Jon's Current Read

Panama Park's price story starts with the housing stock itself: a median build year of 1942 (homes here range from 1897 to 2024) and a median living area of 1,344 square feet. That combination of older construction and modest square footage is why the median sale price of $141,250 works out to roughly $119.98 per square foot, one of the more accessible price points in the broader Jacksonville market. Prices have still moved: up 9.1% year-over-year and up 443% since 2012, a long climb built on 28 recent closings, a modest sample that argues for pricing each home on its own condition rather than the average.

Right now the posture favors buyers. Inventory sits at just 14 active listings against a base of 2,906 homes, but 6.2 months of supply and a median 38.5 days on market put this in buyer-leaning territory. Sellers should expect more negotiation and a longer marketing window than a seller's market would allow, and buyers have room to be selective on condition and terms rather than compete against multiple offers.

Panama Park right now

🟢 Buyer-leaning market. 6.2 months of supply and 26% 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 July 14, 2026. Confidence: Very High (19 active and pending listings, 28 closed sales in 12 months).

🟢 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($141K) is up 9.1% from the prior 12 months ($130K) and up 443% since 2012.Momentum Research, record-level realMLS closed sales, 12-month windows ending July 14. Confidence: High (28 and 29 sales in the two windows).

What's unique here: the median sale price is about 54% below the typical Duval County sale ($141K vs $310K, trailing 12 months, realMLS records).

The 60-Second Overview

Panama Park market snapshot (as of July 14, 2026): the median sale price is about $141K ($120 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 39 days on market for closed sales, and 6.2 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market. The trailing-12-month median is up 9% from the prior 12 months and up 443% since 2012, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (28 closings in the current window).

Panama Park is a community of 2,906 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1897 and 2024 (median 1942.0), with a median living area of about 1,344 square feet. 42% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

Panama Park is an established Duval County community in Jacksonville built out mostly in the early-to-mid 20th century, with construction continuing in pockets up through 2024. Listed amenities include fishing access and 24-hour security, though buyers should confirm current availability and any access rules directly with the HOA.

Best for

  • Buyers prioritizing affordability over square footage, comfortable near the $141,250 median price point.
  • Buyers willing to budget for updates or repairs on an older home, given the median build year of 1942.
  • Buyers who want negotiating room and can tolerate a longer search, given 6.2 months of supply and a 38.5-day median market time.

Probably not for

  • Buyers who require new or newer construction rather than a mix spanning 1897 to 2024.
  • Buyers expecting a fast-moving, multiple-offer market, since a market heat score of 36 suggests otherwise.
  • Buyers who need a larger floor plan than the 1,344-square-foot median living area.

If we were buying in Panama Park 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 Panama Park.

Best Buy
Buyers looking for an affordable, in-town Duval County home who are comfortable with older construction.
Biggest Risk
Older housing stock is the main risk, with a median build year of 1942 making inspection and condition review essential.
Sweet Spot
Compact, established homes near the median 1,344 square feet at a median price of $141,250.
Avoid If
You need new construction or a fast, competitive-offer transaction, since this market currently moves slowly.

What's Actually Driving Panama Park's Numbers

The math here is straightforward: a median build year of 1942 means most of the housing stock predates modern construction standards, and at 1,344 square feet median living area, these are compact homes by current standards. That's the backdrop for a $141,250 median price and $119.98 per square foot, value tied more to age, condition, and lot than to square footage alone. About 42.1% of homes carry a homestead exemption, meaning a meaningful share of this stock is owner-occupied rather than held purely as rental or investment property.

Supply is thin in absolute terms, 14 active listings out of 2,906 homes, but 6.2 months of supply still lands this market in buyer-leaning territory, and a market heat score of 36 backs that up: this isn't a market where listings move quickly or command premiums. A median 38.5 days on market gives buyers time to evaluate a property rather than being rushed, and it means sellers need pricing and presentation to do real work rather than relying on scarcity.

The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Panama Park. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Why work with Momentum here

Momentum's agents price against the actual vintage and condition of a home rather than a generic per-square-foot number, and negotiate accordingly in a market that is currently favoring buyers.
