What’s really going on in the Jacksonville housing market right now?

In short — things are shifting. We’re not in the frenzy of 2021–2022 anymore, but we’re also not in a crash. Duval County’s market is taking a slow, steady step toward balance, and that means opportunity for both buyers and sellers.

The Numbers: Where We Stand in Summer 2025

According to the latest data, the median sale price for a single-family home across Northeast Florida sits around $394,000, with Duval County specifically holding a median of $329,000. Inventory has grown to about 4.5 months of supply — a big change from the “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” days of a year or two ago.

Homes in Jacksonville are averaging 69 days on the market, up from last summer’s pace. That means buyers have more breathing room, and sellers need to be strategic from day one.

So what’s driving the change? A mix of factors — more listings hitting the market, buyers feeling the weight of higher mortgage rates, and the usual seasonal slowdown. But here’s the deal: even with these shifts, Duval County remains an attractive market thanks to steady job growth, lifestyle appeal, and relative affordability compared to other parts of Florida.

For Sellers: Why This Is Still a Solid Time to List

You might hear “more inventory” and “longer days on market” and think, maybe I missed my shot. Not so fast.

Here’s why:

• Prices are holding — The median hasn’t taken a big hit.

• Serious buyers are still active — People are relocating to Jacksonville every month for jobs, family, or lifestyle.

• Competition is manageable — Yes, there’s more inventory, but we’re not in an oversupply situation.

If you price smartly and present your home well, you can still attract strong offers. And we can help you figure out exactly where your home fits in the current market.

For Buyers: More Choices, More Time

If you were house-hunting in 2022, you probably remember the bidding wars, the rushed decisions, and the “sorry, it’s already under contract” heartbreaks. Those days aren’t completely gone, but they’re a lot less common now.

With more homes on the market and a longer average selling time, you can:

• Take a breath and actually compare properties.

• Negotiate on price and terms.

• Include inspection and appraisal contingencies without automatically losing the deal.

Now remember — mortgage rates still matter. And while rates have pulled back a bit from their peak, they’re still higher than the rock-bottom numbers of 2020–2021. That’s why talking to a local lender before you start touring is key.
