Single-family home sales and prices saw notable declines in November, according to the latest report from the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR).
The six-county First Coast region saw a definite drop in housing sales last month. The NEFAR report showed there was not only a decline in home sales compared to October, but in the year-over-year comparison as well.
There were 1,374 closed single-family houses sold across the First Coast region in November. That’s down by 6.9% from the 1,476 homes sold in November 2024. It’s also a steep 20.4% drop from the 1,726 homes sold in Northeast Florida in October 2025.
The housing market on the First Coat seems to be leaning toward buyers in another facet: the price of homes. The median sales price in the region for November came in at $375,000. That’s a 4.1% decline from November 2024, when the median price tag for a home was $390,992. The figure fell from October’s price as well, dropping 2.1% from $380,020.
Active inventory of homes for sale in North Florida, which had been climbing for much of the past year, showed a decline. There were 7,286 homes for sale in the six-county market. That’s down by 3.9% from November 2024’s figure of 7,585 and is a 4.4% drop from October’s number of 7,623.
In the individual county breakout, Duval County, the most populous in the North Florida region, showed similar trends to the regional figures.

It’s also a whopping 22.9% decline from October’s figure of 919 homes sold. Duval’s median sales price did pick up, though, coming in at $330,000.
