Real Estate Is Local: Clay County Home Sales Rose in January 2026 (Despite the Rumors)
This report is for single family homes in Orange Park, Middleburg, Fleming Island and Green Cove Springs Florida.
Rumor has it there’s an 8.4% decrease in home sales for January, but for Clay County that’s not the case. Now, my report is for single family homes, not condos. The reason I don’t include condos is because they simply are not the same type of housing. They don’t perform the same as single family homes, so I like to use data that shows that difference. Clay County showed an increase in homes sales for January 2026. Not a huge amount, but it just proves how real estate is local. Inventory levels came down as well.
