Cedarhurst
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Price here is driven by condition and vintage, not location tier. With a median build year of 1961 and stock reaching back to 1902 and up through 2024, the median of $212,000 masks a wide spread — a renovated bungalow and a project house can sit blocks apart at very different numbers. At roughly $167 per square foot on a median of about 1,460 living feet, you are paying for what has been updated, not for a uniform product.
The market posture is soft and slow. Prices are down 11.7% year over year, homes are taking a median of 33 days to move, and the heat score sits at 38 — a buyer's cadence, not a seller's. Sellers should price to the current market and expect a full month on the road; buyers have room to inspect, negotiate, and walk away rather than chase.
Figures in this note are as of July 12, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Cedarhurst market snapshot (as of October 26, 2026): the median sale price is about $240K ($166 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 29 days on market for closed sales.
Cedarhurst is a community of 632 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1911 and 2024 (median 1972.0), with a median living area of about 1,456 square feet. 37% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Cedarhurst is an older, condition-driven pocket of Jacksonville where the housing dates back more than a century in places, so two homes at the same address on paper can trade for very different money depending on what's been done to them.
Who Cedarhurst is best for.
Best for
- Value-focused buyers around the low-$200s who will pay for inspections and read condition carefully
- Renovation-minded buyers comfortable taking on an older home and budgeting for age-related work
- Patient buyers who want negotiating room in a slower, buyer-favored market
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a turnkey, low-maintenance newer build with no surprises
- Sellers expecting fast, above-market offers in a softening window
- Anyone unwilling to budget for the systems and repairs common to homes of this vintage

The Cedarhurst buying strategy.
If we were buying in Cedarhurst 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 Cedarhurst.
An older market correcting on price
The long arc and the short arc point in opposite directions. Values are up 822% since 2012, but the last year has given back 11.7% — a reminder that this is not a straight-line market and that recent comps matter far more than the decade-long story. With around 1,005 homes and a nine-closing window, the sample is thin, which makes each individual sale carry weight and each pricing decision consequential.
The building stock is the headline. A range from 1902 to 2024 means you will tour genuinely old homes alongside newer builds, and the median vintage of 1961 tells you to budget for inspection surprises — systems, roofs, and foundations that reflect their age. This is a place to buy on condition, not on the address, and to price on condition when you sell.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Cedarhurst. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a thin, softening market with wide condition-driven spreads, the wrong comp set will misprice you badly. We read this pocket sale by sale, separate renovated stock from projects, and set expectations honestly — a median 33 days on market and a buyer's cadence mean strategy and patience beat wishful pricing.
