Over the recorded series, Bentwater Place’s median sold price moved from $162,000 (2012) to $407,450 (12 months ending 2026-10-01) — +152% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $162,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Bentwater Place’s median moved +51% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $460,000, the current median stands at -11%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 14 to 35 closings a year (10-yr average 25.5).
Of the 54 recorded Bentwater Place closings since 2024, half landed between $392,500 and $491,500 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $306,000 and the highest $610,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

|---|---|---|
| Under $350,000 | 6 (11%) | |
| $350,000 – $400,000 | 8 (15%) | |
| $400,000 – $450,000 | 15 (28%) | |
| $450,000 – $500,000 | 15 (28%) | |

The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($277 vs $240) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,372–1,617 sq ft | $277 | $408,700 | $330,000 – $487,500 | 18 |
| Mid-size homes 1,643–1,749 sq ft | $271 | $470,000 | $325,000 – $525,000 | 18 |
| Larger homes 1,750–2,424 sq ft | $240 | $456,000 | $306,000 – $610,000 | 18 |

At Bentwater Place’s $407,450 median and Duval County’s adopted 17.86 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,280 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,540 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Duval County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $533,000 against the $407,450 recorded sold median (+31%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 0.9 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 50% of Bentwater Place’s listings are under contract, against 24% for ZIP 32246 and 28% for Duval County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Momentum’s market-heat index for Bentwater Place reads 54/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +31% over the recorded sold median, a Bentwater Place listing priced against the closed record above stands out against its competition; one priced against the asking crowd joins the statewide list of homes that never sold.
