The recorded closings, market speed, price direction, and failed-listing count for Duval County — from MLS records, not opinion — and the honest framework for the sell-now-or-wait call.
Duval County is transacting — 13,001 recorded closings in the last 12 months, with the median community selling in 49 days (one of the faster-moving large markets in the state). But pricing power leans to buyers: the median community’s price change over the year was -3.0%, near the middle of Florida's large markets. In the same window, 26,020 Duval County listings failed to sell — canceled, expired, or withdrawn — which is the cost of pricing against last year instead of last quarter. The verdict the data supports: selling now works at today’s prices; waiting is a bet this page won’t make for you.
Against the 14 largest-volume counties we track: #3 for market speed (49 days vs. a 46–72 day range) and #9 for price softness (-3.0% vs. a −7.1% to −1.3% range). The full side-by-side lives on our statewide sell-now-or-wait page; the statewide failed-listing record — 201,552 listings in 12 months and why they failed — is at why isn’t my house selling.
Three moves the records support here: price against the last 90 days of closed sales in your community (our Duval County pages publish them by community); correct early and decisively if the first two weeks are quiet — statewide, 71.6% of failed listings cut price and still failed because the cut came late; and know your true payoff before you commit with the seller net-proceeds tool.
No 2027 forecast, no guaranteed outcomes, no algorithmic value estimate. County medians hide wide community spreads — some Duval County communities are still appreciating. For a records-based read on yours: a hand-prepared valuation from actual closings, not an algorithm.
A records-based listing net sheet from your community’s actual closings — and where available, written cash-offer interest to hold next to it. No algorithm, no obligation.
Methodology: county figures aggregate per-community MLS statistics (median community days-on-market and median community 1-year price change; closings as recorded) for the 12 months ending August 15, 2026, from the MLS feeds Momentum Realty licenses. Failed-listing counts (where shown) are Canceled/Expired/Withdrawn records deduplicated per listing over the same window; counties outside those feeds show no count rather than an estimate. Compiled from MLS records; deemed reliable but not guaranteed. General information, not advice about any specific property.
One form, one local agent, no call center: every step above lands on the same seller form or a records-based answer.

This page makes no forecast. The recorded facts: prices in most large Florida counties fell over the past year, waiting has known carrying costs against an unknown future price, and if your next purchase is also in Florida you buy with the same leverage you give your buyer. The decision is personal math, not market timing.
