True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of November 2026, the MLS records 16 closed sales in Starshire in Jacksonville, FL since 2011, the most recent in May 2025. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 12,694 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $304,990, 42 median days on market, with 4,136 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,450 ($4,710 with the full homestead exemption).
Starshire is a compact, 42-home community in Duval County, built out between 1975 and 1998, with a median year built of 1977 — the bulk of the inventory sits on the older edge of that range. Median living space runs 2,466 square feet, generous for the era, and no community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, so this reads as a straightforward subdivision rather than an HOA-amenity package.
There are no closings recorded in the current window, which means recent comparable sales data is thin. Combined with a 76.2% homestead share, this looks like a community with long-tenured, owner-occupied homes and limited turnover — a market where inventory moves slowly rather than in a rush of competing offers, and where pricing has to be built from tax roll and older sale history rather than a stream of fresh closings.

Starshire's 42 homes were built between 1975 and 1998, with a median year built of 1977 and median living space of 2,466 square feet — a mature, established pocket of Duval County rather than a newer or amenity-driven subdivision.

Best for

- Buyers comfortable pricing a home using tax roll and historical data rather than recent closings

Probably not for

- Buyers who need active, recent comparable sales to benchmark price with confidence
- Buyers seeking HOA-run amenities — none are identified in current MLS listings

The Starshire buying strategy.
If we were buying in Starshire 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 Starshire.
A small, steady pocket of Duval County
With only 42 homes total, Starshire is a small, fixed inventory — there is no phased new construction adding supply over time. The build-out spans 1975 to 1998, with a median year built of 1977, so most homes carry the character of the community's earliest years. Median living space of 2,466 square feet is on the larger side for homes of that age, which matters more here than any amenity package, since current MLS listings show none identified.
The homestead share sits at 76.2%, pointing to a community where most owners have claimed the property as their primary residence rather than holding it as a rental or investment. That, paired with zero recorded closings in the current window, means there is little fresh transaction data to lean on — buyers and sellers here are working from a thinner, older data set than in higher-turnover Duval communities.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Starshire. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With no closings recorded in Starshire's current window, pricing this community correctly means going beyond the MLS — pulling tax roll history, prior sales, and homestead status across all 42 homes to build a real picture of value. That is the kind of groundwork Momentum does before a listing goes live or an offer goes in, rather than pricing off a handful of stale comps.

Clay school district says one-mill referendum renews, not raises, property tax
The Clay County school district says the referendum on the upcoming ballot renews the one-mill levy voters first approved in 2020 at the same rate. The money funds school law enforcement contracts and compensation to retain and attract teachers and support staff. A citizens' advisory committee reviews spending, and the district says non-renewal would leave a funding shortfall.
What it may mean for the marketThe outcome sets school operating funding and staffing support for Clay County without changing the current millage rate. The site is about 14 miles south of Starshire.

What it may mean for the marketExpanded permanent capacity and a longer drop-off loop affect school-area traffic and classroom availability in the Mandarin area. The site is about 2 miles north of Starshire.
