If you’re wondering what’s happening with home prices and sales in St. Johns County, the latest data shows a market that is cooling slightly but still holding its value.
The median home price in St. Johns County ended 2025 at $550,000, down less than 1% from the prior year. This small dip suggests prices are leveling off rather than falling, following several years of strong growth. On a per-square-foot basis, prices averaged $245, also down slightly from 2024.
Homes are spending more time on the market:
Median days on market: 49 days, up from 44 last year This means buyers are taking more time to decide, and sellers may need to be more patient—or more flexible on price.
Both buying and selling activity slowed in 2025:
Closed sales: Down nearly 10%
Pending sales: Down about 8%
New listings: Down almost 4%
This points to a quieter market overall, with fewer people jumping in on either side of the transaction.
The market is no longer as competitive as it was during the peak years:
Only 7.2% of homes sold above asking price, down sharply from last year
Sellers received about 97% of their list price, slightly less than in 2024
Multiple-offer situations still happen, but they are less common than before.
The Home Affordability Index rose to 51, indicating modest improvement. While homes remain expensive, buyers have slightly more breathing room than they did a year ago—likely due to price stabilization and changing market conditions.
Buyers have more negotiating power, more time to make decisions, and fewer bidding wars.
Sellers can still achieve strong prices, but realistic pricing and good presentation matter more than ever.
St. Johns County’s housing market in late 2025 is best described as calmer, slower, and more balanced. Prices remain high by historical standards, but the frenzy of recent years has eased—creating a healthier environment for both buyers and sellers moving into 2026.
