Ridgecrest Home Values: What Homes Actually Sell For

Ridgecrest (Orange Park, FL): 24 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-30, a 15-year price record, and sales split by price band and home size — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

In the current window, sellers accepted a median 98.3% of original asking; the median sale took 28 days (window ending 2026-08-30).

The 15-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, Ridgecrest’s median sold price moved from $119,900 (2012) to $351,750 (12 months ending 2026-08-30) — +193% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in Ridgecrest, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2012 at $119,900. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Ridgecrest’s median moved +51% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2023 peak of $362,500, the current median stands at -3%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 17 to 48 closings a year (10-yr average 29.3).

Where Ridgecrest sales actually landed, 2024–2026

Of the 58 recorded Ridgecrest closings since 2024, half landed between $317,750 and $386,250 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $211,000 and the highest $485,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

What homes of your size have sold for in Ridgecrest

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 ($199 vs $164) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.

What is on the market in Ridgecrest right now

From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: 4 active listings (plus 1 pending) asking from $344,900 to $389,900, median $380,000; 1 of 4 have been on the market over 60 days (median 25 days so far); the homes listed or recently sold were built between 1979 and 2007 (median 1985); none of the 16 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 83 ft). For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current Ridgecrest listings →

At Ridgecrest’s $351,750 median and Clay County’s adopted 15.05 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,290 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $4,700 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 Clay County tax page.

Selling in Ridgecrest right now: what the record says

Current asking prices run a median $380,000 against the $351,750 recorded sold median (+8%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 2.1 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 33% of Ridgecrest’s listings are under contract, against 30% for ZIP 32065 and 28% for Clay County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Momentum’s market-heat index for Ridgecrest reads 53/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).

With asking prices running +8% over the recorded sold median, a Ridgecrest 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.

How Ridgecrest compares with its neighbors

Communities buyers shopping Ridgecrest are also weighing (nearest by map distance), each on its own recorded 12-month closings. A median well above the neighbors is a ceiling to price against; well below is where the value argument lives.
