Over the 12 months ending 2026-11-12, 5 recorded sales closed at a median of $438,000, $197 per square foot, a median 28 days on market, sellers accepting 100% of original asking. Homes listed or recently sold were built 1990–1992; 5 of 5 report an HOA (median $16/mo); none of the 5 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 28 ft). At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $7,820 ($7,090 with the full homestead exemption).
Mallard Cove is a single-era build: every home dates to 1989-1999, with a median year built of 1990 and a median living area of 2,335 square feet. That consistency is what's actually setting price here, not land scarcity or new construction premiums — the median sits at $431,500, or roughly $190 per square foot, and the spread you'll see between listings comes down to how well each home has been maintained and updated rather than lot size or floor plan.
Inventory is thin: just 1 active listing against 152 total homes in the community, with only 4 closings in the most recent window and 3.0 months of supply — Momentum classifies that as a balanced market, though the small closing count means any single sale can move the read. Momentum's heat score here is 36, and the median 40 days on market backs that up: this isn't a bidding-war community, but it isn't sitting stale either. Prices are up 3.5% year-over-year and about 135% since 2012, so the long-run trend is steady rather than sharp.

Who Mallard Cove is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a home in the low-to-mid $400,000s who are comfortable competing for one of a small number of available listings.
- Buyers who want a consistent, single-era build (1989-1999) and plan to budget for condition-driven updates rather than choosing a newer phase.
- Owner-occupant buyers comfortable in a community where most homes are already owner-occupied rather than investor-held.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want to compare several similar listings side by side before deciding — inventory here is currently down to a single active listing.
- Buyers seeking new or recently built construction — every home in Mallard Cove dates to 1989-1999.
- Investors expecting fast turnover — the 40-day median days-on-market and 3.0 months of supply point to a steady, balanced pace rather than quick resale.

The Mallard Cove buying strategy.
If we were buying in Mallard Cove 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 Mallard Cove.
One build era, one owner-occupied core
With every home built between 1989 and 1999, Mallard Cove doesn't have the newer-phase-versus-older-phase price gap you see in communities built out over decades. What varies instead is how each of the 152 homes has aged — roofs, systems, kitchens — and that's the practical due-diligence list for a buyer here more than school zone or lot premium.
The homestead exemption share sits at 88.2%, a signal that most of this community is owner-occupied rather than investor- or rental-held, which tends to correlate with more consistent home upkeep over time. Reported community amenities are limited to off-site management in the MLS data; verify current amenities and access directly with the HOA, since that's the only piece of this snapshot that isn't a hard market number.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Mallard Cove. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

| HOA dues | MLS listings here mostly enter dues as billed annually, but the median entry is only $191/year across 5 listings (2026-11-13), which usually means a quarterly or monthly amount was entered as annual. Ask the association for the current dues. |

| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Duval County is $1,315/yr (2,001 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
