Jon's Current Read

Lakecrest is a thin market right now, and that's the first thing to understand about the price. With only 9 active listings and 10 closings in the trailing window, the median price of $186,250 and median price per square foot of $167.38 are being set by a small handful of transactions, which means condition and individual property differences move the number more than they would in a deeper market.

The current posture is buyer-leaning, backed by 10.8 months of supply, well above what a balanced market carries, and a median 112.5 days on market before a contract comes together. Prices here are down 10% year-over-year, even as the community remains up 238% since 2012. Buyers have room to negotiate on terms and timeline; sellers who want to move need to price to the current data, not to the trend line.

Lakecrest right now

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 12.0 months of supply and 10% 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 July 14, 2026. Confidence: High (10 active and pending listings, 10 closed sales in 12 months).

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($186K) is down 10.0% from the prior 12 months ($207K) and up 237% since 2012. With about 23 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 July 14. Confidence: Medium (10 and 16 sales in the two windows).

The 60-Second Overview

Lakecrest market snapshot (as of July 14, 2026): the median sale price is about $186K ($167 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 113 days on market for closed sales, and 12.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market. The trailing-12-month median is down 10% from the prior 12 months and up 237% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (10 closings in the current window).

Lakecrest sits in Duval County within the Jacksonville market, and its long-run trajectory (+238% since 2012) tells a different story than the current snapshot (down 10% year-over-year), which is the tension a buyer or seller here has to reconcile.

Best for

  • A buyer comfortable with a longer search and negotiation window, given the median 112.5 days on market.
  • A buyer working with a budget near the $186,250 median who wants room to negotiate on price or terms.
  • A buyer prioritizing value per square foot, given the $167.38 median price per square foot, over speed of closing.

Probably not for

  • A buyer who needs a decision within days in a market showing 10.8 months of supply.
  • A seller expecting the +238% since-2012 trend to translate directly into this year's sale price, given the 10% year-over-year decline.
  • A buyer or seller who wants a large pool of comparable, recently closed sales to lean on, given only 10 closings in the current window.

Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 14 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($186K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($207K) IS the -10.0% one-year change.

Windows contain 10 to 32 sales each (10 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 Lakecrest 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 Lakecrest.

Best Buy
A buyer with flexibility on timeline who wants negotiating room rather than a bidding war.
Biggest Risk
The thin sample of 9 active listings and 10 closings means any single sale can swing the median.
Sweet Spot
Sellers who price to today's data, not to the +238% since 2012 story, tend to see the fastest results.
Avoid If
Skip this if you need a fast, high-certainty sale in a low-inventory, high-competition setting.

Reading a Thin Market Correctly

With only 9 active listings and 10 closings feeding the most recent window, Lakecrest doesn't generate the transaction volume that produces a tight, reliable median. The market_heat_score sits at 8, low relative to a hot market, and 10.8 months of supply confirms it: there's more available inventory than the current pace of sales can absorb quickly.

The median 112.5 days on market is the clearest signal for both sides. For sellers, it means realistic pricing at listing, not after a price cut, is what shortens that number. For buyers, it means there is time to do diligence, negotiate repairs or terms, and not feel rushed by competing offers in a market this thin.

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

Why work with Momentum here

In a community with this little closed-sale volume, a generic automated number is not useful; it takes a hand-prepared read of the actual comparable closings and current competition to price a Lakecrest home correctly, whether you're listing into 10.8 months of supply or making an offer with 112.5 median days on market as your leverage.
