Northeast Florida Market Update | June 2023

“Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.” Abraham Lincoln

 

 

 

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats continues to present a unique real estate market in 2023. The median sales price of $360,000 is up slightly (1.4%) from May and down 1.6% from last year. The prices bottomed out at $330,705 in January 2023 and have been steadily rising since. Prices are dictated by supply and demand. Our supply is low, and demand continues to be steady.

 

You may have seen the article in the Daily Record by Gregg Cohen with JWB Companies. He listed several factors that indicate real estate in Northeast Florida is not likely to crash.

 

  • Low inventory levels
  • Surging population growth
  • Strong job market
  • High equity levels in existing homes

 

Brian Buffini also talked about high equity levels in his recent Bold Predictions. He said nationally 39% of homes are owned free and clear, 29% have 50% or more equity in their home which leaves 32% of owners with less than 50% equity. These stats don’t look anything like the Great recession.

July 19, 2023

 | 

We are off to a sizzling start to summer closing out the second quarter of 2023 with a strong June finish!   It’s time to recognize our top agents who made it all happen.  We are so proud of all their accomplishments!  Here’s what we asked them this month: For anyone moving here to our beautiful first coast from out of the area or anyone visiting what would you recommend as a “Must See, Must Do” top area or top attraction to visit?

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producer for June and our Jacksonville Beach Team Top Producer and Top Sales Agent for the 2nd Quarter is Jennifer Todd with over 2.3 Million in closings and 2.3 Million in pending sales.

 

 

 

 

Jennifer – There are so many wonderful things to do and see on the First Coast of Florida.  Here are a few “Must See” places and I’m certain they will lead you to discover more fascinating places!

 

Downtown Historic St. Augustine! Stroll the streets to enjoy the history, beautiful architecture, and some of the best restaurants. I strongly recommend the Trolly Tour. You can hop on and off and the tour guides are so knowledgeable.

 

Our beaches are beautiful from Atlantic Beach and south to Anastasia Island. All of the beaches have easy access. The Guana State Park is in between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Mickler Beach is in Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville Beach is miles long with Huguenot Beach to the north.

 

There are fishing charters throughout the area and you can enjoy the ocean fishing and Intracoastal waters… 

 

Golf, Golf, Golf!!! Depending on the level of golf you play, there is a course for you.

 

Give me a call and we can chat about all the other many options and I’m always happy to recommend a great restaurant!  

 

 

 

 

Our Top Producing Team in both closings and pending sales for June and the Quarter is The Nemethy Group with Shelley and Tim Nemethy.  They had over 6.7 Million in closings and 6.6 Million in overall pending sales in the quarter.
