📉 St. Johns County Days on Market Are Dropping FAST – What It Means for St. Augustine Homeowners

 

If you’ve been watching the St. Augustine real estate market, you’ve likely noticed a shift.

The best move-in-ready homes—the ones that are priced right and presented well—are getting snapped up quickly. Others, however, are lingering on the market.

• In January 2025, the average Days on Market (DOM) for closed sales in St. Johns County was 68 days.

• By April, that number had dropped to just 34 days.

That’s a sharp decline and a clear sign that the spring and summer home buying season in St. Augustine, FL is heating up fast.

But here’s the catch…

When we zoom out and look at all active listings in the St. Augustine area, the story changes.

• A staggering 54% of homes currently listed for sale have been on the market for 60+ days.

• These are what we call stale listings—homes that the market has rejected based on price, condition, or both.

  

💸 Buyers in today’s market are cautious with their money.

 

With mortgage rates hovering around 7%, most buyers aren’t interested in purchasing a fixer-upper only to spend an additional $10,000–$20,000 on repairs and updates. They want value, move-in readiness, and a monthly payment that makes sense.

👉 If you’re thinking of selling your St. Augustine home, pricing and presentation have never mattered more.
