As of September 2026, the MLS records 119 closed sales in Empire Point in Jacksonville, FL since 2001, the most recent in August 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $415,000 to $1,595,000 (median $815,000), on homes of 1,778 to 4,300 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,836 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $310,000, 43 median days on market, with 2,379 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $14,560 ($13,830 with the full homestead exemption).
Empire Point's price is set less by scarcity marketing than by what's actually sitting on the water. This is a Duval County community built out over more than a century — homes here range from 1909 to 2021 construction, with a median year built of 1956, but the number that actually drives value is size: a median living area of 3,211 square feet. Add direct river access through the community's boat launch and dock, and you get a median price of $845,000 and a median of $289.48 per square foot — pricing that reflects large-format, water-access housing stock rather than a typical subdivision.
Right now there's exactly one active listing across 285 homes, and the median time on market is 4 days. That's not a market where buyers get to negotiate on price — it's one where a correctly priced listing is gone before most agents even get a showing scheduled. Prices are up 13.4% year over year and 298% since 2012, and the market carries 4.0 months of supply, landing it in the balanced band despite the thin inventory. For sellers, this is a strong position. For buyers, it means having financing and decision-making ready before a listing goes live, not after.

The Empire Point buying strategy.
If we were buying in Empire Point 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 Empire Point.
What Empire Point actually is
Empire Point is a small, waterfront pocket of Jacksonville — 285 homes total, built across a wide span from 1909 to 2021, with a median year built of 1956. The median living area, 3,211 square feet, is the clearest signal of what's being bought here: these are larger-format homes, not entry-level product. Community amenities include a boat launch and boat dock — access points that put water access within reach of residents beyond just the directly waterfront parcels. Amenities are reported across MLS listings, so buyers should confirm current access and condition with the HOA before writing an offer.
The numbers describe a market that trades fast and tight. With just one active listing against 285 total homes, a median of 4 days on market, and 4.0 months of supply, Empire Point sits in the balanced band by the underlying math even though it behaves like a seller's market day to day. Price growth has been steady rather than speculative — 13.4% over the past year, 298% since 2012 — and a homestead share of 79.5% suggests most of the community is owner-occupied rather than turned over as investment or rental stock.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Empire Point. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With one active listing across an entire 285-home community and a median of 4 days on market, most of what happens in Empire Point never reaches a public search — it happens through relationships, timing, and knowing which owners are quietly weighing a move. Momentum's agents track pricing at the per-square-foot level ($289.48 median) so a $845,000 listing can be evaluated against real comps rather than guesswork, and we help buyers get financing and paperwork sequenced ahead of time so a 4-day window doesn't cost them the house.
