Selling in Jacksonville? Why My 8+ Years of Experience Matters

The Jacksonville real estate market is always buzzing, and while it remains vibrant, understanding its nuances is more critical than ever, especially if you're considering selling your home. From fluctuating inventory levels to evolving buyer behaviors, navigating these waters requires a steady hand and seasoned expertise.

As a full-time agent in Jacksonville since February 10, 2017, I've had the privilege of helping over 200 families successfully sell their homes. Being in the top 5% of all Jacksonville agents, I understand the intricacies of our local market. In this post, we'll dive into the latest April 2025 real estate data for both Duval and St. Johns Counties and explore why having an experienced agent by your side is your greatest asset in maximizing your home's sale price and minimizing its time on the market.

The April 2025 Market Snapshot (for Sellers)

Understanding the current market is crucial for any successful sale. Here's a brief look at the April 2025 single-family residential market data for Duval and St. Johns Counties, offering insights directly relevant to you as a potential seller:

Duval County: What Sellers Need to Know

• Median Sales Price: $335,000
• Active Inventory: 4,243 homes available, a notable increase of 31.4% year-over-year. This means more competition, making your home's presentation and pricing even more vital.
• Median Days on Market (DOM): 36 days. While still relatively quick, this metric is up 36.5% from last year, suggesting homes are taking a bit longer to go under contract.
• Units Sold: 979 homes sold.

St. Johns County: What Sellers Need to Know

• Median Sales Price: $565,000.
• Active Inventory: 2,444 homes available, an increase of 11.7% year-over-year. This rise in selection means standing out is key.
• Median Days on Market (DOM): 44 days. This figure is up 23.9% from last year, indicating a slightly longer sales cycle.
• Units Sold: 465 homes sold.
  

  In a market showing increased inventory and slightly longer days on market, the value of an experienced real estate agent cannot be overstated. This isn't just about listing your home; it's about strategic positioning, expert negotiation, and seamless execution to ensure you get the best possible outcome.

  This is precisely where my experience comes into play. Since becoming a full-time agent on February 10, 2017, I've dedicated myself to understanding the intricate dynamics of the Jacksonville area.
