St. Johns County Market Report

February 2026 Housing Update

The start of a new year always brings renewed attention to the real estate market, and January 2026 offered valuable insight into current conditions across St. Johns County. By looking at key indicators—closed sales, days on market, active inventory, and months supply of inventory—we can better understand how the market is functioning and what buyers and sellers should expect moving forward.

Below is a breakdown of market activity by property type.

Single-Family Homes – February 2026

The single-family home segment in St. Johns County continues to show steady activity and healthy transaction volume.

Closed Sales
A total of 275 single-family homes closed in January. This level of activity reflects continued demand, even as buyers remain mindful of interest rates and affordability.

Days on Market
Homes averaged 64 days on market, indicating that well-priced and well-presented properties are still moving at a reasonable pace. Marketing strategy, pricing accuracy, and property condition remain key drivers of how quickly a home sells.

Active Inventory
There were 1,612 single-family homes actively on the market at the end of January. Inventory levels have been gradually improving, giving buyers more options and increasing the importance of strategic positioning for sellers.

Months Supply of Inventory
The market reported 5.9 months of supply, which suggests a more balanced environment compared to the extremely tight inventory conditions seen in prior years. This balance often creates opportunities on both sides of the transaction, provided expectations and pricing align with current data.

Condominiums – February 2026

The condominium market operates under its own dynamics, influenced by factors such as association fees, insurance considerations, and investor activity.

Closed Sales
In January, 30 condominium units closed in St. Johns County. While overall volume is naturally lower than single-family homes due to the smaller housing stock, transactions continue to occur steadily.

Days on Market
Condominiums averaged 85 days on market, reflecting a pace that allows buyers time to evaluate financing, association documents, and overall value before making decisions.

Active Inventory
At the end of the month, 260 condominium units were actively listed, providing a range of choices across price points, communities, and coastal versus inland locations.

Months Supply of Inventory
The condominium market reported 8.7 months of supply, indicating a market where preparation, presentation, and pricing strategy play an especially important role in achieving a successful sale.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

January’s data shows a market that is active, measured, and increasingly data-driven. Buyers have more options than in recent years, while sellers who position their homes correctly are still achieving strong results.

Success in today’s market is less about timing the market and more about strategy—pricing, marketing, negotiation, and presentation all matter more than ever.
