The Moorings
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
The Moorings' 164 homes span construction from 1900 to 2023, with a median build year of 1987 — a spread wide enough that condition and lot, not a uniform product, set the price here. At a median of $349,500 and $237.85 per square foot on a median 1,679.5 square feet, value tracks the individual home rather than a shared amenity package; current MLS listings show no identified community amenities, so buyers are paying for the house and the site, not a clubhouse or pool.
Momentum's data shows a median 84 days on market, a market heat score of 36, and price appreciation of 2.8% year over year — up 139% since 2012. That combination reads as a market with room to breathe: sellers need to price to the home's actual condition rather than the neighborhood's reputation, and buyers who do their homework on an individual property have real leverage on both price and terms.
The 60-Second Overview
The Moorings market snapshot (as of August 19, 2026): the median sale price is about $350K ($238 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 84 days on market for closed sales.
The Moorings is a Duval County, Jacksonville community whose 164 homes range from turn-of-the-century construction to builds finished as recently as 2023, which puts condition and renovation history ahead of a fixed architectural style as the main price variable.
Who The Moorings is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable evaluating a home's individual condition and renovation history rather than assuming a uniform product across the community.
- Buyers working with a budget aligned to this community's $349,500 median price who want room to negotiate in a market with a median 84-day time on market.
- Owner-occupant buyers looking for a steady resale market without heavy investor turnover.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a new-construction feel throughout, given a median build year of 1987 and homes dating back to 1900.
- Buyers who need a confirmed clubhouse, pool, or gated amenity package as part of the purchase.
- Buyers who want a fast-moving, high-heat market — the current 36 heat score and 84-day median days on market suggest patience is required.

The The Moorings buying strategy.
If we were buying in The Moorings 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 The Moorings.
Nearly a Century of Housing Stock
With homes built as far back as 1900 and as recently as 2023, and a median build year of 1987, The Moorings does not offer a single, predictable product. A buyer touring this community will see meaningfully different construction eras on the same streets, which means comparable sales have to be read house by house rather than assumed across the board. At a median 1,679.5 square feet and $237.85 per square foot, the per-foot economics stay consistent even as the ages vary — the real variable is what condition and updates a given owner put into the home.
Current MLS listings show no identified community amenities for The Moorings, so this is not a value proposition built around a clubhouse, gated entry, or shared recreation. Roughly two-thirds of the 164 homes here carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a base of owner-occupants rather than heavy investor or short-term rental turnover. Combined with a median 84-day time on market, this reads as a steady, unhurried resale market rather than a fast-flip one.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in The Moorings. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
The Moorings rewards someone who can separate a well-updated home from one that has not been touched since it was built — and price both correctly relative to the community's $349,500 median. Momentum's agents pull the individual comps here rather than lean on neighborhood averages, and use the market's median 84-day time on market to negotiate real terms rather than chase a listing price that assumes every home in a century-wide build range is the same product.
