Over the 12 months ending 2026-10-01, 3 recorded sales closed at a median of $890,000, $517 per square foot, a median 54 days on market, sellers accepting 93% of original asking (+8% versus the prior year). Homes listed or recently sold were built 1986–1994; 3 of 3 report an HOA (median $17/mo); none of the 3 geocoded homes sit in a FEMA special flood hazard zone (median elevation 12 ft). At the median price and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $15,900 ($15,170 with the full homestead exemption).
Price here is driven by proximity to the beach and by condition, not by any single product type. With a housing stock that runs from 1920 to 2018 and a median build year of 1986, you are buying into a mix of original cottages, mid-life homes, and full rebuilds — and that spread is exactly why the median sits at $892,000 while individual outcomes swing hard on lot, renovation level, and how close you are to the water. Treat the median as a midpoint, not a menu.
The market posture is measured, not frantic. A median of just under 40 days on market and a heat score of 27 tell you buyers have time to inspect and negotiate rather than waving contingencies. Sellers still hold a strong position given the long-run run-up, but the pace rewards correct pricing over optimism. For buyers, this is a market where doing the homework on condition pays off.

The Neptune By The Sea buying strategy.
If we were buying in Neptune By The Sea 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 Neptune By The Sea.
A condition-driven beach market
With just 205 homes and a build range stretching nearly a century, this is not a place where two listings are truly comparable. The median living area of about 2,296 square feet and a median of $392 per square foot give you reference points, but the real variable is what has been done to the house. An untouched original and a studs-out renovation can sit blocks apart and price worlds apart.
The homestead share near 89% matters for supply. Owners here tend to stay, which keeps inventory thin and means the right listing does not linger. That scarcity, paired with the beach location, is the structural support under prices — up 14.4% year over year and 298% since 2012 — far more than any single amenity.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Neptune By The Sea. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Momentum Buy Score.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the factors that decide how a home in Neptune By The Sea buys, holds, and resells. Momentum Research; not an appraisal.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment on a 0 to 10 scale, built from the record-level market data on this page. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value and not advice on a specific home; unlike an automated value estimate they do not price your home, they grade the community on evidence you can inspect. Composite is the plain average of the 4 factors (8.1). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +294% since 2012; Recent Direction +7.9% year-over-year; Owner Commitment 89% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 93.3% sale-to-list. Refreshed with each data update.
Why work with Momentum here
In a market this small and this condition-sensitive, the median tells you almost nothing about the house in front of you. We underwrite each property on its own — age, renovation level, lot, and distance to the water — so you are not overpaying for a cosmetic flip or walking away from a solid rebuild because the sticker looks high. On the sell side, we price to the pace this market actually runs at, not to wishful comps.
