As of October 2026, the MLS records 19 closed sales in Bayard Tract in Jacksonville, FL since 2002, the most recent in October 2025. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,268 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $311,134, 43 median days on market, with 2,422 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,560 ($4,820 with the full homestead exemption).
Bayard Tract is a small pocket in Jacksonville with only 34 homes and a build range that runs from 1914 all the way to 2024. That span is the whole story here: price is driven far less by location premiums and far more by which era and condition a specific home falls into. A century-old structure and a recently completed build sit in the same tract, so the spread is wide and condition-dependent rather than uniform.
With a median year built around 2004, the housing stock leans newer on balance, but the outliers on both ends mean you cannot shop this community on averages. A homestead share near 65% suggests a core of longer-term owner-occupants rather than a churn of quick flips, which tends to keep inventory thin. Buyers should expect to underwrite each home on its own merits; sellers should price to condition, not to a neighborhood 'comp' that may not exist for their vintage.

The 60-Second Overview
Bayard Tract is a compact 34-home enclave in Duval County where homes range from 1914 to 2024, so no two listings are truly comparable. The median living area sits just under 1,760 square feet, pointing to modestly scaled homes rather than sprawling floor plans.

The Bayard buying strategy.
If we were buying in Bayard today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Bayard.
A tract defined by vintage spread
The defining feature of Bayard Tract is the century-wide build range. When a market holds homes from 1914 through 2024 in a footprint this small, valuation becomes a per-home exercise: original construction, additions, renovations, and system updates matter far more than any tract-level number. The median build year near 2004 tells you the middle of the stock is relatively contemporary, but it does not describe the pre-war homes or the newest builds that pull the range in both directions.
The median living area of roughly 1,758 square feet frames this as a community of moderately sized homes. Combined with a homestead share around 65%, the picture is one of a settled, owner-occupied pocket with limited turnover. For a buyer, that means patience and a willingness to act when the right vintage and condition come available; for a seller, it means the burden is on presenting condition clearly rather than leaning on comparable sales.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Bayard. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 34-home tract with a century of build years, the wrong comp can cost you real money on either side of the table. We underwrite each Bayard Tract home on its own vintage, condition, and systems rather than a blended average, and we track the thin inventory closely so buyers move when the right home surfaces and sellers price to what the home actually is.
