Caldwell Terrace Jacksonville
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Caldwell Terrace is an older, price-accessible pocket of Jacksonville where condition, not location, is doing most of the work on price. With a median around $78,250 and a median build year of 1951, you are pricing structures that have lived several lives — what a given home sells for hinges on how much of the mechanicals, roof, and systems have actually been touched. Expect a wide spread around that median depending on whether you are looking at a gut renovation or a project.
At a median of just over 40 days on market, this is not a frantic pace — sellers should plan for a real marketing window rather than a bidding war, and buyers usually have room to inspect and negotiate. The homestead share sitting near 28% tells you a meaningful slice of these homes are held as rentals or non-owner-occupied, which shapes both the inventory you see and the condition you should underwrite for.
The 60-Second Overview
Caldwell Terrace Jacksonville market snapshot (as of August 20, 2026): the median sale price is about $78K ($99 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 41 days on market for closed sales.
Caldwell Terrace is a deep, older Jacksonville market of just over 500 homes spanning more than a century of construction, where the entry price is low but the real cost lives in the renovation math.
Who Caldwell Terrace Jacksonville is best for.
Best for
- Value-focused buyers with a working renovation budget and patience for an older home
- Investors underwriting for condition who want a low basis in a deep Jacksonville market
- Buyers who can move deliberately during a 40-day-plus market and negotiate on inspection
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a move-in-ready home with recent systems and no project work
- Anyone unable to carry the gap between purchase price and finished condition
- Buyers who want a fast, competitive close and predictable, uniform pricing

The Caldwell Terrace Jacksonville buying strategy.
If we were buying in Caldwell Terrace Jacksonville 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 Caldwell Terrace Jacksonville.
Buying the condition, not the address
The construction range here runs from 1918 to 2024, which is unusually wide for one community and tells you what to expect on the ground: original early-century houses standing next to recent infill. That mix is why a single median price is a poor stand-in for any specific home. A median around $98.57 per square foot on roughly 1,162 square feet of living space points to compact footprints where the price-per-foot is being pulled down by age and deferred work as much as by size.
For buyers, the practical move is to budget for the gap between purchased condition and finished condition, and to lean hard on inspection. For sellers, the reward for a genuinely updated home is separation from the pack — in a market this condition-driven, verifiable recent work on roof, HVAC, and plumbing is the clearest lever on both price and days on market.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Caldwell Terrace Jacksonville. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
