Market Heat
As of October 2026, Walnut Bend in Jacksonville, FL has 1 home for sale. Over the 12 months ending 2026-10-20, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $388,000, $202 per square foot, a median 75 days on market, sellers accepting 97% of original asking (-3% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1983–1987; none of the 5 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 27 ft). At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $6,930 ($6,200 with the full homestead exemption).
Momentum Realty in Walnut Bend: our agents closed 2 homes here for buyers and sellers in the last 12 months (brokerage closed records through October 2026). Work with Jacksonville real estate agents at Momentum →
Walnut Bend's homes were built between 1976 and 1989, with a median year built of 1985 and a median living area of about 1,986 sq ft. The most recent median sale price is $394,000, or roughly $193 per square foot, and that figure is essentially flat year over year (down 0.5%) after a long run of appreciation — prices here are up 169% since 2012.
Right now there are zero active listings and only 4 closings in the tracked window, so this is a thin, low-volume market and any single sale can move the read. The median time to close is about 97 days, longer than a fast-moving market, and homestead exemptions cover roughly 72% of the 342 homes, pointing to a stable ownership base rather than heavy turnover. For a buyer, that means patience while waiting for something to list; for a seller, it means pricing near the recent median and planning for a longer runway to close.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
Walnut Bend right now
🟡 Balanced market. 4.0 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 20, 2026. Confidence: Low (2 active and pending listings, 3 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($388K) is down 3.0% from the prior 12 months ($400K) and up 150% 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 20. Confidence: Low (3 and 7 sales in the two windows).

Who Walnut Bend is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a home near the $394,000 median who can wait for the right listing to surface.
- Long-horizon owners comfortable with a 1976-1989-built home and a slower resale market.
- Sellers who can price near the recent median and allow a longer closing runway (about 97 days).
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to choose among several active listings today — there are currently none.
- Anyone working a tight closing deadline, given the median 97-day time to close.
- Investors looking for high transaction volume to benchmark comps against — only 4 recent closings exist.

The Walnut Bend buying strategy.
If we were buying in Walnut Bend 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 Walnut Bend.
A Slow, Steady 1980s Pocket
Since 2012, the median price in Walnut Bend has climbed 169%, but the current reading is flat — down just 0.5% year over year — which puts the community in a cooling-off phase rather than a correction. At a market heat score of 15, this reads as a cold market relative to the scale tracked here.
The housing stock itself is consistent: built between 1976 and 1989 (median year built 1985), running a median of about 1,986 sq ft, at a median $193 per square foot. With only 4 recorded closings in the current window and no active listings, expect long stretches with little to report, punctuated by individual sales that can shift the median more than they would in a higher-volume area.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Walnut Bend. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Walnut Bend buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (7.1). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +150% since 2012; Recent Direction -3.0% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 4.0 months of supply; Pricing Power 97.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community with only 4 closings in the current window and zero active listings, the median price alone will not tell you what a specific house is worth — that takes a hand-prepared valuation from someone tracking Walnut Bend sale by sale, not an automated estimate. Momentum pulls recorded sales, ownership, and building data directly from the realmls feed and county parcel records so the pricing conversation starts from verified facts.
