Over the recorded series, South Shores’s median sold price moved from $163,000 (2012) to $388,650 (12 months ending 2026-08-30) — +138% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $163,000. The 2020–22 run-up did what it did everywhere — South Shores’s median moved +40% from 2019 to 2022. Against the 2024 peak of $415,000, the current median stands at -6%. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 2 to 12 closings a year (10-yr average 6.8). With roughly 6.8 closings a year, South Shores’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
Of the 17 recorded South Shores closings since 2024, half landed between $360,000 and $475,000 (the middle two quartiles); the lowest recorded sale was $295,000 and the highest $586,000. If your home sits outside the middle band, the reason usually shows up in the size table below before it shows up in condition.
| Sold price band | Share of closings | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Under $350,000 | 2 (12%) | |
| $350,000 – $400,000 | 8 (47%) | |
| $400,000 – $450,000 | 2 (12%) | |
| $450,000 – $500,000 | 3 (18%) | |
| None and up | 2 (12%) |
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. Smaller homes here have been selling at a higher price per square foot than larger ones ($294 vs $255) — the usual pattern, since lot, kitchen and baths do not scale with floor area.
| Size group | Median $/sqft | Median sold | Sold range | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smaller homes 1,148–1,333 sq ft | $294 | $367,000 | $345,000 – $475,000 | 5 |
| Mid-size homes 1,428–1,523 sq ft | $254 | $379,000 | $295,000 – $484,000 | 5 |
| Larger homes 1,551–1,959 sq ft | $255 | $430,000 | $350,000 – $586,000 | 7 |

At South Shores’s $388,650 median and Duval County’s adopted 17.86 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,940 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $6,210 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.
Current asking prices run a median $379,999 against the $388,650 recorded sold median (-2%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows. The market is carrying about 1.5 months of supply at the current sales pace. Demand check: 50% of South Shores’s listings are under contract, against 28% for ZIP 32207 and 30% for Duval County as a whole — the community is absorbing faster than its surroundings. Momentum’s market-heat index for South Shores reads 70/100 (computed from DOM, sale-to-list, and absorption; 2020–21 peaked in the 70s here).
Asking and recorded sold prices are within a few percent of each other here, so the table above is close to what a South Shores buyer will actually pay; the spread on any single home comes down to size, condition and timing.
