Jacksonville, Florida Real Estate Market Update: 2024 Q1
The market peaked almost two years ago, but the shift to a buyers market has been incredibly slow. We are finally seeing some real traction as the market flattens and foreclosures return.
The Jacksonville market is finally leveling out.
Sales prices flatten and inventory starts to increase.
After peaking in spring of 2022, Jacksonville, Florida real estate sales prices dropped slightly and are leveling out. Inventory continues to increase and is heading back to pre-pandemic levels.
Short sales and bank owned foreclosed homes are also returning to pre-pandemic levels.
Covid-19 moratoriums and mortgage rescue programs have kept foreclosures at record lows for several years, but that time is coming to an end.
The share of short sales and foreclosed homes for sale increased slightly in 2023, but made an even bigger jump this year. They still represent a very small slice of the market at 3% of closed sales, but that number is likely to rise as the year continues.
U.S Foreclosure Activity continues to increase.
