Market Heat
Bentwater Place is a single-era Jacksonville community of 553 homes built out between 1994 and 2006 (median build year 2000), with a typical home running about 1,976 square feet. Over the trailing 12 months, the median sale price is $406,250, or $260.91 per square foot — with construction bunched into a 12-year window, price here is driven more by condition and updates than by size or era.
The median is down 10.9% year over year, though it remains up 142% since 2012, so the recent pullback should be read against a much longer run rather than as an isolated data point. For both buyers and sellers, that means treating the current number as one point in a longer cycle, not a floor or a ceiling.

🟡 Balanced market. 3.7 months of supply and 20% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of August 5, 2026. Confidence: High (5 active and pending listings, 13 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($410K) is down 9.3% from the prior 12 months ($452K) and up 146% since 2012. With about 26 sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending August 5.

Who Bentwater Place is best for.
Best for
- Buyers set on a specific build era (1994-2006) who want a consistent architectural style rather than mixed vintages.
- Buyers comfortable moving quickly on a listing, given the median 19.5 days on market and thin current supply.
- Buyers with a budget centered around the median price of $406,250 who plan to buy and hold rather than flip short-term.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want to compare many active listings side by side — only 3 are currently on the market.
- Buyers looking for new or recent construction outside the 1994-2006 build window.
- Buyers expecting the community's longer-term price trend to continue in a straight line without accounting for the recent 10.9% year-over-year pullback.

The Bentwater Place buying strategy.
If we were buying in Bentwater Place 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 Bentwater Place.
What the Numbers Say About Bentwater Place
With just 3 active listings against 2.8 months of supply, Bentwater Place currently sits in seller-leaning territory — the market heat score of 42 reflects a market that favors sellers without runaway competition among buyers. The median 19.5 days on market shows that correctly priced homes clear quickly, but thin inventory also means fewer options for a buyer to compare before deciding.
Ownership here skews toward long-term occupants: the homestead share sits at 79.2%, pointing to a market weighted toward owner-occupied homes rather than investor turnover. Community amenities reported across MLS listings include a playground, pickleball, and tennis courts, with amenities under off-site management — worth confirming directly with the HOA, since access and upkeep can vary.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Bentwater Place. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
