Market Heat
Palermo is a gated community of 129 homes in Jacksonville (Duval County), built mostly between 2006 and 2015 with a median year built of 2012 and a median living area of 3,360 square feet — larger, newer-built homes than much of the surrounding market. The median sale price is $835,000, or about $299 per square foot. With just 1 active listing against 129 total homes and 2.4 months of supply, this is a tight, low-volume market, which keeps it in seller-leaning territory (market heat score 46).
Over the last 6 closings tracked here, median time on market ran 41 days, and price is down 2.8% year over year — movement that's ordinary noise in a market this thin rather than a clear trend on its own. Since 2012, values here are up 85%, and a 90.7% homestead-exemption share points to owner-occupied homes carrying most of the market rather than investor or rental turnover.
Palermo right now
🔴 Seller-leaning market. 2.4 months of supply and 0% 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 July 14, 2026. Confidence: Medium (1 active and pending listings, 6 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($835K) is down 2.8% from the prior 12 months ($859K) and up 85% since 2012. With about 8 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 July 14. Confidence: Medium (6 and 9 sales in the two windows).
What's unique here: the median sale price is about 3x the typical Duval County sale ($835K vs $310K, trailing 12 months, realMLS records).

Palermo is a community of 129 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 2006 and 2015 (median 2012), with a median living area of about 3,360 square feet. 91% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Palermo pairs newer construction (built mostly 2006 to 2015) with a larger average footprint than much of the surrounding market, which does more to explain its price point than any single year's movement.

Who Palermo is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a larger home (median living area of 3,360 square feet) in a gated, amenity-rich setting
- Buyers comfortable moving fast in a low-inventory, seller-leaning market
- Buyers who prefer newer construction (median year built 2012) over older Jacksonville stock
Probably not for
- Buyers who want several active listings to compare before choosing — there is currently just 1
- Buyers with a firm ceiling below the community's $835,000 median and no flexibility
- Buyers who prioritize a fast-turnover, high-volume market over a low-volume, seller-leaning one

Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 14 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($835K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($859K) IS the -2.8% one-year change.

The Palermo buying strategy.
If we were buying in Palermo 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.
Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.
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 Palermo.
Scale and Scarcity
With only 1 active listing across 129 homes, Palermo trades in a tight, low-volume band; 2.4 months of supply keeps this market classified as seller-leaning even alongside a modest year-over-year pullback in price. At a median of 41 days on market across the last 6 closings tracked, homes here aren't sitting long, but the pool of sales at any given time is small enough that a single closing can move the median in either direction.
The gated community includes a clubhouse, fitness center, pool, and barbecue area, along with key-card entry, an entry phone/intercom, a security gate, and security lights, per amenities reported across this community's MLS listings; grounds maintenance is included. Buyers and their agents should confirm current amenities and access with the HOA, since MLS-reported features can lag changes at the community level.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Palermo. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

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 5 factors (6.8). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +85% since 2012; Recent Direction -2.8% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 2.4 months of supply; Owner Commitment 91% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 93.5% sale-to-list.
