True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of October 2026, the MLS records 73 closed sales in Heather Ridge in Jacksonville, FL since 2002, the most recent in May 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $146,000 to $218,000 (median $170,000), on homes of 1,320 to 1,320 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 7,643 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $315,000, 43 median days on market, with 4,168 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,040 ($2,300 with the full homestead exemption).
Heather Ridge's median sale price sits at $169,000, working out to $128.03 per square foot - one of the more affordable entry points we track in Duval County's resale market. Homes here are moving in a median of 19 days, a pace that signals real buyer interest at this price point rather than a stalled listing.
The numbers come from a thin window of five recent closings, so treat any single figure with some caution - a couple of unusual sales can swing a median more than they would in a higher-volume community. Prices are down 8.4% year over year, even as the long-run trend remains sharply positive: values are up 312% since 2012. That combination - a soft near-term pullback layered on top of a strong multi-year run - is the story to watch here, and it argues for pricing a listing carefully rather than chasing last year's number.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Who Heather Ridge is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting an affordable entry price in Jacksonville, near the $169,000 median.
- Buyers comfortable making decisions on limited recent-sales data and doing extra diligence on comps.
- Sellers who can price realistically against a soft year-over-year trend rather than last year's peak.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a community with a clubhouse, pool, or other shared amenities included in the price.
- Buyers who need a large, high-volume comp set to feel confident in a valuation.
- Sellers expecting to price at the top of the long-run 312% run-up without accounting for the recent pullback.

The Heather Ridge buying strategy.
If we were buying in Heather Ridge 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 Heather Ridge.
Reading the price swing
The 8.4% year-over-year decline in median price is the headline number, but it needs context: since 2012, Heather Ridge values are up 312%, one of the larger long-run gains we track. A single-year dip inside a multi-year run like that is common and does not by itself signal a change in the community's trajectory - it more often reflects which specific homes closed in a given window.
With only five closings in the current window, the median price and per-square-foot figure ($128.03) should be read as directional rather than precise. A market heat score of 31 points to a market that is not running hot right now, which lines up with the price pullback - but the 19-day median days-on-market still suggests correctly priced homes are not sitting long.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Heather Ridge. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a low-volume market like Heather Ridge, five closings can move the median significantly, so pricing a listing - or evaluating an offer - takes someone tracking the underlying comps, not just the headline number. Momentum walks sellers through what is actually driving that 8.4% year-over-year shift versus what is noise from a small sample, and helps buyers move quickly when the right home appears, given the market's 19-day pace.
