Why Jacksonville's Median Price Looks Different Depending on Where You Look

Why Jacksonville's Median Price Looks Different Depending on Where You Look

Search for the median home price in Jacksonville and you'll find several answers. Here is how to read them.

The Current Picture

• Jacksonville (Duval) single-family median: about $315,000
• Northeast Florida regional median (NEFAR): about $395,000
• Ponte Vedra / St. Johns County: about $500,000 to $825,000+; Ponte Vedra Beach typical single-family around $825,000

Other sources use other methods. Zillow's January 2026 "typical home value" for the Jacksonville metro, for example, was around $343,000, because it's an estimate of typical values rather than a median of recent sales.

Why the Numbers Differ

1. Geography. City, county, and multi-county metro are different areas.
2. Mix of homes. Single-family only versus all property types.
3. Methodology. Median of closed sales, median list price, or an estimated value.
4. Timing. Monthly figures move with the mix of homes that sold.

Using the Numbers

Use the median as a starting point, then drill into your target neighborhood and price tier. A buyer at $315,000 on the Southside and one at $825,000 in Ponte Vedra are in very different markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the median the same as the average? No. The median is the middle price, which resists distortion from a few very expensive sales.

Which number should I budget around? The one for your target area and home type, plus insurance, taxes, and fees.
