What the 10-year trend shows
Zillow's typical Jacksonville home value was $149,997 in August 2016 and $285,103 in August 2026, a rise of 90.1% over ten years. Most of that gain came in a short burst: from August 2020 to August 2022 the figure went from $203,287 to $305,726, up 50.4% in two years.
Since then the August readings have drifted lower: $298,673 in 2023, $300,147 in 2024, $287,470 in 2025 and $285,103 in 2026. Today's value is 6.7% below the August 2022 figure. That is a gradual correction, not a crash, and the latest one-year drop of 0.8% is smaller than the 4.2% drop from August 2024 to August 2025.
Inventory, days to pending and price cuts
The supply and speed measures moved in sellers' favor over the year, even as values edged down:
- Inventory: 10,754 homes for sale, down from 12,499 a year earlier, a 14.0% drop.
- Days to pending: 80 days in the metro, down from 90.
- Sale-to-list ratio: 97.0%, up from 96.4%. A typical home sold for about $3 below every $100 of asking price.
- Price cuts: 28.4% of listings had a price cut, down from 31.7%.
Fewer listings, quicker contracts and fewer cuts point to a market that is firmer than a year ago. It is still a slower market than many sellers expect: 80 days to pending means homes commonly sit for more than two months before going under contract, and more than one listing in four still cuts its price.
Why the median sale price rose while values fell
Zillow's median sale price was $369,000, up from $350,000 a year earlier, a 5.4% increase. That can look like it contradicts the 0.8% drop in the typical home value, but the two measure different things.
The typical home value estimates what a middle-of-the-market home is worth across all homes. The median sale price only reflects homes that actually sold, so it rises when more larger or newer homes change hands. Use the typical value for the trend, and use recent comparable sales for pricing a specific home.
Where values are rising and falling
The citywide number hides a split. In Zillow's August 2026 ZIP data, the higher-value ZIPs on the east and south sides mostly gained, while several lower-value ZIPs near downtown lost ground:
- Up: 32233 (Atlantic Beach and Mayport) rose 1.4% to $489,045; 32223 (south Mandarin) rose 1.3% to $434,121; 32225 rose 1.0% to $378,675.
- Down: 32202 (downtown) fell 10.6% to $155,595; 32254 fell 7.9% to $124,049; 32209 fell 5.1% to $106,323; 32205 fell 4.2% to $255,208.
Neighborhoods vary even more. Zillow shows Ortega up 9.4% to $666,955 and San Marco up 2.6% to $370,771, while Baymeadows fell 10.3% to $193,391. See every ZIP in our Jacksonville ZIP code guide.
Rents are still rising
Zillow's typical Jacksonville rent was $1,601 in August 2026, up 2.0% in a year. Rents rose while values were flat, but the monthly cost of owning depends heavily on your rate, tax bill and insurance. Our Jacksonville cost of living guide breaks those costs down.
What it means for buyers
- Negotiate from the data. With a 97.0% sale-to-list ratio and 28.4% of listings cutting their price, ask for the listing's price history and days on market before you offer.
- Budget for the rate. Freddie Mac's 30-year fixed average was 7.03% for the week of September 24, 2026. Get a written loan estimate before you shop.
- Check insurance and flood risk first. Get an insurance quote and check the flood zone before your inspection period ends, since both can change what you can afford.
- Price by street, not by city. With ZIP values running from $106,323 to $489,045, compare recent sales close to the home.
What it means for sellers
- Price it right at launch. More than one listing in four cut its price. Each cut adds time on the market, so set the first price from recent nearby sales.
- Plan for the timeline. 80 days to pending plus the closing period means a listing can take several months from start to finish. Plan your move and any overlap in costs around that.
- Know your net, not just your price. Run the numbers in the seller net proceeds calculator, and start with a current estimate from our Jacksonville home value page.
- Compare a quick sale honestly. If time matters more than price, our guide to selling a house fast in Jacksonville compares a cash offer with listing.
Common questions
Are home prices dropping in Jacksonville?+
Slightly. Zillow's typical Jacksonville home value was $285,103 in August 2026, down 0.8% from a year earlier and 6.7% below the August 2022 reading of $305,726. Over five years it is still up 16.7%. Results vary by area: some beach and south side ZIPs rose over the year while several ZIPs near downtown fell.
Is Jacksonville a buyer's or seller's market right now?+
It sits in between. Homes sold for 97.0% of list price and 28.4% of listings had a price cut in August 2026, which gives buyers room to negotiate. Inventory fell 14.0% to 10,754 homes and days to pending dropped from 90 to 80, so conditions were firmer for sellers than a year earlier.
How long does it take to sell a house in Jacksonville?+
Zillow's August 2026 figure for the metro was 80 days from listing to pending, down from 90 a year earlier. Closing adds more time after the contract is signed, depending on financing and title work. Price, condition and location all affect how long a specific home takes, so ask a local agent for recent days on market nearby.
What is the median sale price in Jacksonville?+
Zillow's median sale price for Jacksonville was $369,000 in August 2026, up from $350,000 a year earlier. The median sale price reflects only homes that sold, so it can rise when more large or new homes sell. Zillow's typical home value of $285,103 is the better guide to the overall trend.
