Secret Woods (Jacksonville, FL): 6 recorded closings in the 12 months ending 2026-08-30, a 12-year price record, and the year-by-year record — every number from recorded MLS closings, none from an estimate model.

In the current window, sellers accepted a median 96.0% of original asking; the median sale took 23 days (window ending 2026-08-30).

The 12-year recorded price history

Over the recorded series, Secret Woods’s median sold price moved from $176,250 (2012) to $407,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-30) — +131% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.

The last decade in Secret Woods, briefly

The recorded series starts in 2012 at $176,250. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Secret Woods’s median moved +44% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $417,500, the current median stands at -3%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 1 to 8 closings a year (10-yr average 5.4). With roughly 5.4 closings a year, Secret Woods’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.

At Secret Woods’s $407,000 median and Duval County’s adopted 17.86 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $7,270 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.
