November Northeast Florida Real Estate Wrap: Low Inventory More of the Same
1,882 sales for the month with a median sales price of $181,000. Inventory down 21.7 percent from a year ago; only 3.6 months' worth on hand.

Jacksonville, Fla. – November 2016 Northeast Florida housing market 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.

A slight slowing of closed sales has taken place over the past couple of months in Northeast Florida, with November’s 1,882 sales being a bit lower than October’s 1,906 and September’s 2,261. Comparing year over year, however, November 2016 sales were up a small notch; 1.9 percent more than 1,847 in November 2015.

Median sales price for November was $181,000; again a small drop from the $184,900 median in October but up 9.9 percent from a year ago. The average sales price tracked higher, coming in at $223,071 for the month; a negligible difference from October’s $223,390.

Days on market during November was 70.

It’s the same old story in regards to inventory: well below normal. The 8,349 properties at month-end was a 20.1 percent drop from a year ago. Months’ supply was 3.6 for November; 21.7 percent lower than November 2015.

2016 NEFAR President Terrell Newberry said, “Greater demand than supply has been a prolonged state of affairs during 2016. Many buyers are upping their offers to gain their desired home and, as a result, nearly 12 percent of homes sold in November for more than their original listing price.”
