Jon's Current Read

Hillcrest Bluff's 109 homes span a wide build era, from a 1924 original to construction as recent as 2016, with a median build year of 2015 skewing the community toward newer stock. Median price sits at $335,500, working out to $146.72 per square foot against a median home size of 1,881 square feet — a figure that reflects a mix of legacy and comparatively new homes rather than one uniform product type.

The current posture is thin. There are zero active listings in Hillcrest Bluff right now, and the trailing window shows only 4 closings, so treat the median figures as a small-sample read rather than a deep, liquid market. Where transactions have happened, homes moved in a median of 30 days, prices are up 2.6% year over year, and the market heat score sits at 53 — a moderate, not overheated, read. For sellers, that thin inventory can work in your favor; for buyers, it means patience and being ready to move when something does list.

Hillcrest Bluff right now

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 12.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.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: Medium (3 active and pending listings, 3 closed sales in 12 months).

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($322K) is down 1.5% from the prior 12 months ($327K). With about 4 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 October 1. Confidence: Low (3 and 4 sales in the two windows).

Best for

  • Buyers targeting a median price near $335,500 who are flexible on exact timing.
  • Buyers comfortable evaluating homes individually rather than comparing a deep, uniform inventory pool.
  • Long-term holders who value a low-turnover, largely owner-occupied pocket of Duval County.

Probably not for

  • Buyers who need to choose among multiple active listings this month — there are none right now.
  • Buyers who want uniform, single-vintage new construction rather than a mix spanning 1924 to 2016.
  • Investors seeking high listing turnover or a large flip and rental comp set.

Windows contain 1 to 8 sales each (3 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.

If we were buying in Hillcrest Bluff 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

Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.

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 Hillcrest Bluff.

Best Buy
Buyers who want an established Duval County address and are willing to wait for the right listing rather than choose from a deep pool.
Biggest Risk
With zero active listings and only 4 closings tracked, the pricing data here is thin and can shift fast.
Sweet Spot
Buyers comfortable with a wide range of home vintages, from 1924 to 2016 construction, who prioritize location over uniform new-build systems.
Avoid If
You need to choose from several active listings right now — there simply aren't any today.

Price Per Square Foot and Ownership Mix

At a median of $146.72 per square foot on a median 1,881-square-foot home, Hillcrest Bluff prices moderately for a community with this wide an age spread. Because homes here run from a 1924 build to 2016 construction, with a median build year of 2015, buyers should expect meaningfully different maintenance and systems profiles from one listing to the next — this isn't a single-vintage subdivision where every roof and HVAC system is the same age.

Roughly 71.6% of homes in Hillcrest Bluff carry a homestead exemption, pointing to an ownership base weighted toward owner-occupancy rather than investor or rental turnover. Combined with zero active listings and a trailing window of just 4 closings, this reads as a stable, low-turnover pocket of the market rather than one with regular inventory churn.
