What Buyers Need to Know Right Now
With active inventory running between 4.0 and 5.2 months across most Putnam and St. Johns sub-markets, buyers have real inspection and negotiation leverage again. On resale homes sitting 45+ days on market, we routinely negotiate $5,000 to $15,000 in closing-cost credits or roof/septic repair concessions.
In St. Johns County master-planned communities (SilverLeaf, Shearwater, RiverTown, Beacon Lake), builders are offering 4.99%–5.50% promotional rate buydowns — always compare those against no-CDD resales and Putnam County acreage before signing.
What Sellers Need to Know Right Now
Roughly 27% of active listings have taken at least one price cut because they priced off 2022–2023 peak headlines instead of the last 90 days of closed comparables. Turnkey homes with documented roof age (≤12 years), clean 4-point inspections, and clear flood/septic records still command 97%+ of list price.
