Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 5 closed sales in Waverley in Jacksonville, FL since 2006, the most recent in February 2024. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,846 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,385 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,460 ($4,720 with the full homestead exemption).
Waverley is not a subdivision with a single vintage and a single price — it's a pocket where the housing stock spans from 1904 all the way to 2022, and that spread is the whole story. With a median year built around 1983 and a median living area north of 3,000 square feet, price here is driven less by an address and more by condition, systems, and how much original fabric a given home still carries. Two houses on the same block can trade very differently depending on whether the work is done.
About 79% of homes here are homestead-occupied, which tells you this is a hold-and-live market more than a churn-and-flip one. For a seller, that means turnover is measured and a well-prepared listing doesn't have to compete with a flood of inventory across 160 homes. For a buyer, it means patience: the right house in the right condition comes up when it comes up, and you underwrite each one on its own merits, not on a neighborhood average.
The 60-Second Overview
Waverley is a small, established Jacksonville pocket in Duval County where the size of the homes — a median over 3,000 square feet — and the breadth of construction eras matter far more than any single headline number.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.
Who Waverley is best for.
Best for
- Buyers wanting 3,000-plus square feet who will underwrite each home's condition on its own

Probably not for
- Buyers who need a turnkey home with no deferred maintenance

The Waverley buying strategy.
If we were buying in Waverley 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 Waverley.
A condition-driven market, not a price-tier one
The century-plus construction range here is the thing to internalize. A 1904 house and a 2022 house sitting in the same 160-home community are not comparable products — roof, foundation, wiring, and plumbing all read differently by era, and inspections here are where deals are won or lost. The median living area above 3,000 square feet also signals substantial homes, which means larger surface area to maintain and more room for both value and liability.
Because the price ceiling is set by condition rather than a uniform tier, comps require care. A recently updated home and a period property in need of work can carry the same square footage and tell opposite financial stories. That's an opportunity for a buyer willing to take on projects and a caution for anyone assuming turnkey pricing across the board.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Waverley. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this driven by condition and construction era, the value is in reading each home individually — not leaning on a neighborhood average. We help buyers underwrite older systems and larger square footage honestly, and we help sellers position a well-prepared home against a small, stable inventory rather than a crowd.
