Data as of September 22, 2026. Data provided by realMLS. Market figures describe homes, not residents. Cite as: Momentum Realty, “Cedar Bay key facts,” movewithmomentum.com/neighborhoods/cedar-bay-jacksonville, data as of September 22, 2026.
Cedar Bay's price story starts with a stock that runs deep: the community's 255 homes were built anywhere from 1928 to 2024, with a median build year of 2013 and a median living area of 2,589 square feet. That spread — older construction sitting alongside homes built within the last dozen years — puts more weight on a given home's age and condition at the point of sale than on any single street or section. At a median price of $299,947 and $142.57 per square foot, Cedar Bay is priced in line with what that mix in age and size would suggest.
The current posture is soft. Our heat score for Cedar Bay reads 14, homes are taking a median of 102 days to sell, and the last 6 closings we tracked came in 17.1% below where prices stood a year earlier. There are zero active listings at the moment, so the visible market here is thin right now — sellers should not assume a quick sale, and buyers watching for inventory need to be ready to move when something does list. Zoomed out, prices are still up 63% since 2012, so the recent pullback reads as a cooling-off from a longer run rather than a collapse.

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($295K) is down 13.0% from the prior 12 months ($339K) and up 48% since 2012. With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 22.

County records show 8 qualified sales in Cedar Bay across 2024–2025 (3 in 2024, 5 in 2025), median $455,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.
Cedar Bay is a community of 255 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1928 and 2024 (median 2013.0), with a median living area of about 2,589 square feet. 81% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Cedar Bay is a 255-home community in Duval County with a build era spanning nearly a century, though its median year built of 2013 and median living space of 2,589 square feet point to a stock that trends newer and larger than the raw range alone implies.

Who Cedar Bay is best for.
Best for
- Buyers prioritizing living space who are flexible on the exact age of construction.
- Buyers working with an agent who can surface opportunities in a market with zero current active listings.
- Owner-occupant buyers planning to stay long-term, given how much of the stock here carries a homestead exemption.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need to close on a short timeline — a 102-day median days-on-market and zero active listings work against speed.
- Sellers expecting a fast sale in the current soft-heat environment (heat score of 14).
- Buyers who want a uniform, single-era streetscape rather than a mix spanning 1928 to 2024.

The Cedar Bay buying strategy.
If we were buying in Cedar Bay 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 Cedar Bay.
A Wide Build Era, A Thin Sales Window
The spread between Cedar Bay's oldest home (1928) and its newest (2024) is unusual for a single community, and it means two buyers shopping 'Cedar Bay' can be looking at very different products depending on the section and vintage. With a median year built of 2013 and 80.7% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, most of the stock here is not cycling through as short-term rental or investment turnover — worth knowing if you're trying to read how much of the market you'll actually see listed at any given time.
On amenities, MLS listings for this community report a playground and a park, with off-site management rather than an on-site HOA presence, as reported across this community's MLS listings as of 2026-07-14. Confirm current amenities and access directly with the HOA before assuming any of the above is still in place.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Cedar Bay. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
