What Can Jacksonville Beach Building Types Tell a Seller About Prices? Reading the Buildings, the Seasonal Homes and the Sold Prices

How far apart are the Jacksonville Beach price pages, and which page is the oldest?

Zillow reports $639,639, updated May 31, 2026; Redfin reports $675,000 for the three months ending June; Realtor.com reports $656,500 sold and $737,000 listed for September. Census owner value is $582,400, plus or minus $37,649, from the pooled period ending in 2024. Zillow is the oldest price page, about four months before Realtor.com. Access dates do not update these measures.

The measures differ as well as the dates. Zillow's ZHVI methodology uses a trimmed middle-third mean of property Zestimates and a repeat-Zestimate index. It covers homes that did not sell, rather than averaging closed-sale prices. Taking Zillow's figure as the base, Redfin's median is 5.5% above it, Realtor.com's sold median 2.6% above it and its listing median 15.2% above it. Zillow is 9.8% above Census owner value. These are numerical gaps between distinct measures, not a valuation range for one home.

Zillow's value is down 0.3% annually; Redfin's sold median is down five percent. Realtor.com's sold median is down 11.88% annually and 5.54% monthly, while its listing median is up 0.01% annually and down 0.70% monthly. These figures describe different dated populations. They do not establish depreciation of matching properties or that one seller's ask-to-sale gap widened. Earlier dollar values reconstructed from rounded growth rates would be approximations, not independently observed medians.

Redfin reports $394 per square foot, down 4.1% annually. Realtor.com reports $456, up 6.49% annually and 0.61% monthly. Realtor.com's research library defines median listing price per foot as a listed-home measure. The 15.7% numerical gap, taking Redfin as the base, is not a premium on matching closed homes. Opposite trends in listing and sold populations do not prove that building type, floor area or condition changed among transactions. Compare known attributes on matching records instead.

Realtor.com's balanced and warm labels can coexist because they need not measure the same question. Its seventy-two days are down 19.19% annually but up 21.21% monthly; both movements can be true. Its $2,950 asking-rent median is down 4.84% monthly and 1.67% annually. No nearby condominium-building or neighborhood row substitutes for postal data. A current page access does not turn May, June and September observations into the same month or make the older model value current.

Census owner value is a separate measure. The ACS subject guide asks owners what the house and lot would sell for if on sale, rather than recording a current appraisal or closing. A $37,649 margin of error stays attached to the $582,400 estimate; it cannot alone test a difference against an unmatched sold median. Listed and closed homes have different populations. Stock counts do not identify the mix behind those medians. Matching closed sales with known building type, ownership, condition and terms are more useful for one property.

How much Jacksonville Beach housing is in multi-unit buildings or seasonal use?

Of 15,377 units, 7,511 are detached, 814 attached and 834 mobile homes. Two-unit buildings hold 703 units, three or four hold 1,020, five to nine hold 811, ten to nineteen hold 1,074, twenty to forty-nine hold 1,214 and fifty or more hold 1,396. Multi-unit buildings total 6,218 units, or 40.4%. No units are counted as boats or recreational vehicles.

Buildings of twenty or more units hold 2,610 units, or seventeen percent, exceeding the 1,517 in attached houses and two-unit buildings combined. Building size does not establish condominium ownership. The separate tenure table covers all types together, so it cannot split these units into owned and rented homes. Compare a specific unit with known ownership, building type, floor, condition and terms. The postal stock alone cannot prove that small buildings pulled a sales median away from detached houses.

Of 2,412 vacant units, 639 are for rent, twelve rented but unoccupied, 109 for sale, nine sold but unoccupied, 1,049 seasonal, recreational or occasional, and 594 other vacant. Vacancy is 15.7% of all units; seasonal use is 43.5% of vacancies and 6.8% of all units. Census vacation-home guidance counts a stay of at least two months from interview as current residence. Shorter stays can be temporarily occupied yet classified vacant. These pooled estimates are not a single day's empty homes or identified short-term rentals.

The median build year is 1984. Of 15,377 units, 419 predate 1940, 620 are from the 1940s, 1,554 the 1950s, 1,180 the 1960s and 2,789 the 1970s. The pre-1980 total is 6,562, or 42.7%. The chart retains all decade counts. Construction year does not diagnose condition. EPA guidance covers most housing built before 1978; the broader pre-1980 band cannot determine coverage. Covered sellers must disclose known lead information, provide available records, the required pamphlet and contract warning, and give buyers a ten-day inspection opportunity. Check the property's year and applicable requirements, not just the survey band.

Among 8,977 owner homes, 4,825 have three bedrooms, 2,366 four and 325 five or more. Renters' most common count is two bedrooms, with 2,070 of 3,988 homes. These aggregate differences do not establish the bedroom count or value of a unit in a particular building.

How fast do Jacksonville Beach homes sell, and what do sellers get against asking?

Redfin shows a median of 67 days on the market for the three months ending June 2026, against 51 a year before, with 174 homes sold in June, up from 163. It shows a sale-to-list ratio of 96.2%, down 0.83 points, with 4.7% of homes sold above list, down 2.6 points, and 40.4% of homes with price drops, down 5.2 points. Its Compete Score is 38, which it labels somewhat competitive, and it says the average home sells about 4% below list and goes pending in about 67 days, while hot homes sell around list and go pending in about 38 days.

Realtor.com reports seventy-two days for September, down 19.19% annually and up 21.21% monthly. Its text reports sales 3.13% below asking and a rounded 97% ratio. Zillow's May page reports around sixty-three days to pending. These are not interchangeable full-sale schedules. Redfin's Metrics Definitions separates contract-acceptance days from days to close; Realtor.com's research library describes listing time through closing or removal. Similar numbers do not prove a typical complete transaction takes two months.

Redfin's sixty-seven days against fifty-one a year earlier indicate longer marketing in its June window. Realtor.com's annual comparison indicates shorter listing time in September. Different periods and definitions prevent one from correcting the other. Redfin's methodology explains rolling three-month windows for smaller geographies. Its text's 174 June sales should not automatically be treated as the full sample behind every windowed metric. Keep the publisher's displayed period rather than silently convert it into one calendar month's matching homes.

Realtor.com reports 233 active listings, down 17.30% annually and nine percent monthly, and ninety-nine rentals, down 27.91% annually and 6.06% monthly. Dividing listings by the older survey's 12,965 occupied homes gives 1.8%. That is not months of supply, a vacancy rate or an identified overlap between listings and survey units. Counts reconstructed from rounded growth rates are approximate. A smaller dated listing inventory does not establish availability for a particular property type or demonstrate an individual seller's bargaining power.

Redfin's 96.2% ratio averages individual closed-home ratios against final list price, not original asking or a ratio of postal medians. Its 40.4% price-drop share concerns listings, not the same population as the 4.7% sold-above-list share. The figures do not guarantee a concession. A direct purchase can change marketing and seller obligations, but a closing date and remaining conditions need written terms. Neither a listing nor a direct offer should be presented as automatic certainty or a superior net result.

A median does not show the spread of waiting times or the chance of missing a fixed deadline. The pages do not substantiate a distribution of sales in days versus months. Redfin says some homes get multiple offers; that does not measure every property's competition or show why a home sold. Check marketing, acceptance and closing dates on comparable records, and the conditions on each proposal. Plan separately for getting an acceptable offer and completing the transaction.

Who owns and who rents in Jacksonville Beach, and how heavy is the cost?

The population is 29,072, with a margin of error of 1,056. Ages forty-five to sixty-four account for 8,781 residents, or 30.2%, and sixty-five or older for 6,069, or 20.9%. These demographic groups do not identify sellers, urgency or the condition of their homes.

Of 12,965 occupied homes, 8,977, or 69.2%, are owned and 3,988 rented. Owner move-ins span 283 in 2023 or later, 1,225 in 2020 to 2022, 3,523 in the 2010s, 1,713 in the 2000s, 1,193 in the 1990s and 1,040 before 1990. Half of renter households moved in during 2020 or later, against 16.8% of owners. These histories do not identify future turnover or people currently selling.

Among 5,439 mortgage households with a computed share, 1,644, or 30.2%, spend thirty percent or more of income on selected owner costs and 723, or 13.3%, spend half or more. The largest band is ten to 14.9%, with 963 homes, or 17.7%. Mortgage holders are 61.7% of owners. Among 3,405 mortgage-free households with a computed share, 395, or 11.6%, cross thirty percent and 265, or 7.8%, cross half. Census definitions include applicable mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, utilities and specified charges, not general upkeep. Mortgage-free is not cost-free.

Renters more often cross these income-share thresholds; this is not a comparison of monthly dollar costs or matching households. Of 3,988 renter homes, 169 have no computed rent share, leaving 3,819. Of those, 1,777, or 46.5%, pay 30% or more of income on rent, and 719, or 18.8%, pay half or more. The 50% band, at 719, is the single largest of the nine bands, larger than the 15% to 19.9% band at 527. The median gross rent is $1,787, plus or minus $86.

The median household income is $117,724, with a margin of error of $16,190, or 13.8% of the value, so retain the stated uncertainty. The Census table used here does not report income by tenure, so the brief draws no comparison of incomes between owners and renters. Realtor.com's median rent of $2,950 for listed rentals is higher than the Census median gross rent, and the two measure different sets of homes, listed rentals in September and pooled occupied rental housing with gross rent definitions. Readers comparing markets can also read the Atlantic Beach brief and the Palma Ceia brief.

What should a Jacksonville Beach owner ask before choosing a listing or a private sale?

Keep four questions apart: what matching closed transactions show, how marketing and closing might fit your deadline, what known condition and contract obligations involve, and what agreed costs do to proceeds. Building-type counts, seasonal classifications and age bands cannot identify one owner's urgency or a home's repair budget. Compare records and written proposals. The different postal medians do not settle any of these questions on their own.

For illustration, one, three or five percent of a $725,000 price is $7,250, $21,750 or $36,250. These are arithmetic examples, not commission quotes or a property valuation. Actual costs depend on agreement. CFPB guidance explains that mortgage payoff can differ from current balance because it includes interest through the payoff date and may include fees or a prepayment penalty. Obtain a dated payoff statement. Compare the cash remaining under written offers, including charges not covered by the buyer, rather than subtracting only a headline commission.

Maison Off-Market describes a direct purchase with no public showings, flexible closing, no commissions or seller closing costs, and no seller inspections or repairs. Those terms can suit some owners who live elsewhere, but do not establish a higher net result. Compare who pays each charge, remaining conditions and closing dates with a realistic listing alternative. Privacy is a choice about how the sale is conducted, not a promise about every neighbor's knowledge. Condition can affect an offer even without seller repair obligations.

Maison Off-Market buys luxury homes and estates directly from their owners and speaks only to sellers. An owner who wants to see what a direct purchase would look like, with no public listing and no showings, can use the contact form below and ask for an offer before deciding.

Methodology and limitations

Zillow's May update, Redfin's three-month window ending June and Realtor.com's September indicators are not synchronized. Zillow's trimmed modeled index is not a closed-sale average. Redfin's sixty-seven days and Realtor.com's seventy-two retain distinct periods and definitions; opposite annual directions do not prove a data error. Realtor.com's balanced and warm labels are not inherently contradictory. Its table uses monthly and annual headings, both preserved. No neighborhood row replaces the postal area.

ACS guidance explains that five-year estimates pool sixty months of responses and trade currency for precision in smaller areas. These 2020-2024 postal estimates are not today's households or a single-day inventory. Margins remain attached; counts and shares were checked against totals. Vacancy follows current-residence rules. Owner value is a survey response, not a current closing, and selected owner costs do not mean a maintenance budget. Building-size categories do not identify condo ownership or sold-property mix.

The brief makes no claim about any one property, owner, tenant or buyer, and it does not say that a private sale always yields more than a listing.

Conclusion

Jacksonville Beach's postal survey describes detached houses at about half of all units, multi-unit buildings at about four in ten and seasonal use at 6.8%. It does not identify condominium ownership or prove those categories caused price changes. Dated price and timing measures need matching transactions and contract terms before an owner can use them for a decision. Compare known property attributes, marketing and closing risks, condition and agreed costs rather than treating postal medians as a valuation or deadline.

Maison Off-Market buys luxury homes and estates directly from their owners and speaks only to sellers. An owner who wants a direct offer, with no public listing and no showings, can ask through the contact form.
