Jon's Read · written October 26, 2026

Brightwater is a tight, consistent product: 221 homes built in 2002 and 2003, with a median footprint right around 1,741 square feet. When the stock is this uniform in age and size, price gets set by condition and updates rather than by floor plan or vintage. The median sits at $310,000, or about $186 per square foot, and the spread you see in any given listing is mostly about how much work the next owner inherits.

The posture here is genuinely balanced — 3.7 months of supply, a market heat score of 40, and a median of 41 days on market. That is neither a landgrab nor a fire sale. Sellers should expect to earn their price with presentation and realistic pricing; buyers have enough room to inspect and negotiate without the pressure of a bidding war. Year-over-year the market is up a modest 3.3%, and values are up 109% since 2012 — steady, not speculative.

Figures in this note are as of October 26, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Brightwater right now

🟡 Balanced market. 3.7 months of supply and 0% 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 10, 2026. Confidence: High (4 active and pending listings, 13 closed sales in 12 months).

🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($310K) is up 3.3% from the prior 12 months ($300K) and up 109% since 2012. With about a dozen 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 10.

Brightwater is a community of 221 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 2002 and 2003 (median 2003), with a median living area of about 1,741 square feet. 49% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

A gated, amenity-heavy community of early-2000s homes in Jacksonville's Duval County, where the HOA carries grounds and structure maintenance and the price conversation turns almost entirely on condition.

Best for

  • Buying for a lock-and-leave lifestyle where grounds and structure maintenance are handled by the HOA
  • Prioritizing gated access and on-site amenities like a pool, fitness center, and dog park
  • Shopping around the $310,000 median and willing to wait for the right condition rather than the first listing

Probably not for

  • Needing substantially more than roughly 1,700 square feet or a newer build than the early 2000s
  • Wanting to avoid HOA dues, rules, and any potential rental restrictions
  • Requiring a wide selection to compare, given how few homes list here at a time

Transcript

Brightwater, in Jacksonville, is a Duval County community where the median sold price over the last 12 months is 310,000 dollars, and homes take a median of 41 days to sell. Here's what that means if you're watching this one.

Brightwater has about 221 homes, built between 2002 and 2003, in Jacksonville, in Duval County. Over the last 10 years it has averaged about 13 sales a year, and 13 homes sold in the last 12 months. Every number in this video comes from the community page at move with momentum dot com, from realMLS and public records.

In the last 12 months, 13 homes sold at a median of 310,000 dollars. That's 186 dollars a square foot, below a 2025 peak of 194, at 96 point 3 percent of asking. Right now 4 homes are listed and 0 are pending.

0 percent of homes here are under contract, against 31 percent across Duval County, which typically means less competition for the homes that list. That's typical, not a promise. Homes here have sold at 96 point 3 percent of asking, against 96 point 5 percent for the county, so compare each home to recent closings, not to asking prices. Verify whether an HOA or a CDD applies.

At today's median asking price, the page estimates a first-year property tax bill with homestead of about 4,400 dollars, at Duval County's total millage of 17 point 865 mills. Of the homes listed or recently sold here, 15 of 15 report an HOA, at a median of 325 dollars a month, so ask what the dues cover, and whether a CDD assessment applies. Of 14 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100 percent sit outside the high-risk zone; still check the map by address, and get insurance quoted by address.

    Northeast Florida home sales dip in September as inventory tightens

    Closed sales across the six-county Northeast Florida Association of Realtors area fell 7.7% year over year to 1,608, with the median price at $398,566, up 2.8%. Active inventory dropped 18.4% to 6,348 homes. Median prices were $344,000 in Duval, $575,000 in St. Johns, $355,000 in Clay and $496,500 in Nassau.

    What it may mean for the marketLower inventory with softer sales volume points to a thinner supply of listings across all four counties, with Clay the only one of the four showing a year-over-year price decline. The site is about 5 miles southwest of Brightwater.

    Council committee defers vote on incentives for Downtown Publix at 119 W. Beaver St.

If we were buying in Brightwater today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 Brightwater.

Best Buy
Buyers who want a low-maintenance, gated home at a mid-range price point with amenities handled by the HOA.
Biggest Risk
Very thin inventory — only a handful of active listings means limited choice and limited comps.
Sweet Spot
A well-maintained home near the $310,000 median where the updates are already done.
Avoid If
You need a large footprint or want to skip HOA dues and rules entirely.

What the balance really means

With only 4 active listings against 221 homes and a 13-sale closing window, inventory is thin in absolute terms even though the supply math reads balanced. Practically, that means the right home does not come up often, and when it does, your comps are limited. Lean on recent closings rather than asking prices to anchor value, and be ready to move on a well-kept unit without overpaying for a dated one.

The amenity package is deep for a community this size — pool, fitness center, clubhouse, dog park, a park, barbecue areas, and gated key-card entry, with both part-time and full-time management reported, plus grounds and structure maintenance. That carries an HOA cost, and a homestead share near 49% means a meaningful portion of the stock is not owner-occupied. Confirm current dues, reserves, and any rental caps with the HOA before you write; the amenities note is drawn from MLS listings and should be verified.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Brightwater. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

In a community where price is driven by condition and the comp set is this small, our value is calibration — reading recent closings against the actual state of a home so you neither overpay for cosmetics nor undervalue genuine updates. We will also push to get HOA dues, reserves, and any rental restrictions in writing before you commit, because with a homestead share near half, those details move the math.

What it really costs to own in Brightwater

The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.

HOA duesMedian $325/month across 12 MLS listings (most billed monthly; 2026-11-13). Dues cover what the documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study.
Home and flood insuranceThe average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Duval County is $1,315/yr (2,001 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction.
