Jacksonville’s $305,080 median.
A different story on your street.

Jacksonville’s median sold price reached $305,080 in August 2026, up 1.69% from July, according to Realtors Property Resource (RPR). Its Listings dataset recorded 1,056 sold properties. Inventory measured 3.77 months, while the median time shown as “Days in RPR” rose to 50. These figures describe the combined property types above; they are not a single-family-only report or a Duval County total.

Prices rose, but the selling timeline lengthened

A higher median and a longer selling timeline can occur in the same month. RPR’s median sold price rose while median Days in RPR increased 16.28%. That combination gives a homeowner two different questions to investigate: what kind of property sold, and how long did comparable homes take to find a buyer?

A median is the midpoint of the recorded sale prices. It can change when the mix of homes selling changes. August’s 1.69% increase therefore does not establish that every Jacksonville home gained 1.69% in value. Similarly, the rounded sold-to-list figure of 97.5% describes the market dataset; it is not a recommended discount for a particular listing.

Mandarin shows what the citywide number leaves out

In RPR’s Mandarin neighborhood boundary, the same August report and property-type filter showed a $480,000 median sold price across 12 sales, with 2.46 months of inventory. The Jacksonville city dataset contained 1,056 sales. These are two geographic views of the market, not two interchangeable estimates for your property.

The neighborhood median was $174,920 above the city median. That gap does not establish a Mandarin price premium after accounting for differences between homes: the two groups can contain different sizes, property types, conditions and locations. With just 12 neighborhood sales, the homes that happened to close that month can have a substantial effect on the midpoint.

For a Mandarin homeowner, the useful follow-up is to examine the actual sales and identify properties that resemble the home being valued. Applying either $480,000 or $305,080 to an address without that work would skip the comparison that matters.

Riverside’s local story: homes that residents worked to preserve

Jacksonville’s housing differences also have a history. In the 1970s, residents concerned about the deterioration and demolition of historic buildings organized Riverside Avondale Preservation. The group formed in 1974. Riverside and Riverside Annex entered the National Register of Historic Places in 1985; Avondale followed in 1989. Riverside Avondale Preservation recounts that effort in its neighborhood history.

That history suggests useful questions when comparing an older Riverside or Avondale home: which nearby sales have similar architecture, renovation quality, condition and lot characteristics? An updated historic house and a house needing substantial repairs may share a neighborhood name while offering very different comparisons. The preservation story supplies context; it does not, by itself, assign a dollar adjustment or prove that a particular home carries a historic designation.

Three RPR price figures, three different measures

Readers may encounter more than one Jacksonville price figure in RPR. Keep each number attached to its source:

The differing counts show why combining the two sold datasets, or substituting the estimated-value number for a sale-price median, would misdescribe the report. This article does not infer a cause for the difference without transaction-level records.

Bring the market question back to the property and date

If you are sorting out an inherited Jacksonville home, start with its address, the condition relevant to the valuation, and the date for which you need a value. A report about August 2026 is market context for that period. It cannot establish what the home was worth on an earlier date.

Our Jacksonville estate appraisal service explains the property-specific process, including valuations as of a past effective date. When you contact us, share the purpose of the appraisal, the requested valuation date and any known repairs or renovations. Those details help frame the research more usefully than a citywide price headline.
