Northeast Florida Housing Sales Trend: Low Inventory
Market slows in November to 1,729 sales and potential buyers finding less choice. Median sales price is $164,650.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – November 2015 housing sales reports are now posted by the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors on NEFAR.com. Except where otherwise indicated, statistics reflect combined results for single-family residential and condominium properties.
Low inventory is now the big trend in Northeast Florida's real estate market. A balanced inventory is considered to be five- to six-month's worth, so with inventory dropping to 4.0 months on hand (9,210 units) during November, home seekers found less from which to choose. While sellers added 2,425 homes to the market in November, it wasn't enough to raise the final tally to the balanced range.
Closed sales slowed to 1,729; a tad less than November 2014's 1,733 sales but a fair decline from the brisk activity that has dominated the bulk of 2015. Pending sales reached 2,029; a 22.1 percent increase over last November.
Median sales price for the month was $164,650. While this is a 2.6 percent increase over last November, it is a drop from $170,000 in October and $173,000 in September.
Days on market until sale average was 81 days, which was the same as October and only two days less than a year ago.
NEFAR President Sally Suslak said, "The low inventory of homes available for sale in Northeast Florida is being keenly felt. If potential sellers are on the fence trying to decide if now is a good time to sell, the answer is yes!"
