Marsh Sound
Homes for Sale in Jacksonville, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of September 2026, the MLS records 9 closed sales in Marsh Sound in Jacksonville, FL since 2005, the most recent in July 2020. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,811 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $310,000, 44 median days on market, with 2,375 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,540 ($4,800 with the full homestead exemption).
Marsh Sound II is a built-out enclave of 103 homes constructed between 1990 and 2005, with the typical house dating to 1997 and running around 2,620 square feet. That means the price story here is not about square footage tiers or new-construction premiums — the homes are broadly similar in vintage and size. What moves value is condition and updates: an original-systems 1990s house and a renovated one can sit far apart, and the spread reflects that rather than any range in the neighborhood's bones.
Roughly 92% of homes here are homesteaded, which tells you this is an owner-occupied, hold-for-the-long-run community rather than an investor churn. Turnover is limited, so inventory tends to be thin. For a buyer, that means patience and readiness to act when a well-kept listing appears. For a seller, it means comparable sales are sparse enough that presentation and condition do real work on your final number.
The 60-Second Overview
A mature, largely owner-occupied neighborhood in Jacksonville's Duval County, Marsh Sound II is fully built out with mid-1990s-era homes that skew larger than the metro norm at around 2,620 square feet.

The Marsh Sound buying strategy.
If we were buying in Marsh Sound 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 Marsh Sound.
A built-out 1990s community that trades on condition
With construction spanning 1990 to 2005 and a median build year of 1997, Marsh Sound II is past the new-build phase and into the update cycle. Buyers should expect to evaluate roofs, HVAC, water heaters, and kitchens and baths on a house-by-house basis. Two homes of nearly identical size can present very differently depending on how much of the original 1990s finish remains.
The high homestead share of about 92% shapes the trading pattern more than any single stat. This is a place people settle into, not flip, so listings are infrequent and the best-maintained ones tend to draw the most attention. If you want in, line up financing and inspection resources ahead of time; the window to act on a strong listing can be short.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Marsh Sound. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
