Inventory sits at 3.8 months of supply — balanced by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 30% of listed homes are already under contract. Prices are down 1.7% versus the prior year, but sellers are still collecting 95.5% of asking. Taken together, the data points to a broadly balanced market where preparation decides who wins.
Who has leverage right now
Leverage scores are derived from the Momentum Score (supply, demand, speed, pricing power, and trend). Right now the data favors neither side decisively.
- Prices — more likely to stabilize than fall sharply. Supply remains below balanced levels even as prices soften; without a meaningful inventory build, further declines tend to be shallow.
- Inventory — building over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
- Negotiating power — buyers gain ground as 30% of inventory sits under contract.
- Mortgage sensitivity — at 4.3× income, this market is moderately sensitive to rate moves; rate relief tends to show up in demand here quickly.

The calls we’re making from today’s data
The sharpest 1-yr median swing among tracked communities. Thin samples can exaggerate swings — verify with a comp analysis before treating it as trend.
The most crowded shelf in the market. Sellers here are competing hardest — which means overpaying in this band is the most avoidable mistake in Duval County right now.
The tightest band — sellers in this range hold the most leverage, and buyers should walk in with financing done and terms clean.
Both sides have a case: buyers should negotiate on days-on-market, sellers should lean on the under-contract rate. Preparation, not the market, decides who wins a balanced tape.

The questions people actually ask
Should I buy a house in Duval County right now?
The data says conditions currently favor neither side decisively in Duval County — the Momentum Score reads 54/100 with 3.8 months of supply. For buyers that means preparation over hesitation: well-priced homes still move fast, but there is more room to negotiate than a year ago. The right timing always depends on your rate, your equity, and how long you plan to stay — not just the market.
Is Duval County becoming more affordable?
Yes, modestly — the median sale price in Duval County is $315,990, down 1.7% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 95.5% of asking price. Softening prices plus normal-length marketing times mean affordability is improving at the margin, though financing costs matter more than list prices for most monthly payments.
Where are prices falling fastest in Duval County?
Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are Holiday Harbor (-41%); Villas At Nocatee (-27%); Venetian On The Ortega (-22%). Note that community-level medians move on small sale counts — a few high- or low-end closings can swing them — so treat these as leads for a comp analysis, not verdicts.
Which Duval County neighborhoods are most competitive?
Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are Mill Creek (1 days); Magnolia Gardens (2 days); The Woods (4 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 49 days.
