True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-10-20, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $499,900, $243 per square foot, a median 9 days on market, sellers accepting 99% of original asking. At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $8,930 ($8,200 with the full homestead exemption).
Fairmont is an older Jacksonville pocket where the housing stock runs back to 1922 and forward to 2024, with the middle of the market built around 1960. That spread is the whole story: price here is driven less by a single prevailing product type and more by the condition and updates of any individual home. Two houses on the same block can sell very differently depending on what has been done to them.
With a homestead share near three-quarters, most of these homes are owner-occupied rather than held as rentals, which tends to mean tighter, more deliberate turnover. For a seller, a well-renovated home stands out against a backdrop of aging inventory. For a buyer, the work is in reading condition carefully — the age range means systems, roofs, and prior updates matter as much as square footage.

County records show 7 qualified sales in Fairmont across 2024–2025 (3 in 2024, 4 in 2025), median $380,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.
Fairmont is a community of 146 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1922 and 2024 (median 1960.0), with a median living area of about 1,958 square feet. 72% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Fairmont is an established, mostly owner-occupied Jacksonville neighborhood with a housing stock spanning a century, so the median mid-century home sits alongside both older and recently built houses. The through-line here is variety by age and condition, not a uniform subdivision look.
Who Fairmont is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable inspecting older homes and budgeting for updates
- Owner-occupants seeking an established neighborhood to hold long-term
- Buyers who value selection across a wide range of build years and sizes
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a uniform, recently built subdivision
- Investors expecting fast rental turnover in a mostly owner-occupied area
- Buyers unwilling to weigh condition and system age property by property

The Fairmont buying strategy.
If we were buying in Fairmont 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 Fairmont.
Reading age and condition in an older grid
The median home was built around 1960 and runs close to 1,960 square feet of living space, but the range from 1922 to 2024 tells you not to expect consistency. You will find early-20th-century houses, a heavy mid-century core, and scattered new construction, sometimes within the same few streets. That mix rewards buyers who can evaluate a specific property on its merits rather than assume a neighborhood standard.
Because roughly 73% of homes carry a homestead exemption, this reads as a settled, hold-and-live neighborhood rather than an investor churn zone. Inventory sits at 146 homes in the snapshot, so there is real selection, but the differences between listings — updated versus original, older versus newer build — will be wider than in a cookie-cutter community. Do the inspection homework.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Fairmont. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
