Washington Lake Est's numbers are driven by scale and age, not amenities: a median price of $140,000 works out to $106.68 per square foot on a median home of 1,305.5 square feet, across 234 homes built between 1971 and 2002 with a median build year of 1973. That combination points to smaller, older housing stock where price is set largely by condition and lot rather than layout or finish level.
With only 2 active listings and 5 closings in the most recent window, this is a thin market where a single sale can swing the read. Months of supply sits at 4.8, which lands in balanced territory, but a median days on market of 119 signals buyers are taking their time, and pricing is down 10.5% year over year even as values remain up 338% since 2012. For sellers, that argues for pricing to the most recent comps rather than the long-run trend; for buyers, it argues for patience and room to negotiate.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
Washington Lake Estates right now
🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 8.0 months of supply and 20% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.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 October 23, 2026. Confidence: Medium (5 active and pending listings, 6 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($151K) is down 5.6% from the prior 12 months ($160K) and up 504% since 2012. With about 4 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 23. Confidence: Medium (6 and 6 sales in the two windows).
What's unique here: the median sale price is about 51% below the typical Duval County sale ($151K vs $311K, trailing 12 months, realMLS records).

The Washington Lake Estates buying strategy.
If we were buying in Washington Lake Estates 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.
Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.
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 Washington Lake Estates.
A Thin, Value-Priced Pocket of Duval County
The 234 homes in Washington Lake Est were built between 1971 and 2002, with a median build year of 1973 and a median living area of 1,305.5 square feet. That places the neighborhood's typical home firmly among Duval County's smaller, older stock, which helps explain a median price of $140,000 and a per-square-foot figure of $106.68.
Just over half of homes here, 53%, carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a base of owner-occupied housing rather than a mostly transient or investor-held block. But activity is light: 5 closings in the tracked window against only 2 active listings, with 4.8 months of supply keeping the market in balanced territory. A median days on market of 119 and a year-over-year price move of -10.5% suggest current sellers need realistic pricing, even though the long-run trend, homes up 338% since 2012, remains strongly positive.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Washington Lake Estates. 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 Washington Lake Estates 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 5 factors (4.9). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +504% since 2012; Recent Direction -5.6% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 8.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 53% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 89.0% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this thin, 2 active listings and 5 closings in the window, the comps that exist matter enormously, and stale or mismatched data can cost a buyer or seller real money. Momentum tracks Washington Lake Est's pricing, days on market, and supply directly rather than leaning on a citywide Duval County average, so pricing and offer strategy here are built on what is actually happening on this specific street, not a broader Jacksonville trend line.
