Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 32 closed sales in Hollyford in Jacksonville, FL since 2002, the most recent in March 2024. Recorded prices across those 32 sales ran from $9,200 to $200,000 (median $60,000), on homes of 592 to 2,828 sq ft. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,846 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $305,375, 44 median days on market, with 2,385 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $1,070.
Hollyford's story is in the build dates, not a price band. The 88 homes here span construction from 1925 through 2024, with a median year built of 1955 — a genuinely wide spread that means condition and system age vary far more house to house than you'd find in a single-era subdivision. Living space runs compact, too, with a median of 1,222.5 square feet, so buyers coming from newer, larger-footprint Duval neighborhoods should reset square-footage expectations before anything else.
The ownership math is the other signal worth reading. Only 38.5% of the 88 homes carry a homestead exemption, meaning the majority are not owner-occupied primary residences — a meaningfully higher non-homestead share than a typical resale-driven neighborhood. No shared community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, so whatever value a buyer is paying for is tied entirely to the individual house and lot, not to a clubhouse, pool, or HOA-maintained common ground.
The 60-Second Overview
Hollyford is a small, 88-home pocket of Jacksonville's Duval County built out across nearly a century, from 1925 through 2024, with a median year built of 1955 anchoring the core of the community in older housing stock.

Who Hollyford is best for.
Best for
- Buyers comfortable evaluating each home's condition individually rather than relying on a matching subdivision standard.
- Buyers looking for a smaller-footprint home, around 1,222.5 square feet, in Jacksonville's Duval County core.
- Owner-buyers or investors who don't need HOA-maintained amenities and are fine building their own value into the property.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want every home on the block built to the same year and finish level.
- Buyers who need a clubhouse, pool, or other HOA-run community amenity as part of the purchase.
- Buyers who want to lean on a run of recent comparable closings to set price expectations here.

The Hollyford buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hollyford 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 Hollyford.
Nearly a century of building dates, one small footprint
Construction here started in 1925, and the most recent home on record was built in 2024 — a spread of building eras rarely found under one community name. With a median year built of 1955, the center of gravity is squarely older housing stock, but the full range confirms this isn't a frozen-in-time pocket: infill and rebuilds have continued alongside it.
At a median of 1,222.5 square feet of living space, homes in Hollyford run smaller than what buyers typically find in newer Duval subdivisions built to a single, more recent code era. Add in the ownership pattern — only 38.5% of the 88 homes carry a homestead exemption — and the picture is a neighborhood shaped more by individual owners and investors making one-off decisions than by a single builder or HOA. There are no shared community amenities identified in current MLS listings, which keeps carrying costs and expectations tied strictly to the home itself.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hollyford. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A community built out across a 1925-to-2024 range of construction dates, with no HOA amenities and a mixed owner/non-owner base, doesn't come with clean, apples-to-apples comps — each of the 88 homes needs to be evaluated on its own build year, condition, and lot rather than a subdivision template. That's the kind of house-by-house due diligence Momentum does, rather than reading off a generic community sheet.
