Jon's Current Read

Marsh Sound's pricing is set by a small, tightly held inventory: with only 2 active listings and 191 homes total, most of the pricing signal comes from the 8 closings in the tracked window, at a $592,000 median and $286.05 per square foot. Homes here run larger than a typical infill lot — a median 2,601 square feet — and were mostly built between 1990 and 2005 (median year built 1996), so buyers are paying for square footage and age-appropriate systems rather than new construction.

With 3.0 months of supply, this reads as a balanced market (heat score 56) rather than a seller's sprint: the median 19 days on market says well-priced homes still move quickly, but there isn't the bidding-war pressure of a tighter segment. Appreciation has been modest and steady — up 1.6% year over year, and 152% since 2012 — which favors sellers with time to wait for the right offer and buyers who aren't trying to time a spike.

Marsh Sound right now

🔴 Seller-leaning market. 1.8 months of supply and 33% of the inventory already under contract give sellers the pressure advantage.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 September 22, 2026. Confidence: High (3 active and pending listings, 13 closed sales in 12 months).

🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($615K) is up 2.1% from the prior 12 months ($602K) and up 162% since 2012. With about a dozen sales a year, a single closing can swing this number, so read the level and the decade, not one year's move.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending September 22.

The 60-Second Overview

Marsh Sound market snapshot (as of September 22, 2026): the median sale price is about $615K ($275 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 17 days on market for closed sales, and 1.8 months of supply, a seller-leaning market. The trailing-12-month median is up 2% from the prior 12 months and up 162% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (13 closings in the current window).

In ZIP 32224 (Jacksonville), 1,022 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $475K ($249/sq ft), down 4.8% year over year, with a median 39 days on market. Right now 156 active and 112 pending listings put supply at about 2.4 months — a healthy market. See the live ZIP 32224 housing market and the Duval County market.

County records show 10 qualified sales in Marsh Sound across 2024–2025 (6 in 2024, 4 in 2025), median $590,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Flood zones in Marsh Sound: of 14 listing addresses checked against the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, 93% sit outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone X); 7% are in an A-series high-risk zone where flood insurance is required with a federally backed mortgage. Individual parcels vary — verify any specific address at msc.fema.gov. See flood zones by neighborhood in Jacksonville.

Marsh Sound is a community of 158 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1990 and 2005 (median 1996.0), with a median living area of about 2,570 square feet. 90% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Marsh Sound is a lower-turnover Duval County community where price is driven less by bidding wars and more by the size and condition of the individual home.

Best for

  • Buyers who want an established home with more square footage than new construction typically offers
  • Sellers comfortable pricing off a small set of recent closings rather than a deep pool of active comparables
  • Buyers looking for a community with shared amenities like a pool, clubhouse, and playground already in place

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want to tour a wide range of active listings before narrowing down
  • Buyers hoping for new-construction systems and finishes, since most homes here were built 1990-2005
  • Investors expecting high rental turnover — the homestead exemption share suggests most homes are owner-occupied

If we were buying in Marsh Sound today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.

1

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.

2

Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.

3

Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.

4

Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.

5

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.

Best Buy
Buyers and sellers who want a low-inventory, established Duval County community rather than new construction.
Biggest Risk
Only 2 active listings means limited choice and thin comparables for pricing.
Sweet Spot
Buyers targeting a median-sized home near 2,601 square feet built in the 1990s to mid-2000s.
Avoid If
You need to compare several homes side by side before deciding — there isn't much active inventory to choose from.

What the numbers say about Marsh Sound

The scarcity here is real: 2 active listings against 191 total homes means most shoppers won't have much to compare side by side, and the 8 closings behind this snapshot is a small enough sample that any single sale can move the median. That's consistent with a 3.0-month supply reading and a balanced market label — not enough listings to call it a buyer's market, not enough urgency to call it a seller's market either.

About 89.5% of homes carry a homestead exemption, pointing to a high share of owner-occupied properties rather than rental or investment holdings. The community's shared amenities — reported across MLS listings as a playground, pool, clubhouse, park, and children's pool, with off-site management and grounds maintenance included — are worth confirming directly with the HOA, since access and condition can shift over time.

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.

Why work with Momentum here

In a community this thin on active inventory, the closed-sale history matters more than the listing sheet in front of you — we track the 8 recent closings, the $286.05 per-square-foot median, and the pace of the 19-day median days-on-market to help you price a new listing or size an offer accurately, rather than guessing off two comparables.
