Duval County real estate.
Duval County is the heart of the Jacksonville metro, the largest and most varied housing market in Northeast Florida. It runs from the historic riverfront neighborhoods and the beaches through the Southside job centers and the master-planned communities of the southern and western edges, with the widest price range and the fastest-moving inventory in the region.

Duval County at a glance.
Duval is the volume county, with more homes, more neighborhoods, and more price diversity than any of its neighbors. You can buy a historic bungalow in Riverside or Springfield, a beach condo in Jacksonville Beach, a Southside townhome in Baymeadows, or a new-construction home in eTown, Wells Creek, or the Mandarin and Bartram corridors, all within one county.
As of the April 2026 NEFAR report, the Duval median was about $332,500, below the regional median, and homes sold in a median of 33 days, the fastest pace in the region. Its affordability index of 101 was the only county near balance, which is why Duval draws first-time buyers, move-up families, and investors alike.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Median sale price | $332,500 |
| Median days on market | around 33 days |
| Active inventory | about 3,400 homes |
| Months of supply | 3.7-month |
| Position in region | The largest and fastest-moving county in the region |

Schools.
Duval County is served by a mix of A-rated magnet and neighborhood schools across Duval County Public Schools. In Northeast Florida, school zoning is one of the biggest drivers of home value, and it varies by address and changes as districts adjust boundaries. Confirm the current assignment for any specific home with the district before you buy. See the Duval County Schools guide for the district's standing and the schools, and the Northeast Florida school-zone guide for how zones affect prices.
Buying or selling in Duval County.
A county median is a starting point, not a price. The right number for a specific home or offer comes from recent comparable sales in that exact neighborhood, which is what a local agent provides. Momentum represents buyers and sellers across Duval County, and works only for you. Call (904) 351-6461 or reach us at jon@movewithmomentum.com.
Market figures come from the Northeast Florida Association of REALTORS (NEFAR) and RealMLS monthly releases, the most recent being April 2026 at publication, updated monthly. County medians describe the whole county and are not a substitute for a comparable-sales analysis of a specific property. Every community linked here has its own guide with prices, schools, HOA and CDD detail, the commute, and the honest trade-offs.
