they are NOT selling, not just in Jax but all the other metros in FL, because price too high and location is terrible..the right zip codes w/ little inventory sells very well if priced right…makes NO sense to buy new houses in weak zip codes and paying high 200’s to low 300’s per sq ft even if rate buy downs/incentives…builder not doing anyone favors because if price drops $60k, guess what, Ad Valorem drops by $1k annually as well assuming mileage rate is 1.6 ish per $1000 in assessment..
Good info on true cost of resale vs new home but…you should include property taxes and cdd/cfd assessments for a true comparison
Fewer remote jobs, fewer investors, and homes in Jax need an income of about 180k to buy a 500k home, but average income is 64k? People qho live in Jax cant afford hokes that have doubled or more since 2019.
I will say i am looking at new construction as well. Its cheaper, in most cases, than older homes and like you said, they are doing 3.99 or 4.99 interest rates. So many offering huge upgrades. I saw a builder offering a free 80k pool!
We are looking to buy summer of 2026 or 2027, and we will probably buy a new build.
