Transcript
Kettering at eTown, in Jacksonville, is a Duval County community where the median sold price over the last 12 months is 455,000 dollars, and homes take a median of 79 days to sell. Here's what that means if you're watching this one.
Kettering at eTown has about 182 homes, built between 2020 and 2024, in Jacksonville, in Duval County. Over the last 10 years it has averaged about 37 sales a year, and 61 homes sold in the last 12 months. Every number in this video comes from the community page at move with momentum dot com, from realMLS and public records.
In the last 12 months, 61 homes sold at a median of 455,000 dollars. That's 233 dollars a square foot, below a 2025 peak of 245, at 97 point 9 percent of asking. Right now 7 homes are listed and 9 are pending.
56 percent of homes here are under contract, against 26 percent across Duval County, which typically means more competition for the homes that list. That's typical, not a promise. Homes here have sold at 97 point 9 percent of asking, against 96 point 2 percent for the county, so compare each home to recent closings, not to asking prices. Verify whether an HOA or a CDD applies.
Ask for the current tax bill, and remember that Florida resets the assessed value after a sale, so the seller's bill usually isn't what you'll pay. Of the homes listed or recently sold here, 28 of 28 report an HOA, at a median of 240 dollars a month, so ask what the dues cover, and whether a CDD assessment applies. Check the FEMA flood map by address, and get insurance quoted by address.

Kettering at eTown is built-out and recent — every home here went up between 2020 and 2024, with a median build year of 2022, so what you're pricing is construction quality and lot placement, not renovation risk. The median sale sits at $437,560, working out to $238.30 per square foot on a median home of 2,455.5 square feet. With only 19 active listings against 182 total homes and 43 closings in the current window, this is a thin market — small shifts in supply move the numbers fast.
The market band reads balanced, but the trend line is soft: prices are down 7.9% year over year, and homes are sitting a median of 79 days before going under contract. At 5.2 months of supply, sellers don't have enough competing pressure to push price, and buyers who negotiate on days-on-market and condition have real room to work with right now.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Who Kettering at eTown is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a turnkey home built in the last few years with no renovation budget to plan for.
- Buyers who want gated-community amenities — pool, fitness center, clubhouse, dog park — included rather than added on later.
- Buyers comfortable pricing near the community median and negotiating on a slower timeline rather than chasing a bidding war.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to close fast in a high-competition, multiple-offer environment.
- Investors looking for a high concentration of rental-ready inventory — over half of homes here are owner-occupied.
- Buyers hoping to buy below median and resell quickly given the current year-over-year price pull-back.

The Kettering at eTown buying strategy.
If we were buying in Kettering at eTown 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 Kettering at eTown.
A New-Construction Pocket Inside eTown
At 182 total homes, Kettering is a small, defined community, and 51.9% of those homes carry a homestead exemption — a signal that just over half are owner-occupied primary residences rather than second homes or straight rental holds. Every home was built between 2020 and 2024, so the housing stock is uniform in age and largely uniform in construction standards; the variation between listings comes down to lot, upgrades, and floor plan rather than build era.
With 43 closings in the current window and 19 homes actively listed, inventory turns over in small batches rather than a constant stream, so timing matters more here than in larger surrounding communities. A median of 79 days on market, combined with 5.2 months of supply and a 7.9% year-over-year pull-back in price, points to a market where sellers who price to the comps move — those testing higher wait longer.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Kettering at eTown. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

Momentum tracks those closings and the shift in months of supply here directly, so pricing and offer strategy are built on what Kettering is actually doing, not what eTown or Jacksonville overall is doing.
