Jacksonville FL Named a Top 10 Housing Hot Spot for 2026 (NAR) + 2025 Market Recap

Jacksonville FL Named a Top 10 Housing Hot Spot for 2026

Jacksonville, Florida was just named a Top 10 housing hot spot for 2026 by the National Association of Realtors (NAR)! In this video, I break down what that ranking means for buyers, sellers, and people relocating to Jacksonville FL, plus a 2025 Jacksonville real estate market recap so you know what’s happening with prices, inventory, days on market, and interest rates heading into 2026.

If you’re thinking about moving to Jacksonville from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Michigan, Ohio, New York (or anywhere else), I’ll help you narrow down the best areas based on:
• commute time and lifestyle
• school zones
• affordability and home styles
• 55+ communities and downsizing options
• new construction opportunities (and how to negotiate incentives)

We’re seeing a more balanced market, more choices for buyers, and in many cases seller concessions that can help with closing costs or rate buydowns — which can make buying a home in Jacksonville more achievable than renting.
