Market Heat

Peters Creek's 213 homes span a wide build range, 1955 through 2023, with a median year built of 1986 and median living space of 1,930 square feet — so the price story here is less about one architectural era and more about condition and finish level within that spread. The median sits at $390,000, or $191.12 per square foot, and with homestead share at 77.6%, most of this stock is owner-occupied rather than investor-held, which tends to keep turnover tied to life changes rather than trading.
Right now the market posture is thin. Active listings stand at zero, and the trailing window shows just 9 closings with a median 22 days on market — meaning when something does list, it has been moving quickly. Pricing is soft year over year, down 5.6%, even though the community is up 146% since 2012. A heat score of 38 reflects that near-term cooling. For a buyer or seller, that combination — historically strong appreciation, a down year, and no current supply — argues for pricing off the most recent comps rather than the long-run trend line.

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($400K) is down 3.1% from the prior 12 months ($413K) and up 152% since 2012. With about 4 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 August 5.

Who Peters Creek is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a price near the $390,000 median who can move quickly once something lists — median time on market is 22 days.
- Buyers open to a wide range of build years (1955–2023) rather than one narrow construction era.
- Long-horizon buyers weighing the area's trend since 2012 (up 146%) over last year's softer number.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need multiple active listings to compare side by side — there are currently zero active listings.
- Buyers counting on built-in community amenities — none are identified from current MLS listings.
- Buyers expecting the pace of appreciation to keep matching the long-run trend — price is down 5.6% year over year right now.

The Peters Creek buying strategy.
If we were buying in Peters Creek 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 Peters Creek.
A Wide Build Range, A Narrow Market
The physical stock in Peters Creek is not uniform: with construction dated anywhere from 1955 to 2023 and a median year built of 1986, buyers are comparing homes across genuinely different eras of construction, layout, and system age within the same 213-home count. Median living space runs 1,930 square feet, and at a median $390,000 — $191.12 per square foot — the per-square-foot figure is the more reliable read on value here than the median price alone, given how much the build years vary. Homestead share of 77.6% points to a neighborhood where most owners live in the home rather than rent it out.
On the transaction side, the numbers describe a market that has gone quiet rather than one that has stalled. Zero active listings and only 9 closings in the trailing window is a small sample, but the 22-day median days-on-market inside that sample says demand absorbed what little came available. Year-over-year price is down 5.6%, a real pullback, set against 146% appreciation since 2012 and a market heat score of 38. Read together: the long-run trend is intact, the last year cooled, and right now there is simply nothing listed to test either direction.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Peters Creek. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Peters Creek buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (7.5). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +152% since 2012; Recent Direction -3.1% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 78% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 97.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With zero active listings and only 9 closings to draw comps from, pricing a home in Peters Creek — as buyer or seller — is a job for someone who tracks this specific Clay County pocket closely rather than pulling a generic Orange Park average. Momentum's read accounts for the build-year spread (1955–2023), the 5.6% year-over-year pullback against the 146% run since 2012, and a heat score of 38 that says this is not a market to price on momentum alone. When something does list, with days-on-market running near 22, there is little room to get the number wrong in either direction.
