The Northeast Florida housing market is still moving—but buyers have more choices than they did a few years ago.

Over the past 30 days:

🏡 Duval County recorded 1,472 new residential listings reported by RealMLS and 1,033 closed sales, with an average sale price of $397,041.

🌴 Nassau County recorded 161 new residential listings and 80 closed sales, with an average sale price of $532,279.

The big takeaway: new listings are entering the market faster than homes are selling. Buyers are still active, but they have more properties to compare, and sellers need to be thoughtful about pricing, presentation and the competition already on the market.

Countywide statistics provide a useful overview, but every neighborhood, price range and property type can tell a different story.

Curious what the market looks like around your property? Send me the address, and I’ll be happy to take a closer look.

Some homes are defined by what you can change. This one stands out for what you can’t easily recreate.

At 7236 Sycamore Street, the next owner can update the home to their liking—but nearly two acres, mature trees and a spring-fed stocked pond are already here.

This north Jacksonville property offers:

🌳 1.99 fully fenced acres
🏠 Metal roof installed in 2021
❄️ New HVAC system
🚐 Concrete RV pad with electrical hookup
🔥 Wood-burning fireplace
💰 No HOA or CDD fees

Offered at $329,000.

Watch the one-minute property tour below, and let me know: What would you do with two acres and your own pond?

MARKET UPDATE: May 2026

The market isn’t bad, but it is less forgiving.

According to the latest single-family residential numbers from the Amelia Island–Nassau County Association of REALTORS®, the May median sale price was $555,000, up 7.6% compared to May of last year.

But one month never tells the whole story.

When you zoom out and look at the year-to-date number, the median sale price was $510,000, which was down 2.2% year-over-year. That’s why I think it’s important to look at the broader trend instead of overreacting to one monthly snapshot.

The timing numbers matter too:

Median time to contract: 43 days, up 13.2% year-over-year
Median time to sale: 78 days, unchanged year-over-year

My takeaway?

Buyers are still active, but they’re being more selective. Pricing, condition, location, insurance factors, roof age, presentation, and overall value all matter more than they did during the faster market a few years ago.

For homeowners, that does not mean you missed your chance. It means strategy matters.

The right pricing and prep can help a home stand out. The wrong repairs, overpricing, or weak presentation can make the process more frustrating than it needs to be.

If you’d like the full AINCAR residential report, or the condo or manufactured home reports, feel free to reach out and I’ll be happy to send them over.

And if you’re curious what your home may realistically be worth in today’s market, I’d be glad to take a look and give you a local, no-pressure opinion. Reach out anytime.

Some reviews stick with you.

This was one of those sales where “listing a house” barely describes the job. There were real challenges, real stress, and a lot of moving pieces, but the goal stayed the same: keep things moving, keep my clients informed, and help them get to the finish line with as little added pressure as possible.

I’m still incredibly thankful these clients trusted me during such an important chapter. Reviews like this mean a lot because they reflect the kind of experience I try to provide every time: steady guidance, honest communication, and a real commitment to helping people through a major life moment.

If we’ve worked together in the past and you haven’t had a chance to leave a Google review, it would mean a lot. Honest reviews help local buyers and sellers know who they can trust before they ever pick up the phone.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Northeast Florida, I’d be honored to help you navigate the process.

What could this homesite become?

This marshfront lot on Summer Breeze is more than just land; it’s a front-row seat to sunrise over the Intracoastal Waterway with views of Florida’s most enchanting barrier island—Amelia Island.

This short timelapse brings a Lowcountry build to life, showing what’s possible when vision meets the right setting.

If you’ve been looking for a homesite that actually feels different, this is one worth seeing in person.

This one started with PCS orders to Japan.

My sellers were preparing for a major move overseas when we first listed this home. Like a lot of military families, the timeline wasn’t flexible—but the market here in Northeast Florida was.

What most people don’t see: coordinating a sale from 14 hours ahead isn’t easy. Every disclosure, signature, and decision had to happen across time zones while they were starting a new chapter overseas.

This was the first home they’ve ever sold, and while that comes with its own set of challenges, they never wavered, staying consistent, adaptable, and trusting the process the entire way.

We made the right adjustments along the way—and got it to the closing table. Now they can focus on what’s ahead without a home to manage back in Florida.

If your situation feels complicated, there’s usually still a way forward with the right plan.
