See the Georgetown neighborhood guide for homes and lifestyle.
What makes a great real estate agent in Georgetown
The best Georgetown agents share four things: local sales experience (they’ve actually closed deals here), pricing accuracy built on real comps, marketing that reaches the right buyers, and negotiation that protects your money. In Georgetown, homes can take time to sell (a median of 107 days on market), so marketing reach and negotiation make the difference, and values have softened about 8% over the past year, so a disciplined pricing strategy is key.
That local nuance is why a Georgetown specialist beats a generalist: they know the streets, the HOAs, the school zones, and what buyers here will and won’t pay for.

Where Georgetown sales actually landed, 2024–2026
Of the 27 recorded Georgetown closings since 2024, half landed between $329,500 and $369,500 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $269,250 and the highest $385,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.

What homes of your size have sold for in Georgetown
The same recorded closings, split into thirds by living area. Find the row your home falls in: the $/sqft figure times your square footage is the recorded-sales bracket for homes like yours here — a starting range from real closings, not a valuation of your specific property. Price per square foot is nearly flat across sizes here ($167 to $168), so square footage alone explains most of the price spread.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 2,005–2,121 sq ft | $167 | $340,000 | $313,000 – $375,000 | 9 |
| Mid-size homes 2,121–2,142 sq ft | $166 | $355,000 | $275,000 – $384,000 | 9 |
| Larger homes 2,142–2,142 sq ft | $168 | $360,000 | $269,250 – $385,000 | 9 |

What is on the market in Georgetown right now

For a seller this is the competition a buyer will tour alongside your home; for a buyer, the stale share is where negotiating room usually is. See the current Georgetown listings →
Which way this market is moving
Active inventory across Duval County has fallen over the past year (-16%). About 28% of county listings currently carry a price cut, which tells you how much negotiating room the average seller has already conceded. Georgetown itself has appreciated about 55% over the period Momentum’s MLS data tracks — a community-level trend, not the county average. A strong local agent will reconcile these numbers with what is happening on your exact street before recommending a price.
What it costs to own in Georgetown
On a median-priced Georgetown home ($325,000), property taxes at Duval County’s typical millage of 17.865 run roughly $4,913 a year with the homestead exemption applied — before any CDD or special-district charges, which vary by community.
The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Duval County is about $1,315 a year (April 2026 filings); private-market quotes differ, and a good agent will tell you which carriers are actually writing here.
Run the real numbers before you commit: what selling nets you, whether your Save Our Homes benefit moves with you, and rent vs buy in Duval County.
At Georgetown’s $325,000 median and Duval County’s adopted 17.86 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $5,810 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $5,070 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Duval County tax page.
Rents and the investor math
Typical asking rent across Duval County sits near $1,627 a month (Zillow’s rent index). Rents are moving about 1.6% year over year. County-level yield math pencils to roughly a 6.59% cap rate on typical numbers, before expenses. Home prices run about 4.33x the county’s median household income, the affordability backdrop every buyer here negotiates inside. If you are weighing an investment purchase in Georgetown, ask your agent for community-level rent comps rather than county averages — the spread between communities is wide.
Who is moving to Duval County, and what they earn
The county gained a net 912 people in the latest IRS county-migration year. Households moving IN average $67,296 in income versus $68,273 for those moving out — movers arriving here earn less than those leaving, which shapes what sellers can ask and what buyers compete against. The biggest out-of-state feeder markets are GA, CA, VA. Median household income in Duval County has grown about 28% since 2018 ($68,447 now). Population is up about 9% over the same stretch. An agent who knows these flows can tell you which way demand in Georgetown is actually pointing, not just where prices have been.
Sources: IRS SOI county-to-county migration; U.S. Census income and population estimates. County-level data for context; community demand varies within the county.
School context you can verify: the Duval County school district earned a district grade of A from the Florida Department of Education (2025-26) and has held an A since 2025. Attendance zones vary by address, so confirm the zoned schools for any specific home with the district.

If you’re buying in Georgetown
Time is on your side in Georgetown right now. Tour aggressively, compare concessions — rate buydowns and credits often beat a small price cut — and let your agent use days-on-market as negotiating leverage. Every price cut on a listing is information.
If you’re selling in Georgetown
Selling into a slower Georgetown market means prep and pricing are the whole game. Interview agents on their marketing reach beyond the MLS, their plan for the first 14 days, and what they would do at day 45 if showings stall. The wrong list price costs more than any commission difference.
Questions to ask before you hire a Georgetown agent
- How many homes have you sold in or near Georgetown in the last year — the community recorded 9?
- How would you price my home against the $156 per square foot Georgetown closings have averaged — and the size-band table above?
- Homes here have been taking about 107 days to go under contract — what is your plan for the first two weeks?
- With about 6.7 months of supply in Georgetown, is this a market where you would advise me to negotiate or hold firm?
- How and how often will you communicate with me?
- Can you share recent client references?
Why community expertise matters in Georgetown
Two homes a mile apart can sell on completely different terms. A Georgetown expert prices to the micro-market, knows which upgrades buyers reward, and has the relationships to get deals done.
Top listing agents vs. buyer’s agents in Georgetown
If you’re selling in Georgetown, a top listing agent’s pricing, staging, and marketing are what win top dollar — the same skills behind a strong home sale. If you’re buying, a sharp buyer’s agent protects you in negotiation and inspections. The best Georgetown Realtors do both well; ask any agent you interview which side they’re strongest on and how they’d handle yours.
