Shrinking inventory tightens Jacksonville’s housing market and supports price growth
Jacksonville ranks last for year-over-year inventory growth among the nation’s 40 largest housing markets
Jacksonville’s home sales growth lags Florida peers as the market stabilizes
Jacksonville’s home sales growth lagged the national benchmark in June. The number of home sales rose just 0.5% year over year compared with a 6.1% increase nationally. That ranked Jacksonville 32nd among the 40 largest U.S. markets for annual sales growth, well behind stronger Florida peers such as Miami, up 14.1%, Orlando, up 6.6%, and Tampa, up 3.8%.
Condo sales were the standout, increasing 28.9%, but overall Jacksonville’s sales momentum was modest with 14.5% decline in townhome sales and a flat year-over-year trend in single-family home sales. Homes spent about 67 days on the market, four days less than a year earlier, signaling a slightly faster pace of transactions.
Jacksonville ranks last in the nation’s largest markets for inventory following a steep year-over-year decline in listings
The Jacksonville market experienced a broad-based decline in inventory in the past year, leading to its last-place ranking among the nation’s 40 largest housing markets for inventory growth. The number of homes for sale tightened across the market, with sharp annual declines across every housing type compared to the prior year.
But demand remained healthy relative to supply, and with home sales up in the past year, Jacksonville is likely moving toward a more balanced market with less downward pressure on pricing.
