The 11th Annual Jim Davidson’s Clay Day is Back!

For 11 years, Davidson Realty has invited the community to come together on a Thursday afternoon in the fall, to raise money for nonprofits supporting youth and families in need in Northeast Florida. Over lunch and a course of sporting clays, they’ve raised an astounding $1,001,000 in the past 11 years! Last year alone, they raised $130,000! And the goal for 2026? Beat that number.

 

“I’m so proud of everything we’ve accomplished over the last 11 years,” shares Sherry Davidson, President of Davidson Cares and Davidson Realty. “These organizations need our support more than ever, and so this year we’re hoping to raise the most yet! I know we can do it, with the help of our community. We can show how much we care.”

 

The Jim Davidson’s Annual Clay Day is a sport shooting fundraiser in honor of the Davidson family’s patriarch, the late Jim Davidson. This year, the event will take place on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at Jacksonville Clay Target Sports for a day of sporting clays, lunch, friendly competition, exciting raffles, and most importantly, giving back to the community. Money raised from the event will go directly to Builders Care, St. Augustine Youth Services (SAYS), Investing in Kids! (INK!), Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center, Five STAR Veterans Center, Homes for Hope, and Mercy Support Services — helping these organizations run their programming and provide vital services to families and individuals in need.

Northeast Florida Market Stats | July 2026

“You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.”  – Robin Williams

 

As many of you know, I have expressed concerns about the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors pending sales numbers because they do not include properties classified as “active under contract.” To maintain consistency and provide a more complete picture of market activity, I will be using Florida Realtors SunStats data going forward. I will also continue reporting on all property types, rather than limiting reports to single-family homes as many market reports do.

 

According to Florida Realtors® Chief Economist Dr. Brad O’Connor, Florida’s housing market recorded its 11th consecutive month of year-over-year closed sales growth in both major property categories during July.

Statewide, single-family home closed sales increased just over 5% compared to July 2025, while condominium and townhouse sales rose 11%. New pending sales for single-family homes increased nearly 2.5%, marking the 12th consecutive month of year-over-year gains.

Using Landscaping to Create Privacy at Your Home

Your home is your sanctuary, and living in Florida means your yard can be an extension of that same comfort year-round. Whether you’re looking to create a more private retreat for your own enjoyment outdoors or looking to block views from nearby neighbors and buildings, there are many ways to build a lush, vibrant and secluded space that is yours and yours only.

 

Start small! No matter the size of your yard or outdoor space, choosing a defined area helps create privacy fast. Add a deck or stone pavers for an outdoor seating area and cover with a pergola, trellis or canopy. This space can not only provide shade on hot days, but it also doubles as a structure to hang plants or outdoor curtains — or better yet, to grow vines. Vines are versatile, and create vertical dimension and privacy that is both lush and beautiful (and many varieties smell delightful). Bougainvillea, Star Jasmine and Coral Honeysuckle not only tolerate the Florida heat, they’ll also withstand the cooler temperatures of winter in Northeast Florida. Many types of vines grow fast as they climb upward, toward the sun, and with a little tending, your vines will soon provide the coverage you need.

Northeast Florida Market Stats | June 2026

“Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running.” –  African Proverb

 

This quote is especially meaningful to me this month as we remember my late husband, Jim. We will soon celebrate both his birthday and the anniversary of his passing. Jim loved Africa, and this proverb was one of his favorites.

 

As I mentioned last month, I will continue using the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors® Market Review statistics for most of this update. However, for pending sales, I am using Florida Realtors® data because it includes “active under contract” properties, providing a more complete picture of current buyer activity.

 

The Northeast Florida housing market continued to show encouraging signs in June.

 

The median sales price for all property types reached $333,475, an increase of 1.8% from May and 7.9% higher than one year ago. Median prices have now increased every month since January, demonstrating continued strength in our local market.

There were 3,166 closed sales in June. Closed sales have remained remarkably stable since March, increasing 1.6% over May while being 3.8% below last year’s level.
