Posted by in News

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors Market Stats for May 2020 shows a dramatic increase in sales in May (3,063) compared to April (2,368). Pending sales were down 2.6% from last May, but it appears the housing market reached its low point during mid-April and began to strengthen in May.

 

Closed sales of 2,244 were down 33% from 3,346 last May which is not surprising since people were staying at home late March and most of April and not out looking at homes and writing contracts that would close in May.

 

The average sales price of $287,842 is up 5% over last May and the median sales price of $247,484 is up 7%. The prices have not dropped during COVID because there is more demand for homes than supply of homes for sale.
