Market Heat

Costa Verano prices off two things: square footage and access. At a $1,650,000 median and $659.37 per square foot, this reading sits well above typical Jacksonville Beach comps, driven by beach access, secured key-card entry, and full-time on-site management rather than by unit size. Since 2012 the median here is up 164%, so pricing has moved with the broader run-up in coastal condo demand, not against it.
Right now the posture is thin and soft at the same time. Zero active listings means there is nothing on the market to anchor a comp against, and the most recent window closed only seven sales — few enough that any single transaction can swing the median. Add a median 104 days on market, a market heat score of 19, and a year-over-year move of -19.5%, and the read is a building cooling off its post-2012 highs with very little current inventory to test where the floor actually sits.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

🔴 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($1.41M) is down 10.6% from the prior 12 months ($1.58M) and up 126% since 2012. With about 7 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 October 23. Confidence: Low (6 and 5 sales in the two windows).
What's unique here: the median sale price is about 5x the typical Duval County sale ($1.41M vs $311K, trailing 12 months, realMLS records).

The Costa Verano buying strategy.
If we were buying in Costa Verano 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 Costa Verano.
A Building Priced on Scarcity
The amenity list explains a lot of that per-square-foot number: beach access, key card and secured lobby entry, 24-hour security, a fitness center, sauna, spa/hot tub, barbecue area, elevators, storage, and full-time on-site management. That is a service and access package more typical of resort-style beachfront buildings, and it shows up directly in the $659.37 median price per square foot. (Confirm current amenities and access terms with the HOA — building offerings can change.)
With zero active listings and only seven closings in the most recent window, Costa Verano trades more like a thinly held asset than a typical resale market. That scarcity cuts both ways: sellers can wait out a slow stretch since there is little competing inventory, but buyers have almost nothing to compare a listing against when one does surface. The 104-day median days on market and a heat score of 19 both point to a building in a cooling phase after its long run-up since 2012, even as the amenity package keeps the price point elevated relative to the rest of the beach market.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Costa Verano. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here
In a building with zero active listings and only seven recent closings, there is effectively no public comp set to lean on — pricing a unit here means piecing together prior closings and building-specific amenity value rather than pulling a quick automated estimate. Momentum tracks this feed closely enough to know what actually closed and why, which matters when the visible market gives you almost nothing to work with.
