As of October 2026, Secret Hills in Jacksonville, FL has 1 home for sale. Over the 12 months ending 2026-10-01, 7 recorded sales closed at a median of $310,000, $223 per square foot, a median 5 days on market, sellers accepting 98% of original asking. Homes listed or recently sold were built 1993–1996; 8 of 8 report an HOA (median $19/mo); none of the 8 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 51 ft). At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,540 ($4,800 with the full homestead exemption).

Secret Hills is a tightly built pocket of Jacksonville homes constructed between 1993 and 2002, with a typical build year of 1994 and a median footprint just over 1,715 square feet. The median sale price sits at $317,500, working out to $233.78 per square foot — a price point set almost entirely by condition and updates, since the housing stock here is narrow in age and size rather than spread across eras.
The current read is mixed. Only one home is active right now, and supply sits at 2.4 months — figures that keep this market classified as seller-leaning. But prices are down 8.6% year over year, and with just four closings in the trailing window, that swing should be read cautiously rather than as a clear trend. Zoomed out, values here are up 171% since 2012, a reminder that a single soft year is a blip against the longer arc, not a new direction. For sellers, the tight, seller-leaning posture argues for pricing with confidence; for buyers, a one-listing market means patience and readiness to move fast when something appears.
Secret Hills right now
🔴 Seller-leaning market. 1.7 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract give sellers the pressure advantage.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 1, 2026. Confidence: Medium (1 active and pending listings, 7 closed sales in 12 months).

Who Secret Hills is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a purchase near the $317,500 median who are comfortable acting quickly given only one active listing.
- Sellers who want to test a seller-leaning market with 2.4 months of supply currently working in their favor.
- Buyers focused on move-in-ready condition over amenities, since none are identified in current MLS listings.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want to compare several active listings side by side before deciding.
- Buyers relying on built-in community amenities as a primary draw.
- Anyone trying to read short-term price direction from a handful of sales — four closings in the trailing window is too small a sample to lean on heavily.

The Secret Hills buying strategy.
If we were buying in Secret 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.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
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 Secret Hills.
A Small, Steady Pocket
With just 122 homes total, Secret Hills is a small, well-defined slice of the Duval County market. Homes here were built between 1993 and 2002, with a median build year of 1994 and a typical living area just over 1,715 square feet. At a median of $317,500 — $233.78 per square foot — pricing tracks tightly with condition and updates rather than broad variation across the neighborhood.
Activity is thin by design: a market heat score of 16, a single active listing, and only four closings in the trailing window make this a data-light market to read. Homes that do sell take a median of 84 days to close, while months of supply sits at 2.4 — enough to keep the market classified as seller-leaning even as the small sample size keeps any one data point from telling the whole story. No community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, so knowledge of the immediate area matters more than the listing sheet.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Secret Hills. 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 Secret Hills 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 (8.4). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +165% since 2012; Liquidity & Demand 1.7 months of supply; Owner Commitment 69% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 98.3% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With only one home active and just four recent closings, Secret Hills is not a market you can price or navigate from an app. Momentum tracks this pocket of Duval County closely enough to know what a 1994 build year and a roughly 1,715-square-foot floor plan is actually worth today, rather than leaning on a broader Jacksonville average — and with supply this thin, having someone watching for the next listing before it goes public is the difference between competing for it and missing it.
