f interest rates drop as predicted in 2024, Northeast Florida’s residential real estate market could see more sellers as well as buyers as both sides see greater incentive to do deals. Affordability will be another key factor as prices fluctuate. Northeast Florida Association of Realtors data shows the median price of a single-family home rose more than $23,000 from January through December 2023. NEFAR tracks home sale information for Baker, Clay, Duval, Nassau, Putnam and St. Johns counties. The median price began at $360,990 and finished the year at $384,750. It reached a high in July at $395,000. Over the year, the selling and buying advantage switched as the median number of days a house was on the market changed.
