Your Jacksonville market update
Here are the latest Jacksonville market numbers, a couple of events worth your weekend, and my latest video.
Your market this week
Here is what happened in Duval County and St. Augustine.
| Area | Period | New listings | Pending/under contract | Closed | Median sold price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duval County (Jacksonville) | Last 7 days | 384 | 135 | 205 | n/a |
| Duval County (Jacksonville) | Last 30 days | 1,510 | 649 | 1,038 | $318,995 |
| St. Augustine | Last 7 days | 154 | 44 | 62 | n/a |
| St. Augustine | Last 30 days | 533 | 234 | 376 | $465,000 |
Residential listings in realMLS (Flexmls), counted Oct. 23, 2026 at about 4:35 p.m. ET. Last 7 days = Oct. 16 to Oct. 23; last 30 days = Sept. 23 to Oct. 23. "St. Augustine" covers St. Johns County listings with a St. Augustine city name. Duval County includes Jacksonville. "Pending/under contract" counts listings that went pending in the window, including those that have since closed. It leaves out listings marked active under contract, so it runs a little low. Closings are often recorded a few days late. Median sold price is for the 30-day window only, so the 7-day rows show n/a. Price-cut counts were not part of this pull, so they are not shown.
Last month by county
| September 2026 | Median sale price | vs. August | Closed sales | Median days on market | Active listings | Months of supply |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duval County | $345,000 | up 3.6% | 830 | 29 | 3,139 | 3.8 |
| St. Johns County | $568,750 | down 0.5% | 390 | 42 | 1,456 | 3.7 |
| Northeast Florida (6-county region) | $399,000 | up 1.1% | 1,581 | 36 | 6,287 | 4.0 |
