New housing numbers out of Northeast Florida show the median single-family sales price in the region slipped to $390,000 in April. In Duval County, the median sits at $332,500, while Nassau County's median is about $463,770. At that Duval level, a typical buyer could be looking at a modest Avondale bungalow listed at roughly $335,000.
The Northeast Florida Association of REALTORS reports the region's median fell 1.3% in April and that active inventory rose, giving buyers more options. "April's numbers continue to reflect a market that is stabilizing and becoming more balanced across Northeast Florida," the group's president said, according to NEFAR. The same release notes that pending sales eased from spring peaks while days on market ticked down, which local agents say is resulting in steadier, more deliberate negotiations.
Duval: A Century-Old Bungalow Near Avondale
Duval's median of $332,500 lines up with listings such as a corner-lot bungalow at 3655 Randall St in Avondale, which is being marketed at $335,000. The two-bedroom, one-bath, roughly 980-square-foot home was built in 1919 and last sold for $165,000 in 2017, according to Jax Daily Record. Listing notes and photos highlight original touches like a white porch and a fireplace alongside practical updates such as a pantry and detached shed.
Nassau: More House for the Money
Nassau County's higher median of $463,770 buys a substantially larger home than Duval's median, according to the county breakdown from the Northeast Florida Association of REALTORS. One example is a Fernandina Beach listing at 95062 Cheswick Oaks Drive priced at about $479,000, offering five bedrooms and three baths across roughly 2,508 square feet, per its listing on Redfin. The county-to-county gap underscores how much buyer purchasing power can shift inside the same region.
Statewide Context and What to Watch
Statewide, Florida Realtors reports median single-family prices ticked up to $420,000 in April, showing that Northeast Florida's slight softening is not universal across the state, according to Florida Realtors. National housing trackers also point to uneven spring patterns, with some markets cooling while others hold firm, per Realtor.com. That divergence means buyers who cross county lines in Northeast Florida will see markedly different options at similar price points.
For buyers in Jacksonville, the current market translates into a few more choices and some room to negotiate. For sellers, it means sharpening comps and staging to stand out. Local agents say well-priced, well-presented homes still sell quickly even as the market rebalances.
