Jon's Current Read

Median resale price here sits at $205,000, down 10.5% from a year ago after a run that has still left values up 116% since 2012 — this reads as a correction inside a longer uptrend, not a reversal of it. Price per square foot is $166.52, and the typical listing spends 57 days on market before going under contract, both consistent with the balanced market label this community carries right now.

With only 10 active listings against 368 homes in the community and 37 closings in the trailing window, supply is thin even though the pace — 3.2 months of supply — is not urgent. That combination favors patient buyers who can wait for the right unit rather than compete for it, and it means sellers should price to the recent trend rather than to last year's numbers: a 57-day median and a negative year-over-year print are not a market that rewards ambitious asking prices.

Reserve At James Island Lc right now

🟡 Balanced market. 3.2 months of supply and 17% 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 July 14, 2026. Confidence: Very High (12 active and pending listings, 37 closed sales in 12 months).

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($205K) is down 10.5% from the prior 12 months ($229K) and up 116% since 2012.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending July 14. Confidence: Very High (37 and 32 sales in the two windows).

The 60-Second Overview

Reserve At James Island Lc market snapshot (as of July 14, 2026): the median sale price is about $205K ($167 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 57 days on market for closed sales, and 3.2 months of supply, a balanced market. The trailing-12-month median is down 10% from the prior 12 months and up 116% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (37 closings in the current window).

Reserve At James Island Lc is a community of 368 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1999 and 2022 (median 2001.0), with a median living area of about 3,386 square feet. 86% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Reserve At James Island Lc is a gated community in Jacksonville's Duval County with homes built between 1999 and 2022 (median build year 2001) and a median living area of 3,386 square feet, set behind a full recreational amenity package rather than a stripped-down HOA.

Best for

  • Buyers wanting a larger home (median 3,386 sq ft) with full-service gated amenities who can wait through a typical 57-day market.
  • Move-up buyers comfortable at a $205,000 median price point who plan to hold long-term rather than flip.
  • Buyers who value on-site security, fitness, tennis, and pool amenities bundled into one gated address.

Probably not for

  • Buyers who need to close in a hurry — inventory is thin (10 active listings) and days on market run 57.
  • Investors expecting fast turnover — the 86.1% homestead share points to an owner-occupancy-heavy resale pattern rather than frequent flips.
  • Buyers assuming last year's pricing — the median is down 10.5% year-over-year from where recent comparables might suggest.

If we were buying in Reserve At James Island Lc 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 Reserve At James Island Lc.

Best Buy
Buyers who want a large floorplan and a full gated amenity package and can be patient through a 57-day median market.
Biggest Risk
Prices are down 10.5% year-over-year, so recent comparables may run ahead of where the market is pricing today.
Sweet Spot
Move-up buyers targeting the roughly 3,386-square-foot range who value gated security and recreation amenities.
Avoid If
You need a fast, competitive-bidding sale or purchase — 10 active listings and 3.2 months of supply make this a slower balanced market, not a bidding-war environment.

Behind the gate: what the numbers show

The median price of $205,000 and per-square-foot figure of $166.52 sit against a median living area of 3,386 square feet — worth checking condition and updates on any specific listing rather than assuming the per-square-foot math carries through evenly across the community. Homestead exemptions are filed on about 86.1% of homes, an ownership pattern weighted toward long-term occupancy over investor turnover, consistent with the thin 10-listing active inventory against 368 total homes and 3.2 months of supply.

Construction spans 1999 to 2022 with a median build year of 2001, so the gate mixes original-era homes with newer infill — worth confirming build year on any specific address rather than assuming the community median applies. The amenity package is full for a gated community: clubhouse, pool and a separate children's pool, fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, a playground, car wash area, 24-hour security, and on-site management, with trash included in dues. Verify current amenities and gate access directly with the HOA, as MLS-reported amenity lists can lag reality.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Reserve At James Island Lc. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Momentum builds its read from actual closed comparables inside the gate, the -10.5% year-over-year trend, and the 57-day pace, and prepares that read by hand rather than publishing an automated estimate.
