Market Heat
Wilford Preserve's pricing is anchored by build age, not size alone: at a median year built of 2022 and a living-area median of 2,332 square feet, this is functionally a recent-construction resale market, and the median price of $427,995 (about $161.76 per square foot) tracks that vintage more than square footage on its own.
With 27 active listings against 589 homes and 4 months of supply, the community sits in a balanced band — not tilted hard toward either side. A median 31.5 days on market alongside a 7% year-over-year gain says sellers aren't waiting long, but buyers aren't getting steamrolled by bidding wars either; a market heat score of 55 backs up that middle-of-the-road read.

Who Wilford Preserve is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a home near 2,332 square feet built within the last five years, budgeting around the $427,995 median.
- Sellers whose home is at or near median condition and size, who want to test a balanced market rather than one strongly favoring either side.
- Buyers who value HOA-maintained common amenities (pool, clubhouse, fitness center, dog park) and are willing to budget for HOA dues and rules.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to browse a large, varied active-listing pool before deciding — only 27 homes are active at once here.
- Buyers assuming a flat, uniform price-per-square-foot across the community — the 2019–2024 build spread means finishes and pricing vary meaningfully.
- Sellers expecting a guaranteed price bump — a 7% year-over-year gain is real but not a promise of continued appreciation.

Recent Developments in Wilford Preserve

Hillwood contracts with the City of Jacksonville for 192 acres at AllianceFlorida at Cecil Commerce Center
Master developer Hillwood contracted with the City of Jacksonville for 192 acres at AllianceFlorida at Cecil Commerce Center on Jacksonville's Westside, continuing the buildout of the former Naval Air Station Cecil Field into an industrial and logistics park.
What it may mean for the marketContinued absorption of large industrial parcels at Cecil signals sustained employment growth on the Westside, which can support housing demand across nearby communities. The site is about 7 miles northwest of Wilford Preserve.

First Coast Expressway advances as an economic-development corridor across Clay and St. Johns
The First Coast Expressway (State Road 23), a tolled beltway looping around the west and south of the Jacksonville metro, continued to open land for development along its corridor, with the final St. Johns County phase from Interstate 95 to east of County Road 2209 in progress. FDOT held a St. Johns County open house on the final phase in January 2026.
What it may mean for the marketNew limited-access highway capacity shortens commutes and opens adjacent land, changes that have historically shaped where new communities and demand concentrate. The site is about 10 miles south of Wilford Preserve.

Hillwood seeks to mass-grade an AllianceFlorida site for a possible 1 million-square-foot building

What it may mean for the marketA build-ready million-square-foot pad points to a potential large employer on the Westside, the kind of jobs anchor that can lift demand for nearby housing. The site is about 7 miles northwest of Wilford Preserve.

The Wilford Preserve buying strategy.
If we were buying in Wilford Preserve 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 Wilford Preserve.
A Young Community, Still Settling In
The 82 closings in the current window against 589 total homes point to steady, non-frantic turnover for a community this age — enough activity to keep pricing data current without the churn you'd expect in a purely speculative new-build market. Roughly 49% of homes carry a homestead exemption, a data point worth factoring in when sizing up how much of this inventory turns over as owner-occupied versus non-homesteaded property.
Amenities reported across MLS listings include a pool, clubhouse, fitness center, playground, dog park, park, and a children's pool, with trash pickup and grounds maintenance handled through the HOA. Verify current access and usage rules directly with the HOA before assuming any specific amenity comes with a given home — MLS-reported amenities can lag what is actually in place.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Wilford Preserve. 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 Wilford Preserve 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 4 factors (6.9). Basis: Recent Direction +7.0% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 4.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 49% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 98.3% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
Wilford Preserve's build-year spread (2019–2024) means two homes with similar square footage can carry meaningfully different finishes, warranty status, and price-per-square-foot — at a $161.76 per square foot median, that spread matters. Momentum tracks the realmls feed for this community closing by closing, so pricing conversations start from the current 4-months-supply, balanced-market snapshot rather than a stale citywide average.
