Here's what you can get for $900,000 in Jacksonville, Florida

Jacksonville, Florida, jumped into the national spotlight this week as the GOP announced it was moving a large part of its upcoming Republican National Convention festivities there due to coronavirus restrictions in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The city is in northeast Florida’s “First Coast” region and is crisscrossed by rivers and other waterways. Jacksonville is also the largest city in Florida, and it’s home to major companies including CSX, Fidelity and Winn-Dixie owner Southeastern Grocers.

As the coronavirus slowed the real estate market, home sales in the Jacksonville area in May were down 32.9 percent compared to a year earlier, according to the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors. Sales in the region were down 8.1 percent year-to-date.

Inventory was “extremely low” and homes sold, on average, after 63 days on the market, according to the Realtors group.

However, Jacksonville ranks among the top few recovered markets in terms of both new listings and time-on-market, Realtor.com reported this week. The average sale price in Jacksonville was $220,000 over the past month, a 6.8 percent increase from a year ago, according to real estate firm Redfin.
