Jon's Current Read

Villages Of Fireside is a compact, gated community of 134 homes in Middleburg, built mostly between 1989 and 1999 (median year built 1997), with a median living area of 2,109 square feet. The current median sale price sits at $396,000, or $182.81 per square foot, down 7.2% from a year ago, though still up 133% since 2012. That year-over-year pullback is happening against a backdrop of very thin supply: only 5 homes are actively listed against 14 closings in the recent window, putting months of supply at 4.6 and the market band at balanced.

For sellers, the scarcity of active listings is the leverage point, since five listings is a shallow pool, and homes here are moving in a median 25 days. For buyers, the year-over-year dip means less urgency to chase last year's pricing, even as the longer 2012-to-now trend shows sustained appreciation. With a market heat score of 46, this reads as a genuinely balanced market rather than one tilted hard toward either side, so pricing discipline matters more than speed.

Villages Of Fireside right now

🟡 Balanced market. 4.6 months of supply and 17% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of July 14, 2026. Confidence: High (6 active and pending listings, 14 closed sales in 12 months).

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($396K) is down 7.2% from the prior 12 months ($426K) and up 133% 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 July 14. Confidence: Medium (14 and 10 sales in the two windows).

The 60-Second Overview

Villages Of Fireside market snapshot (as of July 14, 2026): the median sale price is about $396K ($183 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 25 days on market for closed sales, and 4.6 months of supply, a balanced market. The trailing-12-month median is down 7% from the prior 12 months and up 133% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (14 closings in the current window).

Villages Of Fireside is a community of 134 homes in Middleburg, Clay County, built between 1989 and 1999 (median 1997), with a median living area of about 2,109 square feet. 82% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

A gated, water-oriented community built out largely in the 1990s, Villages Of Fireside pairs a boat dock and fishing access with routine gated-community upkeep, including grounds maintenance, a jogging path, and full-time on-site management, on a small footprint of 134 homes.

Best for

  • Buyers targeting a gated community with direct water and boat-dock access who are willing to wait for the right listing given limited supply.
  • Sellers of well-maintained, move-in-ready homes near the median size and price who want to capitalize on the current shortage of active listings.
  • Buyers comfortable with a 1990s-built home base (1989-1999) who value on-site management and grounds maintenance over new construction.

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want to compare many active listings side by side; inventory here is limited to a handful of homes at any time.
  • Buyers or sellers expecting the appreciation pace of the last year rather than the longer-term trend, since the year-over-year figure is currently negative.
  • Buyers seeking new construction, since homes here were built mostly between 1989 and 1999.

If we were buying in Villages Of Fireside today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 Villages Of Fireside.

Best Buy
Buyers and sellers who want a small, gated, water-access community and are comfortable with a thin, hand-picked pool of comparable homes rather than a large, fast-moving inventory.
Biggest Risk
Price is down 7.2% year over year, so buyers and sellers need current comps, not last year's numbers, to set expectations.
Sweet Spot
Move-in-ready homes near the median 2,109 square feet, built in the 1989-1999 range and priced close to the $396,000 median, typically move in around 25 days.
Avoid If
Avoid if you need a large selection to compare in real time; with only 5 homes active, there may be nothing on the market that fits your criteria at a given moment.

A Thin, Balanced Market Inside a Small Gated Footprint

With only 134 homes total and just 5 currently active on the market, Villages Of Fireside is not a community where buyers have dozens of comparable options to sort through at any given time. That scarcity is one reason the market band reads as balanced (heat score 46) even with 14 recent closings feeding the data; there simply is not enough active inventory to tip firmly toward buyers or sellers. The homes themselves cluster tightly by age, built mostly between 1989 and 1999 with a median year built of 1997, and run to a median 2,109 square feet of living space.

About 82% of homes here carry a homestead exemption, consistent with a community where most owners have filed for primary-residence tax status rather than holding the property as a rental or second home. Combined with amenities like the gated entry with a security gate, boat dock, fishing access, and a maintained pool and jogging path, this points to a stable, lower-turnover inventory base, which is also why, with supply this thin, a listing that is priced and presented well can still find a buyer in a median 25 days.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Villages Of Fireside. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

In a community with only 5 active listings and 134 homes total, there is not a deep enough comp set for a generic online estimate to mean much; pricing here depends on hand-checking recent, truly comparable closings within Fireside itself, not a citywide average. Momentum tracks this market's median price, price-per-square-foot, and days-on-market trends closing by closing, so sellers get a valuation grounded in what is actually moving in this specific gated community, and buyers get a clear read on whether a listed price reflects the balanced conditions here or is priced off last year's numbers.
