Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-13, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $660,000, $346 per square foot, a median 43 days on market, sellers accepting 97% of original asking. Homes listed or recently sold were built 1961–1972; none of the 3 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 12 ft). At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $11,790 ($11,060 with the full homestead exemption).
Bentin Estates in Jacksonville Beach is small enough that the numbers move on individual sales rather than a trend line. The current data set puts the median price at $660,000, which works out to $345.91 per square foot — a figure produced by whichever homes actually closed, not an average across a deep pool of comparables.
With zero active listings on the market right now and only 3 closings feeding the current data set, there is no live inventory to shop and very little cushion for pricing either direction. A median 43 days on market says these homes do not move instantly, so a seller waiting on a specific number needs the right buyer to show up — not just any buyer.

The Bentin Estates buying strategy.
If we were buying in Bentin 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 Bentin Estates.
Thin Market, Real Numbers
The $345.91 per square foot figure is the clearest single data point available for Bentin Estates, and it is worth treating as a snapshot rather than a trend. With only 3 closings behind the current median, the next home to close — larger, smaller, more finished, less finished — could shift both the median price and the per-square-foot number meaningfully.
Zero active listings means there is nothing to tour in Bentin Estates today; buyers interested in this pocket of Jacksonville Beach need to watch for a new listing to surface rather than compare options side by side. A median 43 days on market from the recent closings suggests sellers should not expect an instant sale even with no competing inventory — pricing still has to match what a buyer is actually willing to pay.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Bentin Estates. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here
