  • The Top 5 Things to Know About the Fernandina Beach, FL Real Estate Market This Month,Colleen Gerke

    The Top 5 Things to Know About the Fernandina Beach, FL Real Estate Market This Month

    Did you know the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate in our area is just shy of 8%? We’re starting to see the effects of that mortgage rate here in Northeast Florida. I’m Colleen Gerke of Engel & Volkers First Coast here on Amelia Island, and here are the Top 5 things you need to know about our local real estate market this month: #1 – The average sales price of a single-family home in the Fernandina Beach, FL area continues to decline. The current average sales price of a home in our area is $560,375. This is down 8.5% compared to one year ago, and down 9% from the average sales price of $612,124 we saw a month ago. #2 - Active inventory of homes available to purchase remains steady. There’s lots of talk in the news that inventory of homes available for purchase is low. In our area, there is a 2.7-months supply of homes listed active for sale, which is about what it has been for most of the year. #3 - Pending inventory of homes under contract and new pending sales has rapidly declined. While the number of homes available for purchase has remained steady, the number of homes pending sale – or Under Contract – has decreased by 45% compared to this time last year.  New pending sales have also decreased by 26%. These are key indicators that the real estate market is starting to slow down. #4 - Homes also are taking longer to go Under Contract and ultimately sell. In September 2023 the median time to go Under Contract was 48 days, and the median time to sale was 135 days. This number has continued to increase throughout the year. A year ago, the median time to contract was just 23 days and homes were selling in 74 days. #5 - More buyers are using mortgages to purchase homes in the area. While interest rates have increased to some of the highest rates we’ve seen this year, surprisingly more buyers are using loans to pay for their home purchase in September 2023 30% of homes were paid for in cash. This is down from 37% of homes being paid for in cash a year ago. That said, no one has a crystal ball and can for sure tell you exactly what the real estate market is going to do going forward.
