As of September 2026, the MLS records 41 closed sales in Paces Ferry in Orange Park, FL since 2001, the most recent in March 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $290,000 to $358,500 (median $315,000), on homes of 1,861 to 1,998 sq ft. Across Orange Park as a whole, 653 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $330,000, 40 median days on market, with 162 homes for sale today. At that median and Clay County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.05 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,740 ($4,150 with the full homestead exemption).
Paces Ferry is a compact, established pocket in Orange Park with just 83 homes, all built in a tight window from 1972 to 1975. When a subdivision is this uniform in age and this small, price is driven less by floor plan variety and more by condition and updates. The bones are consistent; what separates one closing from the next is whether the kitchen, systems, and roof have been touched since the original build era. Expect a wide spread on price that tracks renovation, not square footage.
About three-quarters of the homes here are homesteaded, which signals a low-turnover, owner-occupied street rather than an investor churn. For a seller, that means comps are thin and each listing matters; a well-prepared home stands out because inventory is limited. For a buyer, it means patience — you may wait for the right home to come available rather than choosing from a deep pool.
The 60-Second Overview
Paces Ferry is a small, early-1970s neighborhood in Clay County's Orange Park, where a mostly owner-occupied ownership base and a fixed housing stock keep supply tight and condition front and center.

The Paces Ferry buying strategy.
If we were buying in Paces Ferry 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 Paces Ferry.
A fixed-stock neighborhood
With a median living area around 2,130 square feet and homes clustered within a three-year build window, Paces Ferry offers a predictable envelope: single-era construction, comparable footprints, and the maintenance realities that come with homes now past a half-century old. Buyers should budget for the usual mid-1970s items — roof age, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical — and read each listing on its updates rather than assuming parity across the street.
Because the ownership base is heavily homesteaded, listings do not come up often. That scarcity cuts both ways: sellers with a genuinely updated home face limited direct competition, while buyers should be ready to move when the right condition and price line up. This is a market where doing the diligence on a specific home matters more than tracking a broad neighborhood trend.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Paces Ferry. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a small, low-turnover neighborhood, comps are scarce and condition is everything, so pricing and negotiation come down to judgment rather than a thick sales sheet. We read each home on its actual updates and systems, set expectations honestly on what a 1970s house needs, and time a listing to stand out when inventory is thin.
