How busy is the local market? Here are the numbers.
Here are this week's local market numbers and a quick insurance note, followed by a few things to do around Orange Park, our latest video, and some homes for sale near you, including five new listings.
What the local market did this week
If you are weighing a cash sale against a listing, it helps to know how busy the market is. Here is how many homes came on the market, went under contract and closed in the last 7 and 30 days.
| Area | Period | New listings | Pending/under contract | Closed | Median sold price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duval County (Jacksonville) | Last 7 days | 384 | 135 | 205 | n/a |
| Duval County (Jacksonville) | Last 30 days | 1,510 | 649 | 1,038 | $318,995 |
| Clay County | Last 7 days | 78 | 31 | 55 | n/a |
| Clay County | Last 30 days | 346 | 171 | 254 | $340,000 |
| Putnam County | Last 7 days | 20 | 13 | 15 | n/a |
| Putnam County | Last 30 days | 114 | 42 | 72 | $240,000 |
| St. Augustine | Last 7 days | 154 | 44 | 62 | n/a |
| St. Augustine | Last 30 days | 533 | 234 | 376 | $465,000 |
Residential listings in realMLS (Flexmls), counted Oct. 23, 2026 at about 4:35 p.m. ET. Last 7 days = Oct. 16 to Oct. 23; last 30 days = Sept. 23 to Oct. 23. "St. Augustine" covers St. Johns County listings with a St. Augustine city name. Duval County includes Jacksonville. "Pending/under contract" counts listings that went pending in the window, including those that have since closed. It leaves out listings marked active under contract, so it runs a little low. Closings are often recorded a few days late. Median sold price is for the 30-day window only, so the 7-day rows show n/a. Price-cut counts were not part of this pull, so they are not shown.
Last month by county
| September 2026 | Median sale price | vs. August | Closed sales | Median days on market | Active listings | Months of supply |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duval County | $345,000 | up 3.6% | 830 | 29 | 3,139 | 3.8 |
| Clay County | $355,000 | down 4.1% | 219 | 48 | 954 | 4.4 |
| St. Johns County | $568,750 | down 0.5% | 390 | 42 | 1,456 | 3.7 |
| Putnam County | $291,250 | up 2.2% | 34 | 31 | 224 | 6.6 |
| Nassau County | $496,500 | up 9.3% | 96 | 43 | 434 | 4.5 |
| Northeast Florida (6-county region) | $399,000 | up 1.1% | 1,581 | 36 | 6,287 | 4.0 |
Single-family homes, September 2026. Source: Northeast Florida Association of REALTORS®, Oct. 8, 2026. "n/a" means the release did not give that figure.
Mortgage rates eased a little. Freddie Mac's 30-year fixed average was 7.32% on Oct. 22, 2026, down from 7.40% the week before and up from 6.19% a year ago (Freddie Mac PMMS).
Insurance note
Citizens Property Insurance paused new policies statewide on Oct. 7, 2026 because of Tropical Storm Isaias and lifted the pause on Oct. 10 (Citizens, Oct. 7; Citizens, Oct. 10). A pause like that can slow a sale when a buyer still needs coverage. Flood insurance generally starts 30 days after purchase, with some exceptions (FEMA FloodSmart).
