Jon's Read · written July 15, 2026

Willow Lakes prices well under the broader Duval County market — a median of $124,000 and a median price per square foot of $79.25 — which points to a smaller, older housing stock where condition and square footage carry more weight than finishes or lot premium. The HOA structure is basic here: grounds maintenance and trash, nothing more, so the appeal is affordability and low complexity rather than amenities.

Right now there is nothing active to show a buyer in Willow Lakes — zero listings — even though the community has appreciated 170% since 2012 and carries a market heat score of 29, suggesting it is not a fast-moving segment day to day. For sellers, that mix of scarcity and long-run price growth can work in your favor if you are ready to list; for buyers, it means being ready to move the moment something does come up, since recent listings that did trade took a median of 73.5 days to sell.

Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Willow Lakes right now

🟡 Balanced market. 6.0 months of supply and 0% 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 October 20, 2026. Confidence: Low (1 active and pending listings, 3 closed sales in 12 months).

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($115K) is down 12.7% from the prior 12 months ($132K). With about 5 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 20. Confidence: Low (3 and 4 sales in the two windows).

What's unique here: the median sale price is about 63% below the typical Duval County sale ($115K vs $310K, trailing 12 months, realMLS records).

The 60-Second Overview

Willow Lakes market snapshot (as of October 20, 2026): the median sale price is about $115K ($70 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 42 days on market for closed sales, and 6.0 months of supply, a balanced market. The trailing-12-month median is down 13% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (3 closings in the current window).

In ZIP 32244 (Jacksonville), 818 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $268K ($167/sq ft), up 0.7% year over year, with a median 40 days on market. Right now 178 active and 71 pending listings put supply at about 9.2 months — a balanced market. See the live ZIP 32244 housing market and the Duval County market.

realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 49 homes in Willow Lakes that have changed hands since 2002, built between 1976 and 1976 (median 1976), with a median living area of about 1,642 sq ft and a typical 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout; 98% are condominiums. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.

Willow Lakes is a small, maintained community in Jacksonville, Duval County, where the HOA covers grounds upkeep and trash — a straightforward, low-maintenance ownership structure rather than a resort-style amenity package.

Best for

  • Buyers with a budget near the $124,000 median who prioritize price over finishes.
  • Investors comfortable with a maintenance-grounds-and-trash HOA structure and a longer hold horizon.
  • Patient buyers willing to wait for the right listing rather than shop active inventory today.

Probably not for

  • Buyers who need to choose from active listings right now — there are none.
  • Buyers on a tight closing timeline, given a 73.5-day median days on market.
  • Buyers expecting resort-style amenities beyond grounds maintenance and trash service.

If we were buying in Willow Lakes today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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 Willow Lakes.

Best Buy
Buyers targeting a lower entry price in Duval County who can be patient about timing.
Biggest Risk
Zero active listings means there is nothing to buy here right now.
Sweet Spot
A buyer comfortable with an older, smaller home footprint priced near $79.25 per square foot.
Avoid If
Avoid if you need to move quickly — median time on market runs 73.5 days once something does list.

A compact price point with a thin, slow market

The numbers here are compact by Jacksonville standards: a median price of $124,000 and a median price per square foot of $79.25, both well below what is typical across Duval County. That combination points to a smaller, dated homes footprint rather than new construction — value in Willow Lakes is driven by square footage and condition more than lot size or finishes.

With zero active listings at last check, there is currently no inventory to shop here — whatever supply exists moves through without sitting visibly on the market. A median of 73.5 days on market and a market heat score of 29 both describe a slower-moving segment when homes do list, even as the community has appreciated 170% since 2012. Long-run price growth paired with a thin, slow-moving present-day market is the core tension a buyer or seller here has to plan around.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Willow Lakes. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

Because active listings currently sit at zero, timing and off-market awareness matter more than browsing a portal. Momentum tracks realmls closings in Willow Lakes as they happen and can flag a new listing, a pending contract, or a pricing shift before it is broadly visible — useful in a small community where a handful of transactions moves the median.
