Data as of September 30, 2026. Data provided by realMLS. Market figures describe homes, not residents. Cite as: Momentum Realty, “Bells River Estates key facts,” movewithmomentum.com/neighborhoods/bells-river-estates-yulee, data as of September 30, 2026.
The median sale here lands at $415,520, or $134.20 per square foot on a median home of 2,889 square feet. That number has to be read against a build stock that spans from 1920 to 2024 with a median year built of 2006 — with that much range in age, condition and updates do more to set price in Bells River Estates than location alone.
Right now there is only a single active listing against a base of 105 homes, which is a thin slate for a buyer to shop from. Days on market run 68, and the median price is up 51.1% year over year — a sharp move that, combined with 4 months of supply and a balanced market read, tells me sellers who price realistically are still finding buyers, but the shallow inventory means the next sale or two will set the tone for where this market settles.

Who Bells River Estates is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable evaluating homes across a wide range of build years, with some dating back to 1920 and others built as recently as 2024.
- Buyers working near the $415,520 median who want negotiating room given a 68-day average time on market.
- Long-term owners who want a community with a high concentration of homestead exemptions (61.2%) rather than investor turnover.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a wide slate of active listings to compare — with only 1 home on the market, choice is limited right now.
- Buyers who need built-in community amenities like a pool or clubhouse — none are identified from current MLS listings.
- Buyers trying to time a dip — the median price is up 51.1% year over year and the market reads balanced, not distressed.

The Bells River Estates buying strategy.
If we were buying in Bells River Estates 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 Bells River Estates.
A Century of Build Stock in One Neighborhood
Bells River Estates covers 105 homes with build years stretching from 1920 to 2024 and a median year built of 2006 — a mix that spans century-old construction alongside homes built in the last two years. The median home runs 2,889 square feet, and with 61.2% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, ownership here skews toward primary residences rather than rental or investment turnover.
Inventory is the defining constraint at the moment: a single active listing against those 105 homes, with 4 months of supply keeping the market in balanced territory even as the median price has moved up 51.1% year over year. Days on market average 68, and no community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so any draw here is about the land and the homes themselves rather than a clubhouse or pool.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Bells River Estates. 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 Bells River Estates 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 3 factors (8.7). Basis: Recent Direction +51.1% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 61% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 100.8% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With only one home active at a time and a build stock spanning from 1920 to 2024, pricing Bells River Estates correctly takes more than a comp sheet — it takes someone who has actually walked homes from different eras in this neighborhood and can speak to what a home near the 2006 median build year should command against an older or newer one. That is the read we bring, along with the discipline not to chase the 51.1% year-over-year move without context on the 4 months of supply behind it.
