As of October 2026, the MLS records 69 closed sales in Goodbys Trace in Jacksonville, FL since 2001, the most recent in April 2026. Recorded prices since 2024 ran from $298,500 to $425,000 (median $387,500), on homes of 1,373 to 1,883 sq ft. 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 $6,920 ($6,190 with the full homestead exemption).
Goodbys Trace is a fixed, built-out pocket of Jacksonville — 87 homes total, all raised between 1986 and 1993, with a median build year of 1987. The typical home here runs 1,842 square feet, and the current median sale price is $410,000, which works out to $240.98 per square foot. With 82.8% of homes carrying a homestead exemption, this is a community where most owners are living in the home rather than flipping it or renting it out — that ownership pattern tends to show up as steadier upkeep and fewer distressed listings.
Right now there are zero active listings in Goodbys Trace, and the numbers we do have — a median 45 days on market and a 15.5% year-over-year price gain, based on the past three months of closed sales — describe a community trading in a tight, low-inventory pattern rather than a fast-moving one. Sellers considering a move here should expect real buyer interest but not necessarily a rushed sale; buyers should expect to wait for something to come available and to move decisively when it does.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

The Goodbys Trace buying strategy.
If we were buying in Goodbys Trace 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 Goodbys Trace.
A Small, Settled Pocket of Duval County
At 87 homes, Goodbys Trace is a tight footprint, and it was built out fast — every home dates to the 1986–1993 window, with a median build year of 1987. That kind of construction timeline means the housing stock is fairly consistent in style and system age, which matters when comparing homes on paper: differences in price here are far more likely to reflect condition and updates than era. The median home runs 1,842 square feet, and the current median price of $410,000 puts per-square-foot pricing at $240.98.
There's no documented HOA or amenity package tied to current MLS listings, so this isn't a community selling on a clubhouse or a gate — it's selling on the house and the location. The ownership pattern reinforces that: 82.8% of homes here carry a homestead exemption, meaning the large majority of owners live in the home rather than holding it as a rental or second property. Combined with zero active listings today, that points to a market where inventory turns over slowly and existing owners aren't in a hurry to sell.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Goodbys Trace. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

With zero active listings in Goodbys Trace right now, this is exactly the kind of community where being first to know about a coming listing — through direct owner contact, off-market conversations, or pre-market notice — matters more than scrolling a portal.
