The headline numbers, right now.
As of the April 2026 NEFAR report, the median single-family sale price across the six-county Northeast Florida region was $390,000, down 1.3 percent from the prior month and modestly lower year over year. Homes sold in a median of 35 days, active inventory was 7,098 homes (up 10.7 percent), and the region held about a 3.8-month supply. The short version: the market is normalizing toward balance, with more choices for buyers and still-steady activity for sellers.

By county.
Northeast Florida is not one market. St. Johns County runs far above the regional median while Putnam and parts of Duval sit well below it. Here is the April 2026 single-family picture by county.
| County | Median price | Median days on market | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| St. Johns (St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee) | ~$558,000 | ~47-64 | Most expensive in the region; top-rated schools |
| Nassau (Fernandina, Amelia Island, Yulee) | ~$490,000 | ~51-56 | Coastal premium, growing fast |
| Clay (Orange Park, Fleming Island, Green Cove) | ~$365,000 | ~47 | Value county, strong sales growth |
| Duval (Jacksonville) | ~$332,500 | ~33 | Largest county, fastest-moving homes |
| Putnam (Palatka) | ~$187,000-$229,000 | ~34-39 | Most affordable, most months of supply |
Property taxes and insurance.
Two costs decide affordability in Florida as much as price does, and both vary widely across Northeast Florida.
Property taxes. Effective rates generally run from about 0.85 percent to 1.30 percent of assessed value depending on the county, city, and whether a community carries a CDD, with most areas near 0.9 to 1.0 percent. Florida has no state income tax, and for a primary residence the homestead exemption plus the Save Our Homes cap limit how fast the assessed value can rise each year. The detail by ZIP is in our property tax by ZIP guide. For the 2026 reform proposal, see our Florida property tax proposal explainer.
Insurance. Homeowners insurance commonly runs from about $2,000 to $5,500 a year for a typical single-family home, with coastal and flood-zone homes higher. Roof age and home age are the biggest drivers, and flood insurance is a separate policy from a standard homeowners policy. The breakdown by area is in our insurance cost guide, and flood exposure is mapped in the flood zones guide.
How Momentum compares.
Market-wide statistics describe the average outcome. The agent changes the result. Year to date, Momentum Realty listings sold at a 97.98 percent sold-to-list ratio against a RealMLS market average closer to 96.73 percent, and in a median of 64 days against roughly 72 for the market. On a $400,000 home, the difference in sold-to-list alone is about $5,000.
Regional and county medians are useful for orientation, not for pricing a specific home. A median blends new construction and resale, waterfront and inland, updated and original, across hundreds of square miles. The right number for your home or your offer comes from recent comparable sales in your specific neighborhood, which is what a local agent provides.

Market figures come from the Northeast Florida Association of REALTORS (NEFAR) and RealMLS monthly releases, the most recent being April 2026 at publication, and are updated monthly. Tax, insurance, migration, and affordability context draws on the U.S. Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Freddie Mac, and the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. Every figure names its source and carries a last-updated date. Medians describe the region or county and are not a substitute for a comparable-sales analysis of a specific property.
