Market Heat
Crystal Springs is a Duval County community of 1,115 homes with a wide build spread, from 1910 to 2023, with a median year built of 1992 and a median size just under 2,000 square feet. That range of vintages is the real pricing story: value here is set more by individual home condition and updates than by a tight, uniform product, which is why the median price per square foot of $203.62 is the more reliable pricing anchor than any single sale.
As of 2026-07-11 there are zero active listings, so a buyer cannot shop the community today the way you can in an area with visible inventory. Homes have been taking a median of 59 days to sell, prices are down 1.7% year over year, and the market heat score sits at 21, a quiet reading. Zoom out and the community has still appreciated 255% since 2012, so the current softness reads as a pause in a long uptrend, not a reversal of it.

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 20.0 months of supply and 17% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.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 July 14, 2026. Confidence: Medium (6 active and pending listings, 5 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($260K) is down 1.7% from the prior 12 months ($265K) and up 255% 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 July 14. Confidence: Low (5 and 17 sales in the two windows).

Who Crystal Springs is best for.
Best for
- A buyer comfortable evaluating an older or updated home on its own condition rather than by a fixed price formula.
- A buyer targeting a home near the median size, around 1,994.5 square feet, and willing to wait for the next listing given the current zero-active-listing market.
- A long-horizon buyer who is comfortable with a quiet current pace in exchange for a community with a 255% appreciation record since 2012.
Probably not for
- A buyer who needs to compare several active listings side by side before deciding; there are none on the market right now.
- A buyer expecting a fast close; the median time on market currently runs to 59 days.
- A buyer looking for a single, uniform price point across the community rather than condition-driven pricing across homes built from 1910 to 2023.

The Crystal Springs buying strategy.
If we were buying in Crystal Springs 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.
Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.
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 Crystal Springs.
Pricing a community with no two houses alike
With homes dating from 1910 to 2023 and a median year built of 1992, Crystal Springs mixes older, updated-or-not housing stock with newer construction inside the same footprint. That is exactly the kind of market where the median price of $260,494 tells you less than the $203.62 median price per square foot, because two homes of similar size can land far apart in price depending on age and condition alone.
Recent activity is thin, the current snapshot reflects a window of 5 closings, and there are no active listings to compare against right now. A median 59-day time on market and a 21 market heat score both point to a slower-moving, buyer-patient stretch, even as the 255% gain since 2012 confirms the community has built real, durable value over the longer run.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Crystal Springs. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +255% since 2012; Recent Direction -1.7% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 20.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 70% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 95.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With zero active listings in Crystal Springs at the moment, finding the next available home here depends on relationships and off-market awareness, not just a portal search. And because the housing stock spans built years from 1910 to 2023, pricing a specific home correctly takes a hand-prepared, condition-by-condition valuation rather than a generic number, which is how we approach every Crystal Springs opinion of value.
