Rates skyrocketed over the last few years. High rent, inflation, insurance companies leaving the state and a property insurance crisis have all contributed to this.“The median prices in the market as in total, as well as the individual markets that we do business in, seems to have stabilized,” Rosener said. “It bumps up a little bit, down a little bit. But, if you average it out, it pretty much stayed the same.
Rosener also says interest rates have leveled off — which, earlier this year, made it hard to afford places to stay.The affordability index fluctuates. NEFAR gave News4JAX data showing where some Northeast Florida counties rank as of August. Duval County came in at 79.5 — a small increase from July at 79. Clay County was at 75 — a 5.6% increase from July. St. Johns County remained the least affordable area to live in the region — with the index at 49.
Inventory is still historically low in our area, and we’re still a ways away from homes being affordable for people making the median family income. But Rosener says the house affordability index inched up 2.9% to a 70 for a single-family home, so he says it’s moving in the right direction. There isn’t an immediate fix to the problem. Rosener recommends reaching out to the Jacksonville Housing Authority if you need to find a home immediately, as well as shopping around with different insurance companies.
