes built anywhere from 1999 to 2022, two houses at the same square footage can carry very different renovation histories. That is a condition-driven market: the number on a listing tells you less than a walk-through will.
About 67.4% of the 454 homes in the community carry a homestead exemption, which points to a base of owner-occupied primary residences rather than heavy investor or short-term turnover. Reported community amenities include trash service, maintenance of the grounds, and off-site management — standard HOA-covered upkeep rather than resident-facing recreational amenities. As with any HOA figure, verify current amenities and access directly with the association; this is reported across MLS listings for the community, not confirmed HOA documentation.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hawkins Cove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +159% since 2012; Recent Direction -10.5% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 2.4 months of supply; Owner Commitment 74% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 97.1% sale-to-list.

Why work with Momentum here
With zero active listings in Hawkins Cove at the moment, there is no public inventory to shop — finding or timing a purchase here depends on tracking closed activity and knowing when a home is about to come to market. On the sell side, a median of just over 19 days on market for recent closings means a listing needs to be priced and presented right from day one; there is no forgiving runway to test a number. We build the price from the closed-sale record for this specific community rather than a generic estimate, and we track the closing pace here so a listing timeline reflects what Hawkins Cove is actually doing, not a citywide average.
