Plantation South is a small, built-out pocket of 186 homes in Jacksonville (Duval County), almost all dating to 1986-2000, with a median living area of 2,739 sqft. That combination of an established build era and larger floor plans is what anchors the median price at $530,000, working out to $215.51 per square foot. With a 93% homestead-exemption share, this reads as a community of long-tenured owner-occupants rather than one that turns over through frequent resale or investor churn, which keeps supply naturally thin.
The current posture is quiet: active listings sit at zero as of 2026-07-14, and the trailing sample is just four closings, with those homes taking a median of about 28.5 days to sell. Prices are down 2.8% year over year on that small sample, and the market-heat score of 38 reads on the cooler side. For a seller, an empty active inventory means no on-market competition the moment you list, but the year-over-year dip argues for pricing off condition rather than assuming appreciation. For a buyer, there is little to shop from right now, so this is a community to watch and move on quickly once something surfaces.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
Plantation South right now
🟡 Balanced market. 4.0 months of supply and 0% of the inventory already under contract put buyers and sellers on roughly even footing.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 18, 2026. Confidence: Low (1 active and pending listings, 3 closed sales in 12 months).
🟡 Still climbing. The trailing-12-month median ($560K) is up 6.7% from the prior 12 months ($525K). With about 6 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 October 18. Confidence: Low (3 and 7 sales in the two windows).

Who Plantation South is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting an established, built-out subdivision from the 1986-2000 build era with larger square footage over new construction.
- Buyers or sellers comfortable pricing off condition and a median-price benchmark rather than a range of recent comparable listings.
- Sellers who want to list into a market with no current active competition.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want several active listings to compare before making a decision, since there are currently none.
- Buyers seeking newer construction outside the 1986-2000 build era that defines this community.
- Sellers expecting appreciation, given the median price is down 2.8% year over year on a thin closing sample.

The Plantation South buying strategy.
If we were buying in Plantation South 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 Plantation South.
A thin-supply, established 1986-2000 pocket
The housing stock here is consistent by age: built mostly between 1986 and 2000, with a median year built of 1989 and a median living area of 2,739 sqft. That points to larger, established homes rather than a mix of new construction and older infill, and it is a meaningful part of what supports the $530,000 median price and $215.51 median price per square foot. With only 186 homes in the community, small shifts in what closes can move the numbers more than they would in a larger subdivision.
Trading activity is genuinely light right now: zero active listings as of 2026-07-14, a trailing window of just four closings, and a median 28.5 days on market when homes do sell. Year-over-year, the median has softened 2.8% on that small sample. A 93% homestead-exemption share suggests most owners occupy rather than rent out or flip, which is consistent with the low current supply. The community-reported amenity is security lighting; buyers and sellers should verify current amenities and access details directly with the HOA.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Plantation South. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
