Market Heat
Sherwood Forest's numbers are shaped by its housing stock more than anything else: a median year built of 1961, a median living area of 1,296 square feet, and a build span running from 1909 to 2024. That mix of eras is why price tracks a median of $123.11 per square foot on a median sale of $172,500 rather than a single tight band.
The trailing window shows 44 closings and a median 32.5 days on market, against zero active listings at this snapshot date. Prices are up 25.5% year over year and 593% since 2012, and the market heat score sits at 47 - a moderate reading that points to steady, not runaway, current demand even after that longer run-up. For sellers, the lack of active inventory is leverage; for buyers, it means moving decisively when something does list.

The Sherwood Forest buying strategy.
If we were buying in Sherwood Forest 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 Sherwood Forest.
An Established Duval Community
With homes built as early as 1909 and as recently as 2024, Sherwood Forest spans more than a century of construction. The median home dates to 1961 and runs 1,296 square feet of living area, so buyers should expect pricing here to be driven heavily by individual home condition and updates rather than a uniform new-build standard.
About 49.9% of homes carry a homestead exemption, a tax-status figure drawn from county records. Across the 44 closings in the current window, the median $123.11 per square foot and the 32.5-day median time on market point to a community that transacts steadily without the extremes of a boom-and-bust corridor.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Sherwood Forest. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +593% since 2012; Recent Direction +25.5% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 2.9 months of supply; Owner Commitment 50% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 94.1% sale-to-list.
