Northeast Florida continues to stand out as a resilient and opportunity-rich real estate market. The region is seeing improving affordability, steady pricing, and healthy inventory across the region. Together, these factors signal a market that is well-positioned to support both current homeowners and prospective buyers, reinforcing Northeast Florida’s reputation as a desirable place to live, work, and invest going into the new year.

“It is an exciting time to be in the Northeast Florida real estate market.  NAR just published an article naming Jacksonville, FL as one of the Top 10 places in the United States to buy a home in 2026”, says NEFAR President, Mario Gonzalez.

The median sales price for single-family homes in Northeast Florida’s six-county region fell 2.1% to $375,000. This caused the Home Affordability Index* to increase to 73. In November, closed sales for single-family homes totaled 1,374 transactions. Meanwhile, pending sales were at 1,081, which was a decrease of 29.6%. There were 1,790 new listings in the month of November. There was an active inventory of 7,286 properties. The median number of days on the market was 45.

“The median home sale price in 2025 is almost exactly what it was from 2022-2024.  This shows incredible stability in the NE Florida market”, said Gonzalez. NEFAR’s market reports are available at nefar.com.
