Holmesdale's numbers are shaped by age and footprint, not amenities. The median home here was built in 1949, with the built stock spanning 1930 to 2021, and a median living area of 1,296.5 square feet — modest homes that produce a median price per square foot of $115.92 against a median sale price of $148,250. That combination points to a market where value sits in the land and the location rather than newer construction or larger square footage.
The current posture is thin. There are zero active listings right now, and only 4 closings inside the tracked window, against a median 61 days on market and a market heat score of 54. Prices are still moving — up 9.9% year over year and up 701% since 2012 — but with homestead exemptions filed on just 39.2% of the 152 homes here, a large share of this inventory is not owner-occupied primary residences, which can make comps behave differently than in a purely owner-occupied pocket.
Figures in this note are as of July 15, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
Holmesdale right now
🟡 Balanced market. 6.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.Why it matters: months of supply is how long today's inventory would last at today's sales pace; under-contract share is the portion of homes for sale that already have a buyer.Momentum Research analysis of realMLS records, as of October 23, 2026. Confidence: Medium (2 active and pending listings, 4 closed sales in 12 months).
What's unique here: the median sale price is about 52% below the typical Duval County sale ($148K vs $311K, trailing 12 months, realMLS records).

Who Holmesdale is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with a budget near the median $148,250 price point looking for an established, lower-cost entry into Duval County.
- Renovators or investors comfortable with older housing stock, where the median build year is 1949 and homes range from 1930 to 2021.
- Buyers willing to work off-market or wait for opportunity, given that active listings currently sit at zero.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a wide active inventory to compare today — there are no active listings in Holmesdale right now.
- Buyers seeking predominantly newer construction, since the median build year is 1949 within a 1930-2021 range.
- Buyers relying on built-in community amenities, since none are identified from current MLS listings.

The Holmesdale buying strategy.
If we were buying in Holmesdale 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 Holmesdale.
Thin Inventory, Deep History
The long-run number in Holmesdale is the one that stands out: prices are up 701% since 2012, and still climbing at 9.9% year over year, against a median sale price of $148,250 and a median $115.92 per square foot. That is a steep, sustained climb for a community where the median home was built in 1949 and the built stock overall ranges from 1930 to 2021 — this is appreciation on older housing stock, not on new construction.
The mechanics behind that trend are worth understanding before you act on it. There are zero active listings as of this snapshot, and the tracked window shows only 4 closings, with a median 61 days on market and a market heat score of 54. With homestead exemptions on just 39.2% of the 152 homes, a meaningful portion of activity here likely runs through non-owner-occupied hands, and no community amenities are identified from current MLS records — so the story is the transaction data itself, not a listed amenity package.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Holmesdale. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Holmesdale buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (6.3). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +493% since 2012; Liquidity & Demand 6.0 months of supply; Owner Commitment 40% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 95.6% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
A market with zero active listings and only 4 tracked closings does not give you much to compare against on your own. Reading it well means tracing the 701% run since 2012 and the 9.9% year-over-year move against a median build year of 1949 and 1,296.5 square feet of median living space, then translating that into what a specific home is actually worth today — and knowing where off-market opportunity might surface before it ever reaches an active listing count of zero.

What it really costs to own in Holmesdale
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | Current owners' bills run a median of $2,259/yr across 3 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-10-24). |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Duval County is $1,315/yr (2,001 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1950 across 4 listings. An original roof here would be about 76 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails. |
