Market Heat
Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-09, 6 recorded sales closed at a median of $172,500, $111 per square foot, a median 196 days on market, sellers accepting 86% of original asking (-11% versus the prior year). At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,080 ($2,350 with the full homestead exemption).
Price in Chatham Woods is being set by condition and patience, not by momentum. The median sits at $170,000 with a median of roughly $110 per square foot, and homes are taking about 182 days to close — a long runway that tells you buyers here are negotiating on their own timeline. With a thin closings window of just seven, any single sale can swing the reported numbers, so treat the median as a directional read rather than a precise line.
The posture is a soft market. Prices are down 15% year over year and the heat score of 28 confirms it: this is a slow, buyer-leaning environment. For sellers, that means realistic pricing and a well-prepared home matter more than usual. For buyers, the extended days on market are leverage — there is room to negotiate terms and price when a listing has been sitting.

Who Chatham Woods is best for.
Best for

The Chatham Woods buying strategy.
If we were buying in Chatham Woods 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 Chatham Woods.
A patient market with a wide spread
The two numbers that define Chatham Woods right now are the 182-day median time to close and the 15% year-over-year decline. Together they describe a market with little urgency — listings that need work sit, and buyers have time to be selective. Because only seven closings anchor this snapshot, expect the price spread between a fully updated home and one needing renovation to be wide; the median at $170,000 is a midpoint, not a floor or a ceiling.
The longer arc is more encouraging. Values are up 240% since 2012, so the current pullback reads as a cyclical soft patch rather than a structural decline. That context matters most to buyers who can hold: a slow market with a long history of gains is where negotiating room lives, though nothing here is a promise of future price direction.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Chatham Woods. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
