Jon's Current Read

Price here is set almost entirely by the build itself. Every one of the 84 homes in Gillespie Gardens went up in 2017 or 2018, so there's no older-stock discount and no dated-mechanical risk skewing the numbers — you're pricing a narrow band of newer construction against itself. The median sits at $335,000, working out to $168.88 per square foot on a median 2,072-square-foot floor plan, and with zero active listings right now there's no current inventory to test that number against.

That's the real story for anyone watching this pocket: a 67-day median days-on-market drawn from the last three months of closings, paired with zero homes currently for sale. That combination means a seller listing here isn't competing against a stack of similar homes — they're setting the market fresh. A buyer waiting on this specific community should plan on moving fast once something does list, since there's nothing sitting active to negotiate against.

Gillespie Gardens right now

🟡 Balanced market. 6.0 months of supply and 0% 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 October 1, 2026. Confidence: Low (1 active and pending listings, 2 closed sales in 12 months).

Best for

  • Buyers who want a home built in 2017 or 2018 without weighing an older housing stock
  • Buyers ready to act quickly once a home lists, given the current zero-active-listing count
  • Sellers who want to set a fresh price point rather than compete against other active listings

Probably not for

  • Buyers who need to compare multiple active listings before committing
  • Buyers looking for a lower entry price point than the $335,000 median
  • Buyers wanting an established, older-vintage home with renovation potential

If we were buying in Gillespie Gardens 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 Gillespie Gardens.

Best Buy
Buyers set on a newer-construction home in Duval County who are ready to move quickly once inventory appears.
Biggest Risk
Zero active listings means there is nothing to shop right now and no current inventory to benchmark a new listing against.
Sweet Spot
A move-in-ready home near the median 2,072 square feet, priced close to the $335,000 median.
Avoid If
You want to compare several homes side by side before deciding — there is currently nothing on the market here to compare.

Tight build, tighter supply

Gillespie Gardens is unusual for how narrow its construction window is: every home among the 84 in the community was built in 2017 or 2018, with a median year built of 2018. That consistency means buyers aren't weighing renovation risk or mechanical age against each other — the housing stock is effectively one generation, which simplifies comparison but also means there's no older, lower-priced entry point within the community itself.

At a median $335,000 and $168.88 per square foot on a median 2,072-square-foot home, pricing here tracks fairly tightly to size and finish rather than lot-to-lot variation. About 72.6% of homes carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a market that leans owner-occupied rather than investor-heavy. Combined with zero active listings and a 67-day median days-on-market drawn from the last three months of closings, this is a community where supply is the constraint, not demand.

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

Why work with Momentum here

With zero homes currently active in Gillespie Gardens, there's no live MLS search that surfaces this community for a buyer — it takes someone tracking closed data and reaching out before a listing goes public. Momentum works Duval County closely enough to flag a Gillespie Gardens home the moment it's about to hit the market, and to price a new listing off real comparables — the median $335,000 and $168.88-per-square-foot figures — rather than guesswork, since there's no active inventory to eyeball against.
