One thing that is widely reported and is not what this data shows
The common claim: Florida condo inventory has surged because of the post-Surfside reserve requirements.
What these figures show: In July 2026, condo active inventory fell year over year in every South Florida county in this register. Condo weakness appears in median price, days to contract and months of supply, not in a rise in listings.
A driver that is documented and dated: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac eliminated the limited review option for many condo loans on 3 Aug. 2026, and many existing Miami condominium buildings lack FHA approval.
Duval County housing market, July 2026
Prices easing and time on market lengthening — the association calls it a healthier balance, and reports it month over month.
Association MLS data, with a caveat. The source is association-grade but something about it needs stating before you read the numbers. It is stated below.
Read this first. The reporting association publishes month-over-month changes, not year-over-year, and reports Duval as a single figure without a single-family and condo split.

| Median sale price, all property types | $335,000 | -4% against the previous month July 2026 All property types. Change is against June 2026, not July 2025. |
| Median days on market | 28 days | +16.7% against the previous month July 2026 |
| Closed sales, all property types | 909 | -12.7% against the previous month July 2026 |

What the analysts say
July's market reflects a healthier balance for both buyers and sellers. Buyers have more choices, more time to make decisions, and greater flexibility than we've seen in recent years.

Working in Duval County
I am a licensed Florida sales associate and can work anywhere in the state, but Duval County is not one of the markets I am in week to week. For a transaction here I would either work it directly or place you with an agent who is already in this market through The Keyes Company, depending on which actually serves you better — and I will tell you which I think it is.
