Will The Saint John’s Florida Market Crash? Should Buyers Put Their Plans On Hold?

St. John’s county is a hot real estate market that shows no signs of cooling.

St Johns Florida

As a realtor based in Northeast Florida, I am excited to share with you the strength of the real estate market in St. Johns County. This is one of the most sought-after areas for homebuyers, and for good reason. Here are three key points that make St. Johns County a great place to invest and a steady real estate market in these unpredictable times.

Supply Versus Demand

Firstly, there is an incredible amount of demand for housing in St. Johns County. The growth rate exploded at 5.6% between 2020 and 2021. As of today, we have more buyers than we have inventory available. That means that there are fewer than three months’ worth of active listings on the market – 2.47 as of today March 10, 2023 – to be exact. So, if you are thinking of selling your home, now is a fantastic time to do it. With such high demand, you can be sure that you will get top dollar for your property.

However, if you’re looking to purchase don’t be discouraged…check out my next point.

Pro-Growth City Planners

In St. John’s county, we are lead by pro-growth governing persons. The county commissioners and planners have awarded the builders over 12,000 building permits in the past 12 months alone. This means that there is a lot of new construction happening, and the area is expanding rapidly. As a result, there are plenty of opportunities for you to find the perfect property that suits your needs.

Strong Economy & Optimism

The median household income is over $83,000 per year, making it one of the wealthiest areas in Florida. This means that there are plenty of job opportunities and a stable economy, which is great news for anyone thinking of investing in real estate here. You can be confident that the area will continue to thrive, and your property value will continue to grow with strength in education, medicine, public administration, and manufacturing industries growing here.
