Local home buying company steps in with flexible solutions in the aftermath of unprecedented insurance spikes, investor exits, and market saturation.
-- The Jacksonville real estate market is in transition, with rising insurance premiums, increasing property taxes, and a growing inventory of unsold homes. The Obi Buys Division of Freedom Home Buyers provides fast, fair, and reliable home-buying options to help local residents and investors manage the shifting landscape.
As insurance rates climb due to heightened storm risks and market volatility, many long-term homeowners—particularly retirees on fixed incomes—are struggling to keep up. “We’re hearing from folks who’ve lived in their homes for decades but can’t handle these insurance hikes,” says owner Obi Dorsey. “It’s tough, but we’re here to take that weight off their shoulders with a quick, no-hassle sale.”
Simultaneously, property tax increases in Jacksonville have put added pressure on landlords and real estate investors, many of whom are now looking to offload properties that no longer produce consistent returns. Obi Buys is increasingly hearing from investors seeking a fast, straightforward exit in a market that’s no longer as predictable.
Short-term rental investors are also retreating as platforms like Airbnb and VRBO experience declining demand. With more properties flooding the market—especially second homes once used as vacation rentals—Jacksonville now has over six months of housing inventory, signaling a shift toward a buyer’s market. This makes it harder for traditional sellers to stand out.
Yet despite these challenges, Jacksonville remains one of Florida’s more stable housing markets. A recent U.S. News & World Report housing forecast notes the city’s continued appeal due to its affordability, strong job market, and overall balanced supply and demand. While median home prices have held around $383,000, listings are sitting longer, with homes averaging 64 days on the market—up significantly from a year prior.
In this cooling but competitive environment, Obi Buys offers a simple alternative for sellers who need to sell their home quickly. The company provides cash offers with no agent fees, no required repairs, and flexible closings that eliminate uncertainty.
“Our goal is to give Jacksonville homeowners and investors freedom from the stress of this market,” Dorsey adds. “Whether it’s rising costs or too much competition listing on the traditional market, we’re here to buy your house as-is and help you move forward.”
Obi Buys remains committed to the local community, delivering honest, transparent solutions that meet the unique needs of sellers in a changing market.
