Over the recorded series, Wells Ridge’s median sold price moved from $46,000 (2012) to $130,812 (12 months ending 2026-08-23) — +184% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $46,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — Wells Ridge’s median moved +20% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2025 peak of $170,000, the current median stands at -23%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 3 to 10 closings a year (10-yr average 6.8). With roughly 6.8 closings a year, Wells Ridge’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.
From the live MLS feed as of 2026-09-03: The homes listed or recently sold were built between 1983 and 1989 (median 1984); 9 of 9 listed or recently sold homes report an HOA, median $330/mo; none of the 8 geocoded listed or recently sold homes sits in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 11 ft).

At Wells Ridge’s $130,812 median and Clay County’s adopted 15.05 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $1,970 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $1,370 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.
Current asking prices run a median $149,500 against the $130,812 recorded sold median (+14%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 2 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 67% of Wells Ridge’s listings are under contract, against 34% for ZIP 32073 and 29% for Clay County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Momentum’s market-heat index for Wells Ridge reads 8/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
With asking prices running +14% over the recorded sold median, a Wells Ridge 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.
