The northeast Florida real estate market seems to be coming out of the winter doldrums and heating up for spring. We have written more contracts in the first two weeks of March in our office than in the entire month of February.

 

In the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors Market Stats for February 2019, pending sales of 2,454 are up 5% over February 2018. There were 1,956 closings which is up 1%.

 

There were 3,351 new listings which is up 4% over last February. The inventory of homes for sale is 8,942 which is up 5% over last February. We continue to have a 3.5 months supply of inventory which is still a little below a balanced market of 5 to 6 months supply.
