As of October 2026, the MLS records 8 closed sales in Furman in Jacksonville, FL since 2007, the most recent in August 2025. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 7,643 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $315,000, 43 median days on market, with 4,168 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,630 ($4,890 with the full homestead exemption).
Furman is an old-Jacksonville pocket where the housing stock does the talking. With a median year built of 1950 and a span running from 1922 all the way to 2024, price here is driven less by location tier and more by condition and vintage. Two homes on the same block can trade far apart depending on whether the wiring, roof, and systems have been touched. Read every listing on its own merits — the median tells you the middle, not the spread.
The homestead share sits at roughly 26%, meaning most of these 157 homes are held by someone other than an owner-occupant. That points to a market with a meaningful investor and rental presence, which matters if you are buying to live: you will be competing against buyers running the numbers rather than picturing themselves at the kitchen table. Sellers of well-kept, updated homes have a genuine edge in that environment; sellers of tired inventory should expect condition to get priced in hard.

The 60-Second Overview
Furman is a small, older enclave in Jacksonville's Duval County where a century of building — from 1922 through 2024 — sits side by side. The compact footprint of the typical home means value turns on updates, not square footage.
realMLS (Northeast Florida) sales records identify 5 homes in Furman that have changed hands since 2015, built between 1946 and 1960 (median 1951), with a median living area of about 940 sq ft and a typical 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout; 100% are single-family homes. Source: realMLS (Northeast Florida) closed-sale history compiled by Momentum Research; counts reflect homes with a recorded MLS sale, not every home in the community.
County records show 16 qualified sales in Furman across 2024–2025 (12 in 2024, 4 in 2025), median $149,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Who Furman is best for.
Best for
- Buyers wanting a smaller, efficient footprint who value character over size
- Renovation-minded buyers ready to invest sweat and capital into an older home
- Investors reading the numbers, given the meaningful non-owner-occupied share
Probably not for
- Buyers who need significantly more than roughly 1,200 square feet of living space
- Anyone wanting a brand-new, maintenance-free home with no vintage surprises
- Buyers who need a single predictable price and can't underwrite each home on its own condition

The Furman buying strategy.
If we were buying in Furman 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 Furman.
Vintage stock, condition-driven pricing
The median living area here is about 1,219 square feet, so these are modest, efficient floor plans by design. Buyers who need sprawl will feel the walls; buyers who want a manageable, walk-the-whole-house footprint will find the scale honest. With the median home built around 1950, expect the questions that come with mid-century construction — foundations, plumbing, electrical, and roof age all deserve a hard look during due diligence.
That 1922-to-2024 build range is the story. Furman has seen new construction and gut renovations land alongside untouched originals, which is why you cannot shop this community on price alone. A newer or fully reworked home and an original 1950s house are different products entirely, and the single median figure blends both. Come in ready to evaluate each property's actual condition rather than assuming the neighborhood sets one number.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Furman. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this driven by condition and vintage, the difference between a smart buy and an expensive lesson is knowing what a 1950s bones home actually needs. We walk the property with you, flag the systems that will cost real money, and price the update gap honestly — whether you are buying to live or weighing a home against the area's clear investor demand.
