Jacksonville Fl Real Estate Market Report September 2017

Jacksonville Fl Real Estate Market Report September 2017

This report is going to show some side affects from Hurricane Irma on the real estate market in Jacksonville. Last month in August, there were 1,231 homes that sold, where in September we see 888 homes sold. You will also notice that in Sept 2016, there were 1,088 homes sold. We obviously see a decrease in that number. I’ve heard stories of buyers who backed out of a deal, just days before closing, before the storm hit. I think they were afraid they would buy a house, only to see damage or worse, days after due to the storm.  I have not looked at the numbers for October yet, since we are not through the month, but I predict we could see less homes sold in October vs Sept, just for the fact that there have been many homes with roof damage. Waiting for the insurance companies to pay their claims and have a new roof installed can delay closings, or even cause some owners to wait to put their home on the market.
