Sales are flat month over month, and year over year, so the that’s good news. The lowest end of the market is down both month over month and year over year, which is disheartening to say the least. The high end of the market is up, which indicates the existence of either jumbo loan buyers, or deep pocket buyers, which is a good thing. Days on market is flat on the short side, but up somewhat (understatement) on the high side. mirroring both Jacksonville & Neptune Beach. Look at lowest price sold, and the increases year over year; combined with manageable inventory, this is an indicator of a recovering real estate market.
Atlantic Beach is the northernmost of our beaches communities here in the Jacksonville Beaches area, and many residents enjoy the pedestrian feel of the town, with Town Center’s restaurants and shops so close by.
Properly priced and properly presented properties are STILL selling – currently, the Jacksonville area has 9.70 months of inventory (housing supply), right now and homes can and do sell in very few days on market. Atlantic Beach has 8.13 months of inventory as I write this post.
