Duval County Real Estate Update: Spring Momentum is Building

by Mike Rolewicz

Are you looking to navigate the Duval County housing market this spring? Our latest March 2026 data is in, and the numbers show a market that is heating up just in time for the traditional spring buying season. Whether you are looking to buy your first home or list your current property, understanding these local shifts is key to making an informed decision.

The Market by the Numbers

Here is a snapshot of the current landscape in Duval County:

Median Sale Price: $304k (Up 4% from last month).
Months of Supply (MOS): 3.5 (Down 20% year-over-year).
Median Days on Market (DOM): 52 Days.
Median Sold-to-List %: 95.5%.

What This Means for Buyers

Duval remains the most affordable market in Northeast Florida, with a median price approximately $54k below the regional average. However, the window of opportunity to buy at "off-season" prices is closing.

Seasonal Floor: The January dip to $293k likely represented the seasonal floor for prices. We saw a healthy rebound in February, signaling the start of the spring activity surge.
Faster Pace: Homes in Duval are moving under contract in an average of 52 days, which is currently the fastest pace in the entire region.
Pro Tip: As competition builds, being pre-approved and ready to move quickly is more important than ever.

What This Means for Sellers

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to list, the market shift is working in your favor.

Seller-Favorable Territory: With only 3.5 months of supply, we are firmly in a seller-favorable market (anything under 4 months favors the seller). This is a significant tightening from the 4.4 months of supply we saw just one year ago.
Consistent Demand: Well-priced homes in good condition are moving consistently.
Rising Activity: Conditions are expected to continue improving as buyer activity builds through April.
