Jacksonville, FL Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Jacksonville produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last six months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 8,043
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $290,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $176
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $199,900 and $395,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 8,043 closed sales in Jacksonville over the last six months, with a median closing price of $290,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $199,900 and $395,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. The large tracked sample provides substantial market-level evidence. Across the 8,014 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $142 and $216 per square foot.

Where Jacksonville sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Jacksonville over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $199,900 and $395,000. Among the 194 Florida markets with a published band, Jacksonville's middle-half spread ($199,900 to $395,000) ranks 98th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 34 days, across 4,789 Jacksonville closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 28 days, across 3,956 Jacksonville closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Jacksonville angle

Jacksonville pairs a large evidence base with a wide target. The band leans slightly upward from the median, so an above-average property is better anchored on upper-band closings than on an adjusted midpoint.

What is being reported about the Jacksonville market

The numbers above are what we measure from tracked closings. Alongside them, here is what local and national coverage is reporting, from the source:

• •The Jacksonville Daily Record reported that the median sale price of Northeast Florida homes rose to $420,000 in June 2026, up 7.9% from a year earlier and the fourth straight monthly increase, while pending sales dropped 32.3% from May (Jacksonville Daily Record, Jul 13, 2026)
• •News4Jax (WJXT) reported NEFAR's June 2026 statistics showing the Northeast Florida median single-family home price at $420,000 (up 2.4% from May), 2,100 closed sales, 7,216 homes in active inventory (a 3.4-month supply), a median of 31 days on market, and a Duval County median of $350,000 (News4Jax (WJXT), Jul 10, 2026)

From market read to offer price

A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Jacksonville address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Jacksonville over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Jacksonville city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 14% of the 8,043 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $305,000.
