Transcript
St. Nicholas, in Jacksonville, is a Duval County community where the median sold price over the last 12 months is 330,000 dollars, and homes take a median of 27 days to sell. Here's what that means if you're watching this one.
St. Nicholas has about 220 homes, built between 1924 and 2014, in Jacksonville, in Duval County. Over the last 10 years it has averaged about 31 sales a year, and 23 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, 23 homes sold at a median of 330,000 dollars. That's 249 dollars a square foot, matching its 2026 peak, at 93 percent of asking. Right now 8 homes are listed and 3 are pending.
27 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 93 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. Check the FEMA flood map by address, and get insurance quoted by address.

St Nicholas' pricing is driven less by size than by age and condition. The typical home here was built in 1948, with the built stock spanning from as far back as 1882 to as recent as 2024, and the median living area runs about 1,543 square feet. At a median price of $337,000 and $247.24 per square foot, an older, unrenovated home and a newer or fully updated one can land in very different places even though they average out to the same headline number.
Right now there is essentially no inventory to shop against — a single active listing set against 22 closings over the recent window — and homes that do come up are moving in about 10 days. The median price is down 22.9% year over year, a pullback worth noting against the 238% cumulative gain since 2012; sellers should read the recent dip as a normalization after a long run-up rather than a trend line, and buyers should expect to compete for whatever does list.
Figures in this note are as of July 14, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.

Who St Nicholas is best for.
Best for
- Buyers targeting an established, older-stock Jacksonville address who are willing to move quickly once a home lists.
- Sellers of updated or renovated homes near the $337,000 median who want to test a market with almost no competing inventory.
- Buyers comfortable evaluating a home on its individual renovation history rather than comparing it against a wide pool of active listings.
Probably not for
- Buyers who want to compare several active listings side by side before deciding — there is currently just 1 to see.
- Buyers on a tight timeline who cannot move within roughly the 10-day median days-on-market window once something lists.
- Sellers expecting to price purely off last year's numbers, given the 22.9% year-over-year pullback in median price.

The St Nicholas buying strategy.
If we were buying in St Nicholas 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 St Nicholas.
A market with almost nothing on the shelf
2,200 homes make up St Nicholas, with a build history that stretches from 1882 to 2024 and a median year built of 1948 — meaning most of the stock predates modern construction standards and pricing tends to track renovation state as much as square footage. Median living area sits at 1,543 square feet, and the market heat score of 56 points to a moderately active, not overheated, footing.
Inventory is the story right now: just 1 active listing against 22 closings in the recent window leaves very little for a buyer to choose from, and the 10-day median days-on-market confirms that what does list does not sit. About 59.6% of homes carry a homestead exemption, consistent with a market where a majority of properties are filed under the primary-residence tax status rather than held as non-homesteaded property.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in St Nicholas. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
