As of September 2026, the MLS records 15 closed sales in Homestead Villas in Jacksonville, FL since 2006, the most recent in December 2025. 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 $5,460 ($4,720 with the full homestead exemption).
Homestead Villas is a small, older pocket of Jacksonville — 42 homes with a median build year of 1926 and a footprint that runs to a modest 1,220 median living square feet. In a market this old and this compact, price is driven almost entirely by condition and by what a given owner has done to the structure over the last century. The build range stretches from 1915 all the way to 2024, so you are looking at a genuine mix: original early-century houses sitting near the occasional new-construction infill. That spread means comps are noisy and each home has to be underwritten on its own merits.
For buyers, the takeaway is to inspect hard and budget for the systems that older homes hide — this is not a place where you assume every house behind the same street sign is comparable. For sellers, condition and honest presentation are the levers; a well-renovated home here stands apart precisely because the housing stock is old and uneven. With a homestead share of 37%, a majority of these homes are not owner-occupied, which usually points to a meaningful investor and rental presence in the mix.
The 60-Second Overview
This is a small, century-old enclave in Duval County where the homes are compact and the ages vary widely — from 1915-era originals to brand-new 2024 builds — so no two transactions look quite alike.

The Homestead Villas buying strategy.
If we were buying in Homestead Villas 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 Homestead Villas.
An old, uneven housing stock
The median home here dates to 1926 and measures around 1,220 square feet — small and old by any measure. The value story is condition, not square footage or a single price band. A 1920s house that has been fully updated and one that has not can trade very differently, and with only 42 homes total, a couple of renovated sales can move the read considerably.
The presence of new construction as recent as 2024 tells you infill is happening, but it is the exception, not the rule. Buyers should treat this as a renovation-and-character market: expect to evaluate roofs, plumbing, electrical, and foundation on a house-by-house basis rather than lean on neighborhood-wide assumptions. With owner-occupancy at 37%, turnover and rental activity are likely a real part of the picture.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Homestead Villas. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a 42-home enclave where age and condition swing this widely, generic pricing tools break down. We underwrite each home individually — walking the systems, weighing the renovation history, and reading the thin, noisy comp set for what it actually says. That discipline is how you avoid overpaying on this street and how a seller gets credit for real work done.
