Folks, fewer homes sold in St. Johns County this September, but there were also a lot fewer homes for sale. Compared with September 2025, sales fell from 447 to 414, while active listings dropped by 584. That brought inventory down from 4.77 to 3.74 months, keeping the market tilted toward sellers. The median sale price rose 3.56% to $579,945, and homes averaged 73 days on the market, down from 86 a year earlier. Sellers are holding onto their houses due to the rates they got when they bought it.
What This Means If You’re Buying Right Now
You have fewer homes to choose from than you did a year ago, so it helps to know your comfortable monthly payment before you start touring. When you find a home that fits, look at what similar homes nearby have sold for and how long this one has been listed. Homes sold for an average of 95.3% of their original asking price in September, so there may still be room to negotiate, especially on a home that’s been sitting.
If you want to know what you can actually get in today’s market, I can break that down for you, just message me:
What This Means If You’re Selling
Fewer listings mean less competition, and homes sold closer to their original asking price than they did last September. Still, 73 days on the market is about two and a half months, so give yourself some breathing room if you’re planning a move. When you set your price, look at recent neighborhood sales and the homes buyers can tour right now. If you’re getting showings but no offers, use the feedback to see how your price and condition stack up.
