“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
Dr. King had so many amazing quotes, but this is one of my favorites. We need more light and love.
Let’s review 2023 and look forward to a better 2024 for the real estate market. The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) market review for December 2023 shows a slight decline of 1.4% in the median sales price from November. The median sales price of $360,000 is up 6.5% from last year (the numbers used are from all types of properties in all 6 counties). The median sales price has moved up and down monthly, but prices have been fairly stable.
There were 1,922 closings in December which is 4.5% more than November; however, we are down 13.5% from last year. Pending sales of 1,590 were down 11.5% from November and 9.8% from last year. The number of transactions has been very low in 2023 mostly due to high mortgage interest rates and affordability.
