Buying activity starts to shift in Northeast Florida

In Northeast Florida, the single-family home market picked up momentum in February after a sluggish start to the year.

According to data from the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors, closed sales for single-family homes increased by 8.7% from the previous month, reaching 1,271 transactions. Homes also spent less time on the market, with the median days dropping to 41—down 19.6% from January.

The median sales price for single-family homes across the six-county region rose by 4% to $389,989.

Meanwhile, new listings saw a slight decline of 1% from January, with 3,304 homes entering the market. However, the total number of active single-family home listings grew by 10.7% to 7,954 properties. Compared to the same time last year, inventory has surged by 70% since February 2024.

“These changes suggest that Jacksonville’s real estate market remains relatively stable,” said Mario Gonzalez, the 2025 NEFAR President, in a statement.

Here’s a breakdown of single-family home sales by county in February:

  • Duval County: The median sales price dropped by 5.4% to $334,000. Closed sales climbed 8.5% to 667 transactions. Active inventory rose 10.2% to 3,893 homes, representing a 5.8-month supply.
