Laurel Terrace
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Price here is set almost entirely by the housing stock itself. Homes span construction years from 1904 to 2024, with a median year built of 1951 and a median living area of just 1,230 square feet, and that combination lands the median price at $159,725 and the price per square foot at $151.65 — both well below what most Momentum-tracked Duval County communities are posting. This is an entry-level value pocket, not a move-up market, and the pricing reflects smaller, older homes rather than any single defect.
Current activity is thin: zero active listings and only 3 closings in the trailing window, so there is very little live inventory to price against right now. That thinness sits alongside a striking appreciation story — values are up 18.3% year over year and 741% since 2012 — even though the market heat score reads a cool 28. For a seller, that combination argues for patience and a well-documented comparable set rather than an aggressive list price; for a buyer, it means acting decisively when something does list, since there is little competing supply to fall back on.

🟡 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 August 19, 2026.

The 60-Second Overview
Laurel Terrace is a long-established Jacksonville community of 382 homes where the story is the housing stock itself — a wide span of construction years, modest square footage, and pricing well under typical Northeast Florida norms, with a homestead share of 36.3% pointing to a meaningful share of non-owner-occupied properties in the mix.

Who Laurel Terrace is best for.
Best for
- Buyers working with a tighter budget who want the lowest entry price point available in the area.
- Buyers open to an older home and willing to evaluate condition and renovation history closely given the 1904-to-2024 build range.
- Investors or long-horizon buyers comfortable with a 36.3% homestead share and a market that has shown a 741% run since 2012.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want a wide selection to choose from right now — there are zero active listings at present.
- Buyers who need consistent, recently built construction rather than a mixed-vintage stock.
- Buyers prioritizing shared community amenities, since none are identified in current MLS listings.

The Laurel Terrace buying strategy.
If we were buying in Laurel Terrace 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 Laurel Terrace.
A value pocket with an outsized appreciation run
The 382 homes in Laurel Terrace were built across a full century, from 1904 to 2024, with a median year built of 1951 and a median living area of 1,230 square feet. No community amenities are identified in current MLS listings, so the draw here is the homes and their price point, not shared facilities. At a median price of $159,725 and $151.65 per square foot, this remains one of the more affordable places Momentum tracks in Duval County.
The market posture right now is unusually thin: zero active listings and only 3 closings in the trailing window, with a median 69 days on market for the homes that did move. Despite that thinness, the appreciation trend is substantial — 18.3% year over year and 741% since 2012 — while the market heat score sits at a comparatively cool 28. A homestead share of 36.3% indicates a meaningful portion of the stock is not owner-occupied, which is worth factoring into any pricing or offer strategy.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Laurel Terrace. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
With zero active listings and only 3 closings in the trailing window, there is not much public data to lean on — pricing a home well in Laurel Terrace means reading a build stock that ranges from 1904 to 2024 and reconciling that against a 741% run since 2012 and an 18.3% year-over-year move, without overreacting to either the thin supply or the cool 28 heat score. Momentum's local, deal-level knowledge of this pocket is what turns that scattered data into a defensible number, whether you are listing or making an offer.
