Market Heat
Drayton Park is a gated, 289-home community in Duval County built out in 2003-2004, so what you're pricing is a two-decade-old building stock with a compact median living area of about 1,197 square feet. The median sale here sits at $191,000, roughly $161 per square foot, which puts a ceiling on how this community competes against newer product nearby -- condition and updates do most of the work in what a given unit actually closes for.
Pricing is down 17% year-over-year, though it remains up 55% since 2012, so the longer trend is still positive even with this year's pullback. With just one active listing and 1.5 months of supply, inventory is genuinely thin -- that's a seller-leaning setup on paper, but a median of just over 60 days on market and a market heat score of 23 tell you demand isn't rushing in to meet it. Sellers shouldn't assume a quick close; buyers willing to be patient have some room to negotiate on condition.

🟡 Balanced market. 1.7 months of supply and 50% 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 5, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 7 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($187K) is down 18.5% from the prior 12 months ($230K) and up 54% since 2012. With about 18 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 5.

Who Drayton Park is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with a budget near the $191,000 median who want gated access and shared amenities included.
- Buyers planning to update an older unit rather than pay a premium for recent construction.
- Investors comfortable underwriting a non-owner-occupied purchase given the mixed homestead-exemption profile.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need move-in-ready, recently built finishes without a renovation budget.
- Sellers who need a fast close -- the market's median time on market runs past two months.
- Buyers expecting heavy competing-offer pressure from the thin, single-listing inventory picture.
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending August 5 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($187K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($230K) IS the -18.5% one-year change.
Windows contain 7 to 26 sales each (7 in the current window); every figure carries its sample size, and thin markets swing on single closings. Source: Data provided by realMLS. Deemed reliable but not guaranteed.

The Drayton Park buying strategy.
If we were buying in Drayton Park 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 Drayton Park.
A tight market that isn't hot
The supply picture is the headline: 1.5 months of supply and a single active listing, both of which point to a seller-leaning market by the numbers. But a median of just over 60 days on market and a heat score of 23 don't match a typical tight-inventory frenzy -- this reads more as a thin, quiet market than a competitive one, which matters for how you set expectations on timeline.
On price, the $191,000 median and roughly $161 per square foot reflect 2003-2004 construction at around 1,197 square feet median living area -- there's no premium here for new-build finishes. Homestead exemption filings cover roughly 43% of homes, indicating a meaningful share of non-owner-occupied units in the mix, which is worth factoring into how a given unit has been maintained.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Drayton Park. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 5 factors (4.7). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +54% since 2012; Recent Direction -18.5% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 1.7 months of supply; Owner Commitment 43% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 91.7% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.

We track the closings as they happen, price condition-by-condition rather than off a single community average, and can tell you honestly whether a listed unit is priced against the 2003-2004 stock it actually is, or against something newer down the road.
