Delray Manor
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Delray Manor is a small, established pocket of Jacksonville with just 49 homes and a median build year of 1967. That age spread — with houses dating back to 1944 and others as recent as 2019 — is the single biggest driver of value here. Price is condition-driven: an updated or rebuilt house and an original mid-century home in need of work can sit on the same street, and the gap between them is wide. There is no reliable price band to quote; you evaluate this market house by house.
The ownership posture is notably stable, with roughly 78% of homes homesteaded. For a seller, that scarcity of listings means a well-prepared home stands out; for a buyer, it means patience — inventory turns over slowly, and the right house may not always be on the market when you are. Come in ready to move on the ones that show well and to underwrite the ones that need work.
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
Delray Manor is a compact, owner-occupied enclave in Duval County where a median living area near 1,941 square feet sits atop a housing stock built across several decades — the deciding factor in any given home's value is its condition, not its zip code.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.

The Delray Manor buying strategy.
If we were buying in Delray Manor 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 Delray Manor.
A condition-driven street-by-street market
With homes ranging from 1944 to 2019 and a median build year of 1967, Delray Manor is best understood as a renovation market. Some homes have been reworked or replaced entirely; many retain their original mid-century footprint. That means comparable sales are less useful than usual here — a buyer should weigh roof, systems, and updates on each specific property rather than assume a neighborhood number applies.
The median living space of about 1,941 square feet points to real, usable houses rather than starter boxes. Combine that with a homestead share near 78%, and you get a low-churn area where sellers hold. When something does list, it draws attention precisely because turnover is limited.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Delray Manor. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 49-home enclave where value hinges on condition and listings are scarce, generic comps mislead. We walk each property on its merits — age of systems, scope of updates, and how it stacks against the few relevant sales — so buyers pay for what they get and sellers price to the house, not the block.
