NEFAR: Clay home sales rocket to record 4,389 during 2020

The Orange Park area, which includes portions of Argyle Forest, Oakleaf and Lake Asbury, saw the most sales with 1,546 sales. Middleburg was second with 1,146, followed by 834 in Green Cove Springs, 688 on Fleming Island and 198 in Keystone Heights. However, Green Cove Springs (26.7%) and Fleming Island (11.9%) reported the biggest increases compared to 2019.
