This year’s football season has been a tough one for the Jacksonville Jaguars and their head coach, Doug Pederson.
Following a brutal 4-13 season, Pederson was fired on Monday, closing out his three-year tenure with the team.
Though the NFL season wasn’t fruitful for the 56-year-old coach, it appears he’s been making better calls in the real estate market. He owns two properties in Florida, and if he decides to sell them upon leaving the Jaguars, both are likely to turn a profit.
Pederson’s Jupiter Home
Before making his move to Jacksonville, Pederson was already putting down roots in Florida while he was still head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, whom he led to a Super Bowl victory in 2017.
In July 2020, at the start of the Covid-era home-buying frenzy, Pederson bought a home in Jupiter, Florida, for nearly $5 million, records show. In the last four years, the home’s value has grown significantly and is now estimated at about $6.5 million, according to an estimate from Realtor.com—a 30% increase in value.
That’s slightly better than what Jupiter’s luxury market—defined as the 95th percentile of listings—has seen in that time. In July 2020, the median luxury listing price was $5.292 million, and as of December, stood at $6.685 million, according to data from Realtor.com.
Pederson’s waterfront Jupiter home has seen a 30% increase in value.

Pederson’s waterfront home sits on the Loxahatchee River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. A small sandy beach in the backyard leads into the water, where there’s a dock with two jet ski lifts and a boat lift.
The 6,476-square-foot home, which was built in 2016, has five bedrooms, five full bathrooms and two half-baths.
Outside, there’s also a heated saltwater pool and a summer kitchen, which has a dishwasher, a grill, a refrigerator and two TVs.
Pederson’s Jacksonville Home
After being hired by the Jaguars, Pederson bought a home in Jacksonville for $1.9 million in April 2022 in an off-market deal, property records show.
Though it hasn’t appreciated as much as his Jupiter residence, it still has proven to be a good purchase for Pederson, valuations show. Its estimated value is now about $2.1 million, according to Realtor.com—roughly 11% growth in two years.
This increase in value isn’t shared across Jacksonville’s luxury market, however, where prices have fallen since 2022. In April 2022, the median luxury listing price was about $1 million, but as of December, it had slipped to $817,800, according to Realtor.com data.
Pederson’s Jacksonville home has also seen an uptick in value.

Pederson’s home is located within a gated community adjacent to the exclusive golf course Pablo Creek Club. Built in 2018, the approximately 3,600-square-foot home has four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms.
Similar to his Jupiter home, this house also backs up to a body of water, though this one is much smaller and doesn’t have ocean access. The backyard has a built-in barbecue and a pool and hot tub.
