Deerwood Acres is a small, established pocket in Middleburg with just 35 homes and a build history running from 1972 to 2016. That long span is the story: this isn't a uniform subdivision, and the homes vary in age and condition rather than being stamped from one template. With a median living area right around 1,448 square feet, the housing stock leans modest in size, which keeps the price conversation grounded in condition and updates rather than square footage.
The market posture here is quiet and thin. A 35-home community trades infrequently, so a single listing can move the read in either direction, and comparable sales require patience. For a seller, condition and a realistic read of a wide-spread market matter more than chasing a headline number. For a buyer, the mix of eras means you should underwrite each home on its own merits — a 1970s house and a 2016 house in the same community are not the same purchase.
The 60-Second Overview
Deerwood Acres market snapshot (as of August 21, 2026): the median sale price is about $276K ($193 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 56 days on market for closed sales.
Deerwood Acres is a compact Clay County community where roughly half the homes carry a homestead exemption, a sign of a stable owner-occupant base rather than a churn of short-term turnover.

The Deerwood Acres buying strategy.
If we were buying in Deerwood Acres 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 Deerwood Acres.
A wide age band in a small footprint
With a median year built around 1992 and homes dating as far back as 1972 and as recent as 2016, Deerwood Acres asks a buyer to look closely. Two homes at the same asking level can differ sharply in roof age, systems, and layout depending on where they fall in that four-decade range. The median living size near 1,448 square feet points to homes that are practical rather than sprawling, so value tends to be driven by renovation quality and mechanical condition more than by size.
Because only 35 homes exist here, inventory is naturally scarce and price signals are noisy. There is no tidy range to quote — the spread is condition-led. That makes local, home-by-home judgment far more useful than any single averaged figure, and it rewards a buyer or seller who reads the actual house in front of them.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Deerwood Acres. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 35-home community with thin, infrequent trading and a wide age band, generic pricing tools fall short. We underwrite each home on its own condition, age, and systems, track the handful of local comparables closely, and tell you plainly when a listing's asking price does not match what the house actually is.
