December Market Update

The St. Johns County market is settling into its usual winter rhythm, and overall conditions remain steady. Home prices are holding firm, with a gentle upward trend compared to last year, and buyers are still active—especially in beachside neighborhoods and master-planned communities like Nocatee and SilverLeaf. Homes are taking a little longer to sell than they did in the spring, which is normal for this season, but well-kept properties in great locations continue to attract strong interest.

Inventory has been rising just enough to give buyers more breathing room, but not so much that sellers are losing their advantage. Many builders are leaning into incentives and rate buydowns again, which is keeping new-construction activity lively along the CR-210 corridor and throughout Ponte Vedra. Even with interest rates bouncing around, demand remains steady because people are still moving here for the lifestyle, schools, and quality of life that St. Johns County offers.

As we move through the holidays and into the start of the new year, expect the market to stay stable. Activity will naturally quiet down this month, then pick back up as new listings hit the market and buyers return with fresh energy. If you're planning a move in early 2026, this is a great time to prepare. Wishing you and your family a warm and peaceful holiday season—and as always, I’m here to help you navigate the market with clarity and confidence.
