What selling a house in Jacksonville looks like right now
Jacksonville and Duval County share one consolidated government, and the housing stock covers a lot of ground. Riverside, Avondale and Springfield have homes from the early 1900s. Arlington, the Westside and the Northside are full of 1950s and 1960s ranches. Clay, St. Johns and Nassau counties have grown fast with newer subdivisions, many with HOA dues or CDD assessments. Much of the city sits along the St. Johns River and its creeks, so flood risk and flood insurance are a real factor for some owners. Older homes can need roofs, cast iron drain lines or electrical work before an insurer will write a policy. In August 2026 the city’s median sale price was up a little from a year earlier, but homes took a median of 57 days to sell and about 39% had a price cut. A house needing work often takes longer.

Probate, taxes and foreclosure in the Jacksonville area
Each county runs these a little differently. Here’s what matters when you’re selling an inherited house, dealing with back taxes or trying to stay ahead of a foreclosure. General information, not legal advice.

What a Jacksonville seller actually walks away with
The list price isn’t what you keep. Here’s an illustrative example for a dated Jacksonville house that needs work. We set the after-repair value a little under the Jacksonville median because the example is an older ranch, and the repair budget covers a roof, HVAC, a basic kitchen and cosmetic work.
| List it yourself | Sell to BAM as-is | |
|---|---|---|
| Sale price after repairs | $290,000 | Your offer amount |
| Repairs before listing | −$40,000 | $0 |
| Agent commissions (5.5% assumed) | −$16,000 | $0 |
| Title, escrow, transfer tax and other seller costs (est. 1.5%) | −$4,400 | $0, we pay them |
| Holding costs for 3 to 4 months (est. 1%) | −$2,900 | $0 |
| Inspection repair credits and concessions (est. 1%) | −$2,900 | $0 |
| What you walk away with | $223,800 | Your offer, dollar for dollar |
Illustrative example, not an offer or appraisal. Commissions are negotiable and every house is different. If you list with an agent, commissions are negotiable and are often in the 5% to 6% range for both sides combined. In Duval, Clay, St. Johns and Nassau counties the seller customarily pays for the buyer’s owner’s title insurance policy, though that can be negotiated. Florida charges documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 of the price, or about $2,030 on a $290,000 sale.
Compare our cash offer to that bottom-line number, not to the list price. If it’s close, you skip the repairs, the showings and months of waiting. If listing will clearly net you more, we’ll tell you.

Selling a house for cash in Jacksonville
I’m in the military and just got orders. Can you close quickly?
Yes. We can usually close in as little as 2–3 weeks, and paperwork can often be signed remotely if you’ve already moved.
How long does foreclosure take in Florida?
Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, so the process goes through the courts and usually takes longer than in non-judicial states. Still, the earlier you call, the more options you have.
Do you buy houses with storm damage?
Yes. We buy as-is, including roof, water and flood damage.
Who handles the closing?
A Florida title company or closing attorney handles the closing. We pay all of your closing costs.
How do foreclosure sales work in Jacksonville?
Florida foreclosures go through the circuit court. The lender files a lawsuit, and a sale happens only after a final judgment. Duval, Clay and St. Johns hold their foreclosure sales online through the Clerk’s auction websites. Under Florida law you can redeem, meaning pay what the judgment requires, until the clerk files the certificate of sale. If you have equity, selling before the sale date is one way to keep it.
How does the property tax appeal work here?
Each August the county Property Appraiser mails a TRIM notice showing your proposed value and taxes. If you think the value is too high, you can file a petition with the county Value Adjustment Board. For a value dispute the deadline is 25 days after the TRIM notice is mailed. For a denied exemption it is 30 days. Taxes are then billed in November.
Do I need probate to sell a house I inherited in Duval County?
Usually yes, unless the house was already set up to pass outside probate. For deaths on or after July 1, 2026, Florida’s shorter summary administration is available when the non-exempt estate is $150,000 or less, or when the person has been dead more than two years. The limit was $75,000 before that date, and some Clerk pages still show the old figure. The case is filed with the Duval County Clerk’s Probate Department, and many families use a probate attorney.
