Transcript

Rookery, in Green Cove Springs, is a Clay County community where the median sold price over the last 12 months is 328,000 dollars, and homes take a median of 66 days to sell. Here's what that means if you're watching this one.

Rookery is a neighborhood in Green Cove Springs, in Clay County. Over the last 10 years it has averaged about 56 sales a year, and 103 homes sold in the last 12 months. Every number in this video comes from the community page at move with momentum dot com, from realMLS and public records.

In the last 12 months, 103 homes sold at a median of 328,000 dollars. That's 195 dollars a square foot, matching its 2026 peak, at 96 point 4 percent of asking. Right now 43 homes are listed and 21 are pending.

33 percent of homes here are under contract, against 29 percent across Clay County, which typically means more competition for the homes that list. That's typical, not a promise. Homes here have sold at 96 point 4 percent of asking, against 96 point 7 percent for the county, so compare each home to recent closings, not to asking prices. Verify whether an HOA or a CDD applies.

At today's median asking price, the page estimates a first-year property tax bill with homestead of about 4,700 dollars, at Clay County's total millage of 15 point 053 mills. Of the homes listed or recently sold here, 55 of 55 report an HOA, at a median of 8 dollars a month, so ask what the dues cover, and whether a CDD assessment applies. Of 44 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100 percent sit outside the high-risk zone; still check the map by address, and get insurance quoted by address.

Get an email the moment new homes list: the alerts box is on the Rookery page at move with momentum dot com, updated every night. I'm Jon Brooks with Momentum Realty.

    Northeast Florida home sales dip in September as inventory tightens

If we were buying in Rookery 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

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

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 Rookery.

A closer look at the Rookery market

At a median of $195 per square foot, Rookery prices sit in a fairly defined band, so condition and updates — more than the list price — tend to separate one home from the next.

Inventory runs at 5.0 months of supply, a balanced market and the trailing-12-month median down 7% year over year. Homes that do trade take a median 66 days on market, useful leverage on any listing that has lingered.

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