Hood Landing
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Over the 12 months ending 2026-09-12, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $465,000, $242 per square foot, a median 4 days on market, sellers accepting 100% of original asking. At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $8,310 ($7,570 with the full homestead exemption).
Price here is driven by condition and lot far more than by a single product type. With a median build year of 1978 and homes dating back as far as 1926 alongside construction as recent as 2024, you are looking at a market where two houses of similar size can trade at very different numbers depending on how much work has been done. Expect a wide spread and few clean comps.
The posture is one of long-term ownership. At roughly an 80% homestead share, most of these homes are lived in rather than rented or flipped, which tends to keep turnover measured and inventory tight. For a buyer, that means patience and readiness to move on the right house; for a seller, it means condition and honest pricing carry the day more than momentum in the wider market.
The 60-Second Overview
Hood Landing market snapshot (as of September 12, 2026): the median sale price is about $465K ($242 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 4 days on market for closed sales.
Hood Landing is an established, owner-occupied pocket of southern Duval County where a median living area just over 2,000 square feet and a build span of nearly a century mean you are buying a specific house on a specific lot, not a uniform subdivision product.
Who Hood Landing is best for.
Best for
- Long-term owner-occupants who plan to stay and are not chasing a quick resale
- Buyers with a renovation budget who want to buy on condition and add value themselves
- Those prioritizing an established southern Duval location over new-build sameness
Probably not for
- Buyers who want newer construction and current-code systems with minimal work
- Investors relying on high turnover and easy rental supply in a heavily owner-occupied area
- Anyone needing tight, predictable comps to justify financing at a fixed number

The Hood Landing buying strategy.
If we were buying in Hood Landing 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 Hood Landing.
An established area, not a fresh subdivision
The defining fact here is age and variety. A median year built of 1978, with the oldest homes going back to 1926 and the newest completed in 2024, tells you this area filled in over decades rather than all at once. That means varied architecture, varied lot sizes, and varied levels of updating. Do your homework on each individual property, because the label of the community will not tell you what you are getting behind the walls.
Size sits in a practical middle at a median of about 2,036 square feet across 512 homes. That is enough footprint for most buyers without being oversized, but the real question is condition. On homes of this vintage, budget for the possibility of systems, roofs, and layouts that reflect their era, and price your offer to the work required rather than to the nicest house on the street.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Hood Landing. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A market this varied rewards someone who reads condition, vintage, and lot before quoting a number. We walk each property on its own terms, weigh the cost of updates against the median, and keep you from overpaying for someone else's deferred maintenance or underbidding a genuinely renovated home. In a low-turnover, owner-occupied area, being ready with a clear, defensible offer matters more than casting a wide net.
