As we progress through 2025, Jacksonville's real estate landscape is undergoing notable shifts. Whether you're considering buying or selling, staying informed about these changes is crucial. Here's what you need to know:


1. Transition to a Buyer's Market

Recent data indicates that Jacksonville has entered a buyer's market, characterized by increased inventory and more affordable options. As of June 2025, the city reported 6.3 months of housing supply, surpassing the six-month threshold that typically signifies a balanced market.


2. Declining Home Prices

The median listing price for homes in Jacksonville has decreased by 3.2% year-over-year, now at $295,000 as of August 2025. This price adjustment provides buyers with more opportunities in the market.


3. Increased Inventory Levels

The Jacksonville housing market has seen a rise in inventory, with more homes available for sale. This increase offers buyers a broader selection and more negotiating power.


4. Mortgage Rates Stabilizing

Mortgage rates have recently dropped to 6.35%, their lowest in 11 months. This decline enhances affordability for buyers, allowing them to consider higher-priced homes within their budget.


5. Investment Opportunities in Jacksonville

Despite the cooling market, Jacksonville remains a strong contender for real estate investment. The city's growing population and economic development continue to make it an attractive location for investors seeking long-term gains.
