Northeast Florida Association of Realtors<\/a>. Homes spent a median of 31 days on the market.<\/p>\nThere were 1,696 closed sales in August, down 10.7% from July, along with 1,788 pending sales and 2,247 new listings. Active inventory totaled 6,103 homes, representing a 3.6-month supply.<\/p>\n
The regional Home Affordability Index increased to 84. An index of 100 means a median-income family has the income needed to purchase a median-priced existing home, based on current interest rates, median income and home prices. Higher numbers indicate greater affordability.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore inventory is changing the conversation in Northeast Florida,\u201d NEFAR President Kim Knapp said. \u201cBuyers have greater choice and the ability to be more selective, while sellers may need additional patience and flexibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
Market conditions varied by county, neighborhood and price point, Knapp said. Sellers who prepare their homes and align the condition with the price are better positioned in the current market, she said.<\/p>\n

NEFAR said its statistics provider updated the way the Home Affordability Index is calculated. Previously, the calculation used the median family income for the Jacksonville metropolitan area regardless of where a property was located. The calculation now uses the median family income for the county where the listing is located.<\/p>\n
