In this video Michael Braddock reviews the September 2022 real estate market data report from (NEFAR) Northeast Florida Association of REALTORS® released on October 10, 2022.
The Median Sales Price and Price Per Square Foot for Duval county single family homes were each down 1.5% for the month. The Median Sales Price in September was $335,000. Buyers have seen some favorable shifts in the market with 19.7% of homes Closed Over List Price. That is down by 20.7% for the month. List Price Received was down by 1.1% for the month coming in at 97.4% of closed sales, indicating a slight tick up in home affordability in Jacksonville.
For the month there were 814 Closed Sales, down 19.6% from the previous month. Pending Sales continue to trend lower down by 16.4% for the month and 34.9% for the year. The reduction of transactions and pending sales is a clear sign that the market is softening, yet this has only slightly affected pricing.
Buyers should rejoice as they have more options to choose from as Active Inventory jumped 15.7% for the month to 2,565. That’s an increase of 80.6% increase for the year. The current Months Supply of Inventory is at 3.2, which is about the pre-pandemic average.
The benchmark fixed rate on 30-year mortgages topped 6 percent in September, its highest level since November 2008, according to Bankrate’s national survey of large lenders. Since then as of Wednesday, October 12, 2022, the national average 30-year fixed mortgage APR is 7.09% and the average 30-year fixed refinance APR is 7.09%, according to Bankrate's latest survey of the nation's largest mortgage lenders.
