Daybreak Woods, Jacksonville

Market snapshot

Twelve closings were recorded at a median of $295,000 and about $166 a square foot, with homes averaging 59 days on market and 3.0 months of supply. Median price was up roughly 2% year over year and the source classifies it as a seller's market. Twelve sales is a modest sample — the direction is credible, the precise median less so.

Market figures above are aggregated community sales data taken from the public community-data index published at the website movewithmomentum.com (an unaffiliated third party), dataset generated 2026-07-13, reflecting sales as of 2026-07-09. Figures are area aggregates, not an appraisal or a valuation of any individual home, and they change as new sales record. HOA dues, CDD fees and property taxes are NOT shown here: the only figures available for them are modelled estimates rather than recorded amounts. Ask Keith Jones Sr for the current recorded numbers before you rely on them.

For context, Duval County as a whole carried a county-wide typical home value (ZHVI) of $297,493 and a county median list price of $308,950, with a county-wide average of 57 days on market and a price-cut share of 24.4%, as of the June 2026 data release. Daybreak Woods' $295,000 median sale price sits within about $2,500 of the county-wide typical value — essentially in line with the county as a whole — and its 59-day average is only two days off the county's 57-day figure. With only twelve recorded closings behind that median, though, take the alignment as a rough read rather than proof the community tracks the county precisely; a single high or low sale would move a sample this small more than it would move the county number.

Duval County carried 185 total schools and 23 designated Schools of Excellence in the FLDOE 2024-25 data, with average student learning gains of 56.8% in ELA and 59.4% in math countywide. As with any Northside address, confirm the specific school assignment with Duval County Public Schools directly rather than assuming it from a nearby community, since attendance zones shift at boundaries that do not always follow neighborhood lines.

What to check before you buy here

On the Northside the two questions that change a payment most are the flood determination and whether a CDD assessment applies to the parcel. Get both from official sources — the elevation certificate and the county tax record — rather than from the listing. Then ask about the age of the roof and the water heater, which is where the first real expense usually lands.

With only twelve recorded closings in the underlying dataset, treat the community-wide median and per-square-foot figures on this page as directional rather than precise. That is not a reason to avoid the community — it is a reason to lean more heavily on a direct comparable-sales pull for the specific street and product type before you set a price, rather than anchoring to the community median alone. Ask for that pull before you write an offer or set a list price; a twelve-sale dataset can hide a lot of variation between an older frame home and a newer build on the same street.

If a CDD does apply to the parcel, remember it finances a specific piece of infrastructure — roads, drainage, utilities for that phase of development — as 30-year bonded debt, vary by community and phase in this part of Northeast Florida, separate from any HOA dues. Get the actual recorded figure for the address, not an estimate, since it is amortizing debt tied to the parcel rather than a fee that can be negotiated away.

For an investor, the newer construction in this corridor and its position near the airport, the port and I-95 make Daybreak Woods worth a rental-math look, but run that math against actual comparable rents in the immediate corridor, not a citywide average — Northside rental demand and pricing has its own dynamics distinct from Southside or the Beaches. And if you are selling and the small sample here means an appraisal comes in lower than expected, that gap is exactly the kind of situation where a short-sale conversation is worth having early rather than after a contract falls through; Keith Jones Sr is a state-approved short-sale instructor and can talk through the options.

One more Northside-specific item worth flagging: this corridor sits near flight paths and industrial-adjacent parcels that do not affect every street the same way, so a walk-through at different times of day, not just the showing appointment, tells you more about noise and traffic than the listing photos ever will. None of that shows up in a sales dataset, but it shows up in resale demand five and ten years out, which is exactly the horizon that matters if this is meant to be a long-term hold rather than a quick flip.

Who Daybreak Woods Fits

Ask the fit question honestly: do you want newer construction at a moderate price more than you want an established, data-rich resale market? Buyers who answer yes do well here — especially those anchored to the airport, the port, or the I-95 commute north, and those willing to order a comparable-sales pull rather than trust a twelve-sale median. It also suits the investor who will underwrite the corridor’s own rents and factor any CDD assessment into the return before committing. It is a poor match for a buyer who needs pricing certainty from a deep dataset; the sample here simply is not that.

Two line items decide most Northside budgets, and both are parcel-specific: the flood determination, which you pull for the exact address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center, and any CDD assessment, which appears on the recorded tax bill at the Duval County Property Appraiser. Confirm school assignment for the address with Duval County Public Schools, and see the Florida Department of Revenue for how exemptions shape what you will actually owe.
