Jacksonville Real Estate For Sale Has Declined
“Low supply continues to be the story in Jacksonville Real Estate For Sale, as housing inventory in Jacksonville declined for the third straight month, according to data collected by the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors,” so says Derek Gilliam reporter Jacksonville Business Journal.
“There were only 9,290 homes listed for sale in Northeast Florida as of August, which was a decline of 14.3 percent year-over-year. Despite the overall drop, 3,222 new homes were listed in August, which was a 2.3 percent increase year-over-year.
Median sales price increased from $172,945 in August 2015 to $190,750 this past August. The average sales price had an even larger increase from $210,707 to $238,457.
That trend is going on across the country and could be because there’s less homes on the market now than in previous years as the housing market continues to recover.
“Closed sales began to cool for much of the country last month, and conventional wisdom indicates that year-over-year declines are going to be present for the remainder of the year, given the low inventory situation in most markets,” NEFAR predicts in the report.
Is the cooling we are seeing all because of low inventory? What if it is more about the economy, rather than low inventory?
