Housing Market Analyst
Inventory sits at 2.7 months of supply — tight by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 36% of listed homes are already under contract. Prices are down 3.1% versus the prior year, but sellers are still collecting 96.4% of asking. Taken together, the data points to a seller-leaning market.
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.
Derived from current St. Johns data, not a prediction or guarantee. Markets move; talk to an agent before acting on any single reading.

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 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.

Should I buy a house in St. Johns right now?
The data says conditions currently favor sellers in St. Johns — the Momentum Score reads 66/100 with 2.7 months of supply. Buyers should come fully underwritten; sellers still set the pace here.
