Part of the Merrill master-planned community in Jacksonville, FL — see all Merrill homes for sale (9 listings across 3 villages and sections in the MLS).
Merrill Hills is a tight, 56-home pocket of Jacksonville housing built entirely between 1995 and 1999, with a median year built of 1997. That narrow construction window means homes here read similarly in scale and systems age, and with a median living area of 2,071.5 square feet, size isn't the swing factor in value the way it is in mixed-era communities — condition, updates, and lot specifics carry more of the pricing story.
The current read is a balanced market: 6 months of supply against just one active listing and two closings in the recent window. That combination — thin inventory, thin transaction volume — means pricing signals are limited right now. A seller with a well-presented home has little direct competition to worry about, and a buyer needs to move with real information rather than assumptions, since there isn't a deep run of comparable sales to lean on.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The 60-Second Overview

Who Merrill Hills is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a home built between 1995 and 1999 with roughly 2,071.5 square feet of living space.
- Buyers comfortable moving on a single available listing rather than choosing among several.
- Sellers who want limited direct competition, since only one home is currently active in the community.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a wide range of active listings to compare before writing an offer.
- Buyers seeking a mix of older and newer construction, since every home here falls between 1995 and 1999.
- Anyone relying on a large recent-sales history to set price expectations, since the current window shows only two closings.

The Merrill Hills buying strategy.
If we were buying in Merrill Hills 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 Merrill Hills.
A single-era pocket in Duval County
All 56 homes in Merrill Hills were built between 1995 and 1999, with a median year built of 1997 — there is no older or newer stock mixed in to complicate comparisons. Median living area sits at 2,071.5 square feet, giving the community a consistent mid-size footprint rather than a spread from small starter homes to large executive builds.
Homestead exemptions are filed on 71.4% of homes here, indicating a base of owner-occupied properties rather than investor or rental turnover. Combined with just one active listing and two closings in the current window, this reads as a community where inventory moves slowly and each listing deserves individual scrutiny rather than a quick comp-based valuation.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Merrill Hills. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With only one active listing and two closings to reference, Merrill Hills doesn't offer a deep comparable-sales trail — pricing a home correctly here means understanding condition and updates relative to the 1995-1999 build cohort, not just running a standard comp report. Momentum tracks this kind of low-volume Duval County community closely so buyers and sellers aren't guessing in a market with limited public data.
