Jon's Read · written July 14, 2026

Gentle Woods prices off a small, specific data set: a median of $274,500 across a trailing window of 12 closings, working out to $164.57 per square foot on a median home near 1,820 square feet. With only 5 active listings against 381 homes total, there is not much inventory setting the tone right now, so any single closing can move the read on value more than it would in a deeper market. Homes here span builds from 2003 to 2023, with a median year built of 2005, so buyers are weighing a real range of construction ages and likely condition under one community name.

The market band reads balanced at 6 months of supply, and the heat score of 26 points to a cooler posture rather than a bidding-war environment. Prices are down 5.3% year over year even though they remain up 174% since 2012, which is the more useful long-view number for anyone weighing a hold versus a sale. Median days on market of about 41.5 tells sellers to price at the market, not ahead of it, and tells buyers there is room to negotiate rather than rush.

Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Gentle Woods right now

🟡 Balanced market. 2.4 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 November 12, 2026. Confidence: High (6 active and pending listings, 15 closed sales in 12 months).

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($274K) is down 3.9% from the prior 12 months ($285K) and up 188% since 2012. With about 17 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 November 12.

The 60-Second Overview

Gentle Woods market snapshot (as of November 12, 2026): the median sale price is about $274K ($166 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 28 days on market for closed sales, and 2.4 months of supply, a balanced market. The trailing-12-month median is down 4% from the prior 12 months and up 188% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (15 closings in the current window).

In ZIP 32244 (Jacksonville), 747 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $273K ($167/sq ft), up 1.9% year over year, with a median 41 days on market. Right now 137 active and 67 pending listings put supply at about 2.2 months — a healthy market. See the live ZIP 32244 housing market and the Duval County market.

County records show 13 qualified sales in Gentle Woods across 2024–2025 (8 in 2024, 5 in 2025), median $290,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Flood zones in Gentle Woods: of 14 listing addresses checked against the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, 100% sit outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone X). Individual parcels vary - verify any specific address at msc.fema.gov. See flood zones by neighborhood in Jacksonville.

Gentle Woods is a community of 331 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 2004 and 2023 (median 2005), with a median living area of about 1,810 square feet. 58% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Gentle Woods is a Duval County community of 381 homes built mainly between 2003 and 2023, with a median living area near 1,820 square feet. Current inventory is thin at just 5 active listings, so the community's recent 12-closing sample carries more weight per sale than it would in a higher-volume year.

Best for

  • Buyers targeting a median-range home near $274,500 who are comfortable evaluating condition across a 2003-to-2023 build spread.
  • Sellers who can price at or near the market median and accept a typical marketing period of roughly six weeks (median 41.5 days on market) rather than expecting a quick, above-list sale.
  • Longer-horizon buyers focused on the 174% appreciation since 2012 rather than the most recent 5.3% year-over-year dip.

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want dozens of active listings to compare before deciding — only 5 are currently on the market.
  • Sellers expecting a fast, competitive-offer sale; a heat score of 26 and 6 months of supply point to a balanced, not hot, market.
  • Anyone relying on confirmed community amenities to make the decision — none are identified from current MLS listings.

If we were buying in Gentle Woods 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 Gentle Woods.

Best Buy
Buyers and sellers who want a data-grounded, agent-prepared read on a lower-volume market rather than a guess.
Biggest Risk
A thin 5-listing, 12-closing sample means limited comparables to lean on for pricing precision.
Sweet Spot
Homes built in the community's mid-2000s median range, around 1,820 square feet, priced near the $274,500 median.
Avoid If
You need a fast, high-inventory market with dozens of active comparables to choose from — Gentle Woods isn't that right now.

What's actually driving value here

The $164.57 per square foot figure is the clearest read on where Gentle Woods sits today, and it comes from a modest 12-closing sample, so treat any single comparable with some caution rather than as gospel. Homestead exemptions are filed on 57.7% of homes in the community, a tax-status detail worth knowing when estimating carrying costs on a given property, separate from anything about who owns or lives in a home.

Six months of supply keeps this a balanced market rather than one tilted hard to either side, and a market heat score of 26 reinforces that this is not a fast-moving, multiple-offer environment right now. The 5.3% year-over-year pullback is worth sitting with alongside the 174% gain since 2012 — the near-term number describes current pricing conditions, the long-view number describes the trend a hold has actually delivered. No community amenities are confirmed from current MLS listings, so any amenity claims should be verified directly rather than assumed.

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

Why work with Momentum here

With only 5 active listings and a 12-closing trailing sample, Gentle Woods is not a community where a quick online search gives you a reliable number — pricing here calls for a hand-prepared, agent-built valuation that accounts for the 2003-to-2023 build spread and each property's actual condition, not an automated estimate treating a 20-year-old build range as one uniform product.

What it really costs to own in Gentle Woods

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

Property taxAt today's median asking price of $279,900, the first-year bill with homestead is about $4,300/yr (Duval County total millage 17.865 mills, FY2025-26, Duval County Property Appraiser 2025 final millage chart; Duval County School Board FY2025-26 adopted millage).
HOA duesMLS listings here mostly enter dues as billed annually, but the median entry is only $200/year across 11 listings (2026-11-14), which usually means a quarterly or monthly amount was entered as annual. Ask the association for the current dues.
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. Flood: of 14 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100% sit outside the high-risk zone. Statewide, a Zone X flood policy runs about $500-$700/yr and a high-risk zone $1,200-$2,500/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not quotes).
