Housing Market Analyst
Inventory sits at 3.2 months of supply — balanced by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 36% of listed homes are already under contract. Prices are down 1.0% 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 sellers.
- 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 — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
- Negotiating power — sellers hold the leverage while 36% of inventory sits under contract.

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 St. Johns 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.
Sellers: price to the last 60 days of comps, not the peak — well-prepared listings are still commanding strong terms. Buyers: get underwritten now so you can move when the right house hits.

The questions people actually ask
Should I buy a house in St. Johns County right now?
The data says conditions currently favor neither side decisively in St. Johns County — the Momentum Score reads 63/100 with 3.2 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 St. Johns County becoming more affordable?
Yes, modestly — the median sale price in St. Johns County is $500,000, down 1.0% 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 St. Johns County?
Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are East Coast Canal Est (-37%); Sawgrass Country Club (-28%); Buena Esperanza (-26%). 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 St. Johns County neighborhoods are most competitive?
Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are Seabrook Village (5 days); Marsh Creek (8 days); Sawmill Lakes (11 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 54 days.
