Inventory sits at 21.0 months of supply — heavy by the 3-to-6-month balanced benchmark, and 38% 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 broadly balanced market where preparation decides who wins.

What It Means

Who has leverage right now

BUYER'S SELLER'S 46
Momentum Score
Buyer leverage54
Seller leverage46

Leverage scores are derived from the Momentum Score (supply, demand, speed, pricing power, and trend). Right now the data favors neither side decisively.

Momentum Outlook
  • Prices — heavy supply keeps the pressure on sellers; softening is the path of least resistance.
  • Inventory — tightening over the tracked window; watch whether that holds through the season.
  • Negotiating power — buyers gain ground as 38% of inventory sits under contract.

The calls we’re making from today’s data

Biggest move
Cimarrone ▼ 20%

The sharpest 1-yr median swing among tracked communities. Thin samples can exaggerate swings — verify with a comp analysis before treating it as trend.

Biggest risk buyers are ignoring
$300K–$500K: 9.0 months of supply

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.

Biggest opportunity
Under $300K: 2.2 months of supply

The tightest band — sellers in this range hold the most leverage, and buyers should walk in with financing done and terms clean.

What we’re telling clients today

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.

Plain Answers

The questions people actually ask

Should I buy a house in St. Johns right now?

The data says conditions currently favor neither side decisively in St. Johns — the Momentum Score reads 46/100 with 21.0 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 becoming more affordable?

Yes, modestly — the median sale price in St. Johns is $505,000, down 3.1% versus the prior year, while sellers still capture 96.4% 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?

Among tracked communities with enough sales to measure, the sharpest 1-year median declines are Cimarrone (-20%); Crossings At Cypress Trace Condo (-15%); St Johns Forest (-9%). 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 neighborhoods are most competitive?

Measured by speed of sale, the fastest-moving tracked communities right now are Landings at Greenbriar (8 days); Westwood Park (11 days); Reserve At Greenbriar (14 days) — homes there go under contract well ahead of the market-wide pace of 48 days.

How does St. Johns compare to the rest of St. Johns County?

St. Johns's median of $505,000 runs 2% above the county-wide median of $497,500, and homes here take 48 days to go under contract versus 50 county-wide.

Momentum Realty in St. Johns: our agents closed 54 homes here for buyers and sellers in the last 12 months (23 as the listing brokerage, 30 representing the buyer, 1 on both sides), median sale $627,500 (brokerage closed records through October 2026). Find the right Momentum agent in St. Johns →
