Transcript
Southside Estates, in Jacksonville, is a Duval County community where the median sold price is 255,000 dollars, down 1 point 9 percent, and homes take a median of 36 days to sell. Here's what that means if you're watching this one.
Southside Estates has about 866 homes, built between 1916 and 2024, in Jacksonville, in Duval County. Over the last 10 years it has averaged about 64 sales a year, and 66 homes sold in the last 12 months. Every number in this video comes from the community page at move with momentum dot com, from realMLS and public records.
In the last 12 months, 66 homes sold at a median of 255,000 dollars, down 1 point 9 percent on 66 sales against 63. That's 184 dollars a square foot, below a 2024 peak of 209, at 95 point 3 percent of asking. Right now 17 homes are listed and 7 are pending.
29 percent of homes here are under contract, against 26 percent across Duval County, which typically means about the same competition for the homes that list. That's typical, not a promise. Homes here have sold at 95 point 3 percent of asking, against 96 point 2 percent for the county, so compare each home to recent closings, not to asking prices. Verify whether an HOA or a CDD applies.
Ask for the current tax bill, and remember that Florida resets the assessed value after a sale, so the seller's bill usually isn't what you'll pay. Ask whether there are HOA dues and what they cover, and whether a CDD assessment applies. Of 29 listing addresses checked against the FEMA flood map, 100 percent sit outside the high-risk zone; still check the map by address, and get insurance quoted by address.

Southside Estates is an established Duval County neighborhood, not a new-construction community: 2,488 homes span construction years from 1916 to 2024, with a median build year of 1952 and a median living area of 1,374 square feet. That age spread is what actually sets price here — condition and updates on an older housing stock, not lot premiums on fresh product, at a median of $237,372, or roughly $177 per square foot.
The current posture is tight and cooling at the same time. There are zero active listings right now, against 66 closings in the recent window and a median 32 days on market for homes that do sell. Price is down 5.1% year over year, though still up 469% since 2012, and the market heat score sits at 31 — a read that favors patient, prepared buyers over anyone expecting to shop a wide active pool today.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Who Southside Estates is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting a below-median Duval County entry point, with a current median price of $237,372.
- Buyers comfortable evaluating homes individually across a wide range of construction years (1916 to 2024) rather than assuming uniform build quality.
- Patient buyers who can wait for inventory to surface, given zero active listings and a median 32 days on market once a home does list.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need new-construction systems and finishes without renovation risk, given a median build year of 1952.
- Sellers expecting the price growth of the 2012-era run to continue uninterrupted; price is down 5.1% year over year.
- Buyers who need to purchase immediately — with zero active listings, there is nothing currently on the market here.

JEA advances about $690 million in infrastructure projects including Fulton Cut transmission line raise near JAXPORT

The Southside Estates buying strategy.
If we were buying in Southside Estates 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 Southside Estates.
A Post-War Footprint With Almost No Active Inventory
With a median year built of 1952 and homes on the ground dating as far back as 1916 through as recent as 2024, Southside Estates is a mixed-vintage community rather than a single-era subdivision. At a median living area of 1,374 square feet and roughly $177 per square foot, the math here rewards buyers who evaluate each home on its own condition and updates rather than assuming a uniform build quality across the neighborhood.
The bigger signal right now is availability, not price. Zero active listings against 66 closings in the recent window means turnover is happening, but nothing is currently sitting on the market to walk through. A market heat score of 31 and a median 32 days on market for homes that do sell describe a community that has cooled from its 469% run since 2012 — down 5.1% year over year — without inventory opening up to match.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Southside Estates. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.

Composite is the plain average of the 5 factors (7.5). Basis: Long-Term Appreciation +507% since 2012; Recent Direction +2.0% year-over-year; Liquidity & Demand 1.8 months of supply; Owner Commitment 55% owner-occupied; Pricing Power 95.8% sale-to-list.

Why work with Momentum here
A community built out across more than a century of construction years needs someone who will walk a specific home's condition and updates against its vintage, not lean on a neighborhood-wide average. With zero active listings at the moment, getting in front of a Southside Estates listing before it's publicly available is largely a matter of relationships and timing — that's where we spend our effort.
