Verde Gardens is a thin data market right now, and that shapes how you should read every number attached to it. The median closed price sits at $190,000 on a median of $118.55 per square foot, but that figure is built from a closings window of just 3 — enough to tell you where recent activity landed, not enough to call a trend. Treat the price as a data point, not a ceiling or a floor.
The bigger signal is posture: zero active listings and a market heat score of 17. There is nothing to compare a new listing against today, and the low heat score points to limited competitive pressure. For a seller, that means pricing needs to lean on the last closed comps rather than what's currently live. For a buyer, it means patience — when something does come up, you're working with sparse recent history to judge whether the number is fair.
The 60-Second Overview
Verde Gardens market snapshot (as of August 19, 2026): the median sale price is about $190K ($119 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 132 days on market for closed sales.
Verde Gardens is a Jacksonville community in Duval County built around a Playground as its noted community amenity, with resale activity here running light rather than continuous.

Who Verde Gardens is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a home priced near the $190,000 median who are comfortable with a limited comp set.
- Patient buyers who can wait out a market with zero active listings for the right property to surface.
- Sellers who can price off recent closed data rather than live competing listings, given the current 0-listing inventory.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a large pool of active listings to compare before making an offer.
- Anyone on a tight timeline — the 132-day median days on market does not favor a fast close.
- Sellers expecting a bidding-war pace; a market heat score of 17 points the other direction.

The Verde Gardens buying strategy.
If we were buying in Verde Gardens 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 Verde Gardens.
A market built on thin comps
The median days on market here is 132 — a slow pace that, paired with zero active listings, tells you this is not a community with a steady drumbeat of sales. Momentum builds in short bursts rather than a constant flow, which is consistent with the closings window of only 3 behind the current median. A $190,000 median at $118.55 per square foot is the honest snapshot of what's traded, but with a sample this small, one unusual sale can move the number more than it would in a higher-volume community.
On amenities, the record shows a Playground reported across this community's MLS listings. That's the extent of what's documented, and it's worth verifying current amenities and HOA access directly rather than assuming anything beyond it — the amenities note on file exists precisely because MLS-reported amenities can lag what's actually on the ground.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Verde Gardens. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A market with a heat score of 17, zero active listings, and only 3 recent closings is exactly the kind of setup where local read matters more than the headline number. We pull the actual comps behind that $190,000 median, confirm the Playground and any other HOA-managed amenities directly with the association before you rely on them, and help you weigh a 132-day median days-on-market figure against what it really means for your timeline — whether you're pricing a listing or deciding how long to wait on an offer.
