The Woods
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL

The Woods market snapshot (as of August 26, 2026): the median sale price is about $528K ($241 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 33 days on market for closed sales, and 1.2 months of supply, a balanced market. The trailing-12-month median is down 5% from the prior 12 months and up 171% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (42 closings in the current window).

The Woods is a community of 285 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1974 and 2022 (median 1988), with a median living area of about 2,484 square feet. 79% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

The Woods is a low-turnover, overwhelmingly owner-occupied pocket of Jacksonville where inventory stays scarce, so the real variable is the condition of the handful of homes that actually come up for sale.

The headline numbers pull in opposite directions. Months of supply at 1.9 is genuinely tight, which normally signals a hot market, but the heat score of 23 and a 12.1% year-over-year decline in the median say otherwise. The reconciliation is turnover: with 84.3% of the 814 homes owner-occupied and only 36 closings in the measured window, this is a place where few homes list and each sale carries outsized weight in the stats. Low supply here reflects owners staying put, not a bidding frenzy.

For a buyer, that means patience and selectivity. The housing stock spans nearly five decades, 1974 to 2022, with a median build year of 1988, so two homes at similar prices can be in very different shape. Expect to underwrite each property on its own condition rather than a neighborhood price band, and use the roughly 40-day median days-on-market as leverage on anything that has lingered. For a seller, the lesson is inverse: a well-updated home stands out precisely because so little competes with it, while a dated or aspirationally priced listing will sit.

A market this thin rewards local read over algorithms. With only a handful of homes active at any time and wide swings in condition across a 1974-to-2022 build range, pricing and offer strategy come down to comparing specific properties, not leaning on a formula. We prepare hand-built valuations, tell you when a listing is priced ahead of its condition, and help sellers position an updated home to stand out against scarce competition.
