Duval County SFR Market Summary — 2025

Overall trend:
The Duval County single-family residential market in 2025 reflects a modestly cooling but stable market, characterized by slightly lower prices, longer marketing times, and marginally softer buyer competition compared to 2024.

Pricing

  • Median Sale Price: $329,589, down 2.5% year-over-year

  • Median Price per SF: $190, down 2.1% YoY
    These declines indicate mild price softening rather than a sharp correction.

Sales Activity

  • Closed Sales: 10,804, up 0.5% YoY, showing stable transaction volume

  • Pending Sales: 10,786, essentially flat (-0.1% YoY)
    Buyer demand remains present but no longer accelerating.

Market Time & Negotiability

  • Median Days on Market: 35 days, up 12.9% YoY

  • List Price Received: 97.0%, slightly down from 97.2%

  • Sales Over List Price: 12.5%, down from 14.6%
    These metrics reflect reduced urgency among buyers and increased price negotiation.

Supply

  • New Listings: 15,975, up 1.0% YoY

  • Active Inventory / Months Supply: Not reported in this YTD view, but listing growth outpaces price growth, supporting a more balanced market.

Affordability

  • Home Affordability Index: 87, up 10.1% YoY
    Improved affordability suggests easing pressure from prices and/or interest rate stabilization.


Appraisal-Relevant Conclusion

From a valuation standpoint, the data supports:

  • Stable to slightly declining values

  • Increasing exposure times

  • Greater buyer selectivity

  • Reduced likelihood of above-list outcomes

This is consistent with a transition from seller-leaning conditions toward a more balanced market, appropriate for neutral to mildly declining market condition adjustments depending on submarket and property type.
