Northeast Florida Market Stats | June 2026

“Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running.” –  African Proverb

 

This quote is especially meaningful to me this month as we remember my late husband, Jim. We will soon celebrate both his birthday and the anniversary of his passing. Jim loved Africa, and this proverb was one of his favorites.

 

As I mentioned last month, I will continue using the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors® Market Review statistics for most of this update. However, for pending sales, I am using Florida Realtors® data because it includes “active under contract” properties, providing a more complete picture of current buyer activity.

 

The Northeast Florida housing market continued to show encouraging signs in June.

 

The median sales price for all property types reached $333,475, an increase of 1.8% from May and 7.9% higher than one year ago. Median prices have now increased every month since January, demonstrating continued strength in our local market.

There were 3,166 closed sales in June. Closed sales have remained remarkably stable since March, increasing 1.6% over May while being 3.8% below last year’s level.

Getting Your Home Ready to Sell

June 30, 2026

Posted by in News

You’ve made the decision to list your home, but what comes next? We talked with Mirtha Barzaga, one of Davidson Realty’s top real estate agents and a multi-year Top Sales, Top Producing and Top Listing Agent of the Year, to get her top tips on easy, but impactful steps you can take to make your home show to its potential.

 

Minimize the Clutter

 

While you may love little treasures, family photos and mementos scattered around the house, it won’t help sell your home. Clutter makes the home look busy, and personal items make the home feel like someone else’s. Go through the entire home and remove excess furniture, personal items and knick-knacks. Clear countertops, shelves and tabletops of any superfluous items. The goal is to make the rooms look larger and depersonalize the home so that potential owners can see themselves living in it.

 

Cleanliness Matters

 

All the upgrades and maintenance in the world won’t matter if the home is dirty. Deep clean everything, from the floors and baseboards to the ceiling fans and light fixtures, and everything in between. Pay special attention to the kitchen, eating spaces and bathrooms. If you can, this is a great time to hire a professional cleaner. A clean home suggests a well-maintained home.

Northeast Florida Market Stats | May 2026

“Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.” — Max Lucado

 

Last month, for the first time in more than 20 years of writing about the real estate market, I used statistics from Florida Realtors rather than the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) for the Jacksonville market. I would like to explain why.

 

In the NEFAR market review, “pending sales” do not include properties listed as “active under contract.” These are homes that have gone under contract but continue to be marketed until they are very near to closing. Most agents mark these sales as pending only when they are confident the transaction will close. As a result, the reported number of pending sales can fluctuate by several hundred properties.

 

For now, I will continue to use NEFAR statistics for most market discussions while relying on Florida Realtors data for pending sales activity.

Staying Safe This Summer Season

May 26, 2026

Posted by in News

Summer is heating up on the First Coast and with 42 miles of beaches and 216 square miles of inland waterways, St. Johns County is the ultimate destination to cool off. We’ve compiled a list of ways to stay safe this summer season – from swimming tips to getting out of a rip current to beach trip essentials, Davidson Realty has you covered.

 

Beach Day Essentials

 

When you’re getting ready for a day at the beach in St. Augustine or Ponte Vedra Beach, make sure to pack these beach day essentials:

 

  • Sunscreen – You can find it at local surf shops such as Aqua East Surf Shop, Pit Surf Shop, and Surf Station. You might even find Florida-based brands like Florida Squeezed, Vacation, or Sol Being, a local brand sold at the St. Augustine Beach Surf Stop, which offers green tea lotion and soap. Many beachgoers wear watches to accessorize their outfits. The popular Rolex Submariner is perfect for the seaside atmosphere, but the quality of various replicas on the market varies significantly. At the very least, opt for a super clone such as rolex hulk. If you frequently swim in the sea, the genuine watch’s waterproof movement and corrosion-resistant case will withstand sea salt corrosion better than a replica.

 

  • Water + Snacks – After a day in the sun, you’ll need to replenish your energy, so be sure to bring plenty of snacks and several bottles of water (you can freeze them overnight so they thaw slowly during the day). We recommend some non-perishable snacks such as granola bars, fruit sticks, pretzels, and a small box of peanut butter.
