Waverley
Homes for Sale in Orange Park, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 9 closed sales in Waverley in Orange Park, FL since 2004, the most recent in February 2022. Across Orange Park as a whole, 656 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $330,000, 40 median days on market, with 161 homes for sale today. At that median and Clay County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.05 mills, annual property tax runs about $4,970 ($4,370 with the full homestead exemption).
Waverley is a tight, built-out pocket in Orange Park: 78 homes, all constructed within a narrow window in the mid-2000s, with a median living area just under 2,500 square feet. That consistency matters. There's no builder still turning dirt here, so price is set by condition, lot, and updates rather than by phase releases or new-construction incentives. Two homes of the same footprint can trade well apart depending on whether kitchens and systems have been touched since original build.
Roughly 58% of homes carry a homestead exemption, which points to an owner-occupied core and a slower, less speculative resale pace. For a seller, that means you're competing on presentation against a limited, stable inventory. For a buyer, patience is rewarded — turnover is modest, so the right floor plan may take time to surface, and when it does, condition should drive your offer more than any headline number.
The 60-Second Overview
Waverley is a small, mid-2000s community in Orange Park's Clay County side, where nearly all homes share a similar age and generous interior size — making condition and updates, not square footage, the real dividing line on value.

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 built-out community where condition sets the number
With homes built across just a few years in the mid-2000s, Waverley is old enough that original roofs, HVAC systems, and water heaters are now at or near the end of their service life on un-updated properties. That's the single biggest swing factor in pricing here. A home that has already handled those big-ticket items commands a premium; one that hasn't should be priced — and inspected — with that reality in mind.
The median living space of roughly 2,462 square feet reflects a neighborhood of substantial, full-size homes rather than starter footprints. Buyers get real room; the tradeoff is that maintenance and utility costs scale with that size. This is a community to walk carefully with an eye on the mechanicals, because the spread in list prices tends to track the spread in condition.
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 small, condition-driven market like Waverley, the number on the listing tells you almost nothing until you know what's behind the walls. We price and negotiate off the specifics — roof age, systems, updates, lot — not off a rounded neighborhood average. That's how a buyer avoids overpaying for deferred maintenance and how a seller captures the premium for work already done.
