Biscayne
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 15 closed sales in Biscayne in Jacksonville, FL since 2001, the most recent in December 2023. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,846 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,385 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,460 ($4,720 with the full homestead exemption).
Biscayne is a condition-driven market more than a price-tier market. With a building span from 1929 to 2005 and a median year built of 1985, what a buyer pays here tracks how much updating a given home has already absorbed. Two houses of similar size can sit far apart in price depending on roof, systems, and finishes, so the spread is wide and the median tells you less than the walk-through does.
At 136 homes with a homestead share of about 68%, most of this inventory is owner-occupied and turns over slowly, which keeps active listings thin. That posture favors patient sellers who have prepped the home and rewards buyers who are ready to move on the right one rather than wait for a large selection. Renovated, move-in-ready homes command attention; deferred-maintenance homes negotiate.
The 60-Second Overview
Biscayne is an established Jacksonville pocket in Duval County where homes were built across several decades, so architecture and condition vary block to block rather than reading as one uniform subdivision.

Who Biscayne is best for.
Best for
- Buyers seeking a practical mid-size home in an established Jacksonville location
- Renovation-minded buyers willing to price and take on an older home's deferred work
- Sellers who have already updated roof and systems and want to stand out in thin inventory
Probably not for
- Buyers who want new construction or open-concept layouts
- Buyers needing a wide selection of active listings to compare at once
- Buyers unwilling to budget for updates on pre-2005 systems and roofs

The Biscayne buying strategy.
If we were buying in Biscayne 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 Biscayne.
What the 1985 median really tells you
The median living area sits at roughly 1,699 square feet, which points to practical, mid-size floor plans rather than sprawling square footage. Paired with a median build year of 1985, expect homes that predate open-concept norms — meaning layout and any past renovation matter as much as the raw footprint when you compare listings.
The oldest stock reaches back to 1929 and the newest to 2005, so due diligence is not optional. Roof age, plumbing, electrical, and any additions should drive your offer. On the sell side, the homes that have already addressed those items separate themselves fastest, because they remove the guesswork a cautious buyer would otherwise price in.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Biscayne. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this condition-sensitive, the median price is a starting point, not an answer. We walk the home with you, read the roof and systems against the 1929-to-2005 build range, and price the gap between move-in-ready and deferred-maintenance so you are negotiating on facts, not vibes.
