Over the 12 months ending 2026-10-17, 5 recorded sales closed at a median of $307,000, $191 per square foot, a median 75 days on market, sellers accepting 99% of original asking (+14% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1975–1996; none of the 5 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 15 ft). At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,480 ($4,750 with the full homestead exemption).
Tara Woods is a 288-home community in Jacksonville (Duval County) built out over eight decades, with homes dating from 1936 through 2021 and a median build year of 1975. That spread is the real price driver here: on a typical 1,850 square foot home, the median price of $280,000 works out to $191.48 per square foot, but condition and renovation status do far more to set an individual home's value than size or floor plan alone. A 1936 home and a 2021 home in the same community are not comparable without knowing what has been updated.
Right now there are zero active listings in Tara Woods, and recent closings took a median of 67 days to go under contract. Price growth has flattened year over year, but values sit 149% above 2012 levels, so the longer trend is still positive even as the short-term pace has cooled. For sellers, thin inventory means less competition for a well-prepared listing; for buyers, it means being ready to move when something does surface, since there is currently nothing to choose from.

🟢 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($307K) is up 13.7% from the prior 12 months ($270K) and up 167% since 2012. With about a dozen 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 October 17.

Who Tara Woods is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a purchase near the $280,000 median who can move quickly once a home lists, given zero current active listings
- Buyers who can evaluate and budget for renovation status on a home that could have been built anytime from 1936 to 2021
- Buyers or sellers thinking in multi-year terms, given the 149% gain since 2012 against a flat trailing year
Probably not for
- Buyers who need several active listings to compare before deciding, since there are none right now
- Buyers who only want new or recently built construction rather than a home from anywhere in the 1936-2021 range
- Buyers unwilling to budget time or money for updates on an older home given the median build year of 1975

The Tara Woods buying strategy.
If we were buying in Tara Woods 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 Tara Woods.
Built Over Eight Decades
The 288 homes in Tara Woods span a build range from 1936 to 2021, with a median build year of 1975 and a median living area of about 1,850 square feet. About 71% of homes in the community carry a homestead exemption, a data point on ownership tax status rather than anything about who lives in a given home. That kind of age spread means buyers should expect real differences in systems, layouts, and finish level from one listing to the next.
The median price of $280,000 translates to $191.48 per square foot on the typical home, and with zero active listings and a median 67 days to contract on recent closings, supply is thin. Values are flat over the trailing year but up 149% since 2012, which is the more useful number for anyone thinking about this as a multi-year hold rather than a one-year trade.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Tara Woods. 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 Tara Woods 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 (8.8). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +167% since 2012; Recent Direction +13.7% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 66% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 99.4% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
With homes in Tara Woods built anywhere from 1936 to 2021, pricing a listing or an offer correctly means weighing condition and updates against the $280,000 / $191.48-per-square-foot median rather than leaning on a single automated number. We track closings through the local MLS feed and prepare a hand-built valuation for each home rather than publishing a generic estimate, which matters more in a community with this much age spread than in a subdivision where every house was built the same year.

What it really costs to own in Tara Woods
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | Current owners' bills run a median of $3,570/yr across 4 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-10-18). |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Duval County is $1,315/yr (2,001 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1976 across 5 listings. An original roof here would be about 50 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails. |
