Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 12 closed sales in Cypress in Jacksonville, FL since 2006, the most recent in June 2022. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,873 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,391 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).
What sets price in Cypress is condition and vintage, not a tidy price band. With a median build year of 2016 but a range that stretches back to 1936, you are looking at two very different housing stories under one name — newer construction that shows well against the deep spread of older stock. The median home runs about 2,606 square feet, so you are generally paying for real living space, and the gap between an updated newer home and a tired older one will be wide.
The homestead share sits near 89%, which tells you most of these homes are owner-occupied rather than turned as rentals. That usually means slower, more deliberate turnover and sellers who are not forced to move. For a buyer, expect to compete on well-kept inventory and to underwrite condition carefully on the older end. For a seller, presentation and honest pricing against the median do the heavy lifting here.
The 60-Second Overview
Cypress is a Duval County community of 186 homes where a 2016 median build year sits atop stock dating back to 1936 — newer square footage is the norm, but the age spread is real and worth reading closely.

The Cypress buying strategy.
If we were buying in Cypress 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 Cypress.
One name, two housing stories
The headline number is the year_built range: 1936 to 2017, with a median of 2016. That means the bulk of the inventory leans modern, but a meaningful tail of older homes pulls the story in another direction. Do not assume a listing is new because the median says so — check the individual build year, because it drives everything from systems and roof age to layout.
Living space is the other anchor. At a median of about 2,606 square feet, Cypress skews toward homes with room to spread out rather than compact footprints. Combine that with the high homestead share near 89% and you get a community that trades on owner-maintained space, where the difference between a move-in-ready newer home and a deferred-maintenance older one is where the negotiation actually lives.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Cypress. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a community this small — 186 homes — and this varied by vintage, the number that matters is not the median, it is the specific home in front of you. We read each listing on its actual build year, square footage, and condition rather than the community average, and we tell you plainly when an older home's price is not supported by its bones. That is how you buy or sell against reality here.
