Bent Creek
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Price here is driven mostly by condition and size, not by any single build era. Bent Creek spans homes built from 1978 through 2023, with the median home dating to 2001 and offering roughly 2,397 square feet. That range is wide enough that two homes at very different points can trade near the median of $350,000, so the real story is what you get inside the walls and how updated it is, not the address alone.
The current posture is balanced, tilting slightly toward buyers. The market heat score sits at 42, and prices are down 2.8% year over year while homes take a median of 42 days to sell. For sellers, that means condition and pricing discipline matter more than they did a year ago. For buyers, there is room to negotiate and time to underwrite a purchase without panic.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Bent Creek market snapshot (as of October 26, 2026): the median sale price is about $370K ($167 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 11 days on market for closed sales.
Bent Creek is a community of 491 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1978 and 2023 (median 2001.0), with a median living area of about 2,397 square feet. 82% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Bent Creek is an established Jacksonville community of 496 homes in Duval County, with a high homestead share of 82.3% that points to an owner-occupied, primary-residence base rather than a churn of investor turnover.
Who Bent Creek is best for.
Best for
- Primary-residence buyers prioritizing living space around the 2,397-square-foot median over a brand-new build
- Long-hold owners comfortable in a stable, high-homestead community rather than a fast-flip market
- Value-focused buyers willing to trade updates for a lower entry against the $350,000 median
Probably not for
- Short-term buyers hoping to resell quickly while prices are down 2.8% year over year
- Anyone needing a same-week close given the 42-day median days-on-market
- Buyers wanting uniform, current finishes across a build span of 1978 to 2023

The Bent Creek buying strategy.
If we were buying in Bent Creek 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 Bent Creek.
What actually moves the median here
At about $177 per square foot against a median just over 2,300 square feet, Bent Creek is priced as a space-first community. The wide build span, from 1978 to 2023, means finishes vary enormously property to property. An updated home and an original one can sit close together in price, so the median tells you the center of the market, not the ceiling or the floor. Walk each listing on its own merits.
The high homestead share suggests homes here tend to be held rather than flipped, which historically limits how much fresh inventory hits the market at once. Combined with a 42-day median days-on-market and a slightly negative year-over-year move, the picture is a steady, low-drama market where well-prepared listings still move and overpriced ones sit.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Bent Creek. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
Because the price story here is condition-driven, not sticker-driven, the value is in reading each home against the median rather than trusting a headline number. We underwrite the specific property, price against a market that is softening slightly, and set expectations around a median 42-day timeline so neither side overreacts to a quiet week.
