As of November 2026, Wells Lake in Orange Park, FL has 1 home for sale. Over the 12 months ending 2026-11-12, 4 recorded sales closed at a median of $260,000, $174 per square foot, a median 134 days on market, sellers accepting 85% of original asking. Homes listed or recently sold were built 1993–1996; 6 of 6 report an HOA (median $25/mo); 1 of the 6 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 17 ft). At the median price and Clay County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.05 mills, annual property tax runs about $3,910 ($3,320 with the full homestead exemption).
Wells Lake's homes were built between 1993 and 1997, with a median year built of 1994 and a median living area of 1,463.5 square feet — a tight, single build era rather than a spread of construction periods. The median closed price over the current window is $235,000, or $172.54 per square foot, but that figure is drawn from just 5 closings, so it's a directional read, not a hard ceiling or floor.
The year-over-year move is sharp: median price is down 33.8%, and median days on market sits at 128, both pointing to a market that has cooled and repriced from where it stood a year ago. There are zero active listings at the moment, which means there is no current inventory to benchmark against — closed-sale data is doing all the work here. The homestead share of 65.6% points to a housing stock with a meaningful base of owner-held homes rather than one driven by frequent turnover.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🟡 Balanced market. 3.0 months of supply and 50% 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 November 12, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 4 closed sales in 12 months).
🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($260K) is down 23.8% from the prior 12 months ($341K).

Who Wells Lake is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a purchase near the $235,000 median who want an established, mid-build-era Orange Park home built between 1993 and 1997.
- Buyers who don't need clubhouse, pool, or other on-site amenities as part of the purchase, since none are identified in current MLS data.
- Buyers or sellers who can move deliberately given a 128-day median time on market and a thin, 5-closing sample of recent activity.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a wide pool of active listings to compare right now, given zero currently active.
- Sellers anchored to price levels from a year ago, given the 33.8% year-over-year decline.
- Buyers who require an amenity package (clubhouse, pool, community facilities) as part of the home purchase.

The Wells Lake buying strategy.
If we were buying in Wells Lake 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 Wells Lake.
The 90 Homes of Wells Lake
Wells Lake is a 90-home community in Orange Park, Clay County, with a median living area of 1,463.5 square feet and a build era running from 1993 to 1997 (median year built 1994). Current MLS data does not identify a clubhouse, pool, or other shared amenity package here, so pricing rides on the individual home and lot rather than a community fee structure. The median sale price of $235,000 works out to $172.54 per square foot.
That price sits well below where it stood a year ago — the year-over-year change is -33.8% — and homes are taking a median of 128 days to sell, both signs of a market that has slowed and repriced. There are zero active listings as of this snapshot, and the current window includes only 5 closings, so the sample behind these numbers is small; treat the figures as a read on recent activity rather than a guaranteed range. The homestead share of 65.6% suggests a base of homes filed under homestead exemption rather than one dominated by investor or rental turnover.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Wells Lake. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Clay school district says one-mill referendum renews, not raises, property tax
The Clay County school district says the referendum on the upcoming ballot renews the one-mill levy voters first approved in 2020 at the same rate. The money funds school law enforcement contracts and compensation to retain and attract teachers and support staff. A citizens' advisory committee reviews spending, and the district says non-renewal would leave a funding shortfall.
What it may mean for the marketThe outcome sets school operating funding and staffing support for Clay County without changing the current millage rate. The site is about 14 miles south of Wells Lake.

FDOT held a St. Johns County open house on the final phase in January 2026.
