Jon's Current Read

Six active listings against a base of roughly 260 homes puts The Cape at an 8-month supply as of 2026-07-14 — a buyer-leaning reading. That is a meaningfully longer runway than a tight market, which means sellers here need to price and present carefully rather than assume competing offers.

The housing stock is the other half of the story: a median year built of 1985 across homes ranging from 1967 to 2023, with a median living area of 2,152 square feet. That spread of vintages means condition, updates, and layout will separate the homes that move quickly from the ones that sit — buyers have real room to be selective.

The Cape right now

🔴 Seller-leaning market. 2.8 months of supply and 40% of the inventory already under contract give sellers the pressure advantage.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 10, 2026. Confidence: High (5 active and pending listings, 13 closed sales in 12 months).

🟡 Off the recent peak. The trailing-12-month median ($378K) is down 4.3% from the prior 12 months ($395K). With about a dozen 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 10.

The 60-Second Overview

The Cape market snapshot (as of October 10, 2026): the median sale price is about $378K ($191 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), a median 36 days on market for closed sales, and 2.8 months of supply, a seller-leaning market. The trailing-12-month median is down 4% from the prior 12 months, computed from record-level realMLS closed sales (13 closings in the current window).

In ZIP 32226 (Jacksonville), 207 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $382K ($191/sq ft), up 0.2% year over year, with a median 50 days on market. Right now 71 active and 24 pending listings put supply at about 5.2 months — a balanced market. See the live ZIP 32226 housing market and the Duval County market.

County records show 9 qualified sales in The Cape across 2024–2025 (5 in 2024, 4 in 2025), median $380,000 — the last recorded sale per parcel on the Florida DOR 2025 assessment roll, independent of the MLS.

Flood zones in The Cape: of 16 listing addresses checked against the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, 88% sit outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone X); 12% are in a V-series coastal high-hazard zone. Individual parcels vary - verify any specific address at msc.fema.gov. See flood zones by neighborhood in Jacksonville.

The Cape is a community of 247 homes in Jacksonville, Duval County, built between 1967 and 2023 (median 1985), with a median living area of about 2,152 square feet. 83% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).

The Cape is an established Duval County community in Jacksonville with roughly 260 homes spanning original 1967 construction through 2023-built homes, giving buyers a wide range of vintages to choose from in one neighborhood.

Best for

  • Buyers who want negotiating room and are comfortable evaluating homes built across a wide span of decades (1967–2023).
  • Buyers prioritizing more living space — the median home here runs 2,152 square feet — over a brand-new build.
  • Buyers planning to occupy the home themselves, consistent with the roughly 84% homestead-exemption share in this community.

Probably not for

  • Buyers who need a quick, low-competition sale — the current 8-month supply is not this community's strength for a fast turnaround as a seller.
  • Buyers wanting a fully modern build with no vintage-condition variation, given the 1967–2023 range of construction years.
  • Buyers relying on a long amenity list — reported community amenities here are limited to security lighting, per MLS records.

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

    JEA is moving forward with three water reclamation projects (Blacks Ford in northwest St. Johns County, over $220 million; near Jacksonville International Airport, about $193 million; East Arlington, just under $165 million) and the $117 million Fulton Cut transmission line clearance over the St. Johns River near Blount Island.

If we were buying in The Cape 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

Come strong and clean. Homes here move, so lead with your best terms and financing ready rather than a low anchor.

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 The Cape.

Best Buy
Buyers comfortable with a mix of decades-old and newer construction who want negotiating leverage in today's market.
Biggest Risk
With homes built anywhere from 1967 to 2023, condition varies widely — inspection findings matter more here than the listing price alone.
Sweet Spot
Buyers who want an established, larger-format home (median 2,152 square feet) and are willing to shop on condition, not just price.
Avoid If
Move-in-ready urgency is a poor fit if you need a fast, competitive-offer purchase — this market currently rewards patience.

An 8-month market favors buyers

With only 6 homes actively listed and an 8.0 months-supply reading, The Cape currently sits in buyer-leaning territory as of 2026-07-14. That figure means it would take roughly eight months to sell through the current active inventory at the recent pace of sales — long enough that buyers can negotiate on price, closing costs, or repairs rather than compete in multiple-offer situations.

About 84% of homes in The Cape carry a homestead exemption, per Duval County property records, indicating most of the community's homes are owner-occupied rather than held as rentals or investment property. Reported community amenities for this community are limited to security lighting across MLS listings; buyers should verify current amenities and access directly with the HOA.

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