Clay County, west of Jacksonville and anchored by Orange Park, Fleming Island, and the fast-growing Oakleaf corridor, remains the value alternative to Duval and the coastal counties. The median price edged up to $365,000 in April and the county held the tightest months-supply of the four core counties, even as regional inventory rose. Demand stays steady in newer construction and the top Clay school zones.

★ Momentum Forecast
Clay's tight 3.5-month supply has supported price stability, but with regional inventory rising and pending sales falling, the value-county tailwind has limits if rates stay high through 2026. Expect flat-to-modest price movement, with the steadiest demand in newer Oakleaf inventory and the established Fleming Island school zones. Pricing discipline matters more than it did a year ago, and builder incentives in the newer communities will keep pressure on resale pricing.
