Bigtree is essentially off the market right now: zero active listings and only two closings in the current window means there is almost nothing live to compare against. Built out between 1981 and 1988, with a median year built of 1983, this is a mature Duval County community where four-plus decades of ownership have let individual homes diverge quite a bit in condition, so value here tends to be driven more by what has been updated than by anything else.
With 71.7% of homes recorded as homestead, Bigtree behaves like a settled, owner-occupied community rather than a rental-churn pocket, so new listings tend to surface only when an owner decides to sell, not on a seasonal clock. For a buyer, that means treating any listing that does appear as a rare data point and moving with intent rather than waiting for a deep pool of comparable inventory to build.
The 60-Second Overview
Bigtree market snapshot (as of September 28, 2026): the median sale price is about $195K ($190 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 12 days on market for closed sales.
Bigtree is a community of 159 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1981 and 1988 (median 1983), with a median living area of about 1,402 square feet. 72% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Bigtree is a 159-home community in Jacksonville (Duval County) built mostly across the 1980s, with a typical home around 1,402 square feet of living space. The combination of near-total owner-occupancy and a current count of zero active listings points to a resale market that trades in small, spaced-out increments rather than steady turnover.

Who Bigtree is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable searching a market with very limited current inventory and willing to wait for the right listing to surface.
- Buyers who prefer an owner-occupied-dominant community, 71.7% homestead, over a rental-heavy one.
- Buyers open to a home built in the 1981-1988 era who are budgeting for age-appropriate updates over time.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a wide slate of active listings to compare side by side right now.
- Buyers seeking newly built construction, since Bigtree's homes date to the 1980s.
- Investors looking for a rental-conversion play, given the community's high owner-occupancy share.

The Bigtree buying strategy.
If we were buying in Bigtree 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 Bigtree.
A settled 1980s community with very thin current turnover
The 159 homes in Bigtree were built between 1981 and 1988, with a median year built of 1983 and a median living area of 1,402 square feet, putting this squarely in the compact, established-home category rather than new construction. Homes of this age are candidates for buyer diligence on roofs, mechanical systems, and prior updates, since two homes built the same year can be in very different condition after this many decades.
The community's amenity set, reported across MLS listings, includes RV/boat storage, a pool, maintained grounds, a barbecue area, and a clubhouse; buyers should verify current access and any associated fees directly with the HOA rather than assuming these carry over unchanged. Right now there are zero active listings and only two closings in the recent window, so the market here is quiet rather than absent, but there simply is not much current inventory to browse.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Bigtree. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Composite is the plain average of the 3 factors (8.8). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +153% since 2012; Owner Commitment 72% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 100.0% sale-to-list.

Why work with Momentum here
When a community like Bigtree sits at zero active listings, pricing a home correctly depends on pulling the right closed comparables and reading them against the property's actual condition and age, 1981-1988 built, median 1983, rather than leaning on a generic automated number. Momentum's agents prepare that read by hand for each Bigtree home, cross-checking the community's reported amenities with the HOA directly so buyers and sellers are working from verified, current information instead of stale listing data.
