Housing Market in Jacksonville
Jacksonville's housing market has shifted toward buyers in 2026 on standard trend measures -- more inventory, a lower Redfin competition score -- even though the specific median-price and days-on-market figures vary enough between sources that no single number should be treated as precise. This is a market-conditions view; see buying-a-home for the purchase process itself.

Redfin's 2026 city-level data pegs Jacksonville's median sale price at $300,000, consistent with the $300K-$310K range in the base Jacksonville record. As noted there, sources disagree on direction: one Redfin window showed prices up 1.9% year-over-year, while an August 2026 MLS-sourced figure (via Momentum Realty) showed $310K down 2.3% year-over-year over a different window. That disagreement is a genuine open question in the data, not something this page resolves.
A Buyer's Market by Redfin's Own Scoring
Redfin describes the Jacksonville market as "somewhat competitive," scoring it 46 out of 100 on its competition index for 2026, and explicitly characterizes conditions as a buyer's market. Homes are drawing an average of roughly 1 offer, a meaningfully weaker demand signal than during the tight 2021-2022 market.
Inventory Has Loosened Substantially Since 2022
Redfin counted 5,056 active listings as of April 30, 2026, up from 4,980 in March 2026. Months of supply has expanded from a tight low of 1.4 months in 2022 to a healthier 3.1 months in 2026 -- a real, well-documented loosening in available inventory over that period.
Days on Market: A Genuine Source Disagreement
Days-on-market figures diverge more than the price data: some 2026 sources put the citywide average around 69-71 days, while a local-market report cited a much shorter 36 days for April specifically (down 16.3% from March). These aren't easily reconciled from this research pass -- they may reflect different measurement windows (a single month vs. a trailing average) or different property mixes -- so treat any single days-on-market figure for Jacksonville as approximate.
Key takeaways
- Redfin's 2026 median sale price for Jacksonville is $300,000, consistent with the base record's $300K-$310K range -- most affordable of the Florida A+ markets researched so far. Sources disagree on direction: up ~1.9% YoY in one window, down ~2.3% YoY in another (August 2026, MLS-sourced).
- Redfin scores the market 46/100 ("somewhat competitive") and calls it a buyer's market, with homes drawing roughly 1 offer on average.
- Inventory has loosened from 1.4 months of supply in 2022 to 3.1 months in 2026, with 5,056 active listings as of April 30, 2026.
- Days-on-market estimates diverge sharply by source (roughly 36-71 days) -- a genuine disagreement in the data, not a single reliable number.
