Jon's Read · written July 14, 2026

Ortega Farms is a thin-inventory pocket of Jacksonville: as of 2026-07-11 there is exactly 1 active listing against 115 closings in the window, so pricing here gets set by whoever happens to be transacting, not by a broad set of comparable homes on the market at once. The median sale price of $258,000 (about $173.84 per square foot) is the clearest read available, and with supply this tight, sellers who do list are working from a position of leverage while buyers have very little to compare against.

Days on market sit at a median of 50, which is not fast, but in a market with almost nothing listed at any given moment that pace says more about how rarely homes come up than about weak demand. Prices are essentially flat year over year at 0.4%, though the longer view tells a different story: values here are up 94% since 2012. For sellers, that combination argues for pricing carefully off the last real comp rather than assuming momentum; for buyers, it means patience and being ready to move when something does hit the market.

Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Ortega Farms right now

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 29.0 months of supply and 28% of the inventory already under contract give buyers above-average negotiating leverage.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 October 20, 2026.

The 60-Second Overview

Ortega Farms market snapshot (as of October 20, 2026): the median sale price is about $270K ($172 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 39 days on market for closed sales, and 29.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market. The trailing-12-month median is up 5% from the prior 12 months and up 116% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (107 closings in the current window).

In ZIP 32244 (Jacksonville), 818 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $268K ($167/sq ft), up 0.7% year over year, with a median 40 days on market. Right now 178 active and 71 pending listings put supply at about 9.2 months — a balanced market. See the live ZIP 32244 housing market and the Duval County market.

County records show 34 qualified sales in Ortega Farms across 2024–2025 (22 in 2024, 12 in 2025), median $382,500 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Flood zones in Ortega Farms: of 41 listing addresses checked against the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, 100% sit outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone X). Individual parcels vary - verify any specific address at msc.fema.gov. See flood zones by neighborhood in Jacksonville.

Ortega Farms is a community of 637 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1909 and 2024 (median 1959), with a median living area of about 2,452 square feet. 75% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Ortega Farms sits in Duval County within Jacksonville, and the numbers describe a small, low-turnover corner of the local market rather than a high-volume subdivision with listings coming and going every week.

Best for

  • A buyer targeting a purchase price near the $258,000 median who is willing to wait for the right listing to appear.
  • A seller comfortable pricing off recent closing data rather than a wide field of active competitors.
  • A buyer or seller who wants one point of contact watching this specific market for new activity rather than checking public listings alone.

Probably not for

  • A buyer who wants to tour multiple active listings and compare options side by side this week.
  • A buyer needing a quick closing timeline, given the market's median time to close of 50 days.
  • A seller expecting rapid year-over-year price gains given the current flat 0.4% annual change.

    School Board to weigh surplus designation for Ortega Elementary

    The Duval County School Board was set to vote on adding Ortega Elementary to the district surplus property list, a step toward selling the century old building. District officials say Ortega students would consolidate into a rebuilt Venetia Elementary planned to open in 2028 with 1,200 student stations. Some parents questioned the process and the size of the replacement school.

    What it may mean for the marketThe proposed consolidation and rebuild could shift school capacity and attendance zoning in the area over the next few years.

If we were buying in Ortega Farms 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

Use your leverage. With inventory sitting, there is room to negotiate on anything dated or overpriced and to ask for repairs or a rate buydown.

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 Ortega Farms.

Best Buy
Buyers and sellers focused specifically on Ortega Farms who can act quickly when a home surfaces.
Biggest Risk
With just 1 active listing, there is little live inventory to compare against.
Sweet Spot
A buyer or seller working near the $258,000 median who is not in a rush to transact this month.
Avoid If
You need a wide selection of homes to compare right now rather than waiting for the next listing.

A market defined by scarcity, not speed

The single most important number in this snapshot is the active listing count: 1. Against 115 closings recorded in the window, that ratio means most of the activity here happens through homes that never spend much time visibly "on the market" in the way buyers expect elsewhere. The median price of $258,000, and price per square foot of $173.84, are useful benchmarks, but with so little currently listed they should be treated as a reference point from recent closings rather than a live asking-price signal.

The market heat score for Ortega Farms currently reads 34, and the 50-day median time to close is consistent with a market that moves in a measured, deliberate way rather than a bidding-war pace. What stands out more is the long arc: prices up 94% since 2012 against a flat 0.4% year-over-year change. That is a market that has already done most of its moving, and is now holding, at least for the moment.

What it really costs to own in Ortega Farms

The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.

Property taxCurrent owners' bills run a median of $4,446/yr across 11 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-10-20). Buy at today's median asking price of $339,900 and the first-year bill resets to about $5,300 with homestead (Duval County total millage 17.865 mills, FY2025-26, Duval County Property Appraiser 2025 final millage chart; Duval County School Board FY2025-26 adopted millage); municipal and district millage vary within the county.
Home and flood insuranceThe average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Duval County is $1,315/yr (2,001 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. Flood: of 41 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100% sit outside the high-risk zone. Statewide, a Zone X flood policy runs about $500-$700/yr and a high-risk zone $1,200-$2,500/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not quotes).
Roof and ageMedian build year 1956 across 12 listings. An original roof here would be about 70 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails.
