Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 8 closed sales in Durkee in Jacksonville, FL since 2004, the most recent in August 2022. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,811 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $310,000, 44 median days on market, with 2,375 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,540 ($4,800 with the full homestead exemption).
Durkee is a small Jacksonville pocket inside Duval County, and the honest starting point is that there isn't a lot of standardized data to lean on here. What that means in practice: price is driven by the individual property far more than by any neighborhood trend line. Condition, lot, and how a given home has been maintained or updated will move the number more than anything happening market-wide.
For buyers, that puts the work on the property itself — walk it, inspect it, and price it on its own merits rather than assuming a going rate. For sellers, the same logic cuts your way if your home shows well, since a thin comparable set means a clean, well-presented listing can stand out rather than get averaged down.
The 60-Second Overview
Durkee is a modest Jacksonville neighborhood in Duval County where the story is told home by home rather than by broad statistics, so context and on-the-ground judgment matter more than headline figures.
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.
Who Durkee is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable underwriting a purchase on the specific property's condition rather than a neighborhood benchmark
- Value-focused buyers willing to inspect closely and act on what the home actually shows
- Sellers ready to prepare and present a home well to stand out in a thin comparable pool
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a large set of recent comparable sales to feel confident
- Those wanting a fully predictable, trend-driven pricing story
- Sellers unwilling to address condition before listing

The Durkee buying strategy.
If we were buying in Durkee 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 Durkee.
A property-first market
Because this is a smaller area without a deep pool of recent activity to benchmark against, the usual shortcuts — assume a per-square-foot rate, apply a neighborhood premium — don't work cleanly. Two homes on the same street can be worth meaningfully different amounts depending on updates, systems, and layout. Treat every listing as its own negotiation.
That also means timing and preparation carry weight. A seller who addresses deferred maintenance before listing removes the easiest thing a buyer can use to negotiate down. A buyer who reads condition accurately can find value where a headline number would have been misleading.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Durkee. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
