True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
As of October 2026, the MLS records 29 closed sales in Russell in Jacksonville, FL since 2007, the most recent in May 2026. Across Jacksonville as a whole, 8,268 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $311,134, 43 median days on market, with 2,422 homes for sale today. At that median and Duval County's FY2025-26 rate of 17.86 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,560 ($4,820 with the full homestead exemption).
Russell sits at the edge of Jacksonville in Duval County, and the honest starting point is that our closings window here is thin — only two closings inform this snapshot. That means price is driven far more by the condition and specifics of the individual home than by any settled market rate. Treat comps as a conversation starter, not a rule.
With so few recent transactions, both sides need to lean on the property itself. For a seller, that puts the burden on preparation and presentation to define value. For a buyer, it means you are pricing a house, not a market — do your own diligence and don't assume the last close tells you what the next one is worth.

The 60-Second Overview

Who Russell is best for.
Best for
- Buyers who will underwrite a specific house on its condition rather than lean on neighborhood averages
- Sellers willing to invest in presentation to define value in a low-comp setting
- Patient buyers who value limited competition over abundant inventory
Probably not for
- Buyers who need a large set of recent comps to feel confident on price
- Anyone on a rigid timeline who can't wait for the right listing to surface
- Sellers expecting a firm, market-driven number without regard to the home's condition

The Russell buying strategy.
If we were buying in Russell 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 Russell.
A thin-data market
The defining feature of Russell right now is the volume of evidence, not the direction of it. A two-closing window is not enough to draw a trend line, so anyone quoting you a firm per-foot number or a confident price direction is guessing. The responsible read is qualitative: value here is condition-driven and property-specific.
That is not a knock on the community — it is a reason to slow down and underwrite carefully. When comps are sparse, an appraisal can swing on a single data point, and a home that shows well can command a premium that a tired one nearby will not. Know which one you are looking at before you commit.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Russell. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
In a low-volume market like Russell, the value we add is judgment, not just data. We will walk the actual house, weigh its condition against the limited comps honestly, and tell you plainly when the numbers don't support the price — on either side of the deal.
