Market Heat
Price here is driven far more by condition and individual property than by any uniform standard. With a median around $127,500 and a median of roughly $119 per square foot, Thompsons sits well below the broader Jacksonville market, and the wide age of the housing stock means two homes on the same block can trade very differently depending on what has been done to them.
The current posture is slow and deliberate. A median of about 85 days on market and a market heat score of 33 tell you this is not a place where you write offers on sight. Buyers have room to inspect, negotiate, and walk. Sellers should price to condition from day one and plan for a longer marketing window rather than a bidding war.

Who Thompsons is best for.
Best for
- Value-focused buyers with a modest budget who can weigh condition against a low median price
- Investors seeking in-city rental stock, given the substantial non-homestead share
- Renovation-minded buyers with contingency budget and patience for an older home
Probably not for
- Buyers who need new construction or a turnkey home with no near-term repairs
- Anyone on a tight timeline who cannot wait out a market where homes sit around 85 days
- Buyers expecting quick, guaranteed resale gains rather than a condition-dependent hold
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For
Median sale price over the trailing 12 months ending July 14 of each year, from record-level realMLS closed sales. Same methodology as every appreciation figure on this page: the 2026 point ($128K) IS the median in the snapshot above, and the move from 2025 ($126K) IS the +1.2% one-year change.

The Thompsons buying strategy.
If we were buying in Thompsons 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 Thompsons.
An older stock that rewards due diligence
The homes here range from 1907 to 2024, with a median build year of 1954 and a median living area of about 1,151 square feet. That is a compact, older footprint by Duval County standards, and it means mechanical systems, roofs, and foundations vary enormously from property to property. Inspection is not a formality here; it is the whole ballgame.
Year-over-year the median is up about 1.2%, essentially flat, though the longer arc since 2012 shows a very large cumulative move of roughly 1,138%. Read that as a low base rising off older, in-city values over more than a decade, not as a signal about what any single home will do next. With a homestead share near 29%, a meaningful portion of these homes are held as rentals or non-primary properties, which is worth weighing if you want a block of owner-occupants.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Thompsons. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
