NEFAR Market Stats for December Show Low Interest Rates and Incredible Housing Values

January 25, 2010

Posted by in Northeast Florida Market Trends

I have to admit I am not sorry that 2010 has arrived and 2009 is behind us. I do believe the worst is over for real estate in St. Augustine, FL.

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market statistics show we had more closings and pending sales in 2009 than in 2008. We had 14% more closings with a total of 14,381 and 25% more pending sales for the year with 15,836.

The prices continued to drop during 2009. The median price for the year 2009 was down 15%. The average price for 2009 was down 19%. The December average and median price did drop slightly from the November numbers, but I still say the prices are stabilizing in our homes in St. Augustine.

I looked at the data for the 32092 zip code which includes World Golf Village and the surrounding communities. The activity for 2008 and 2009 was about the same. There were 596 transactions for 2009.The average price for homes in the 32092 zip code was $233,370 which was approximately a 16% decrease from 2008. There has been about a 30% decrease in average sales price since the peak of the market in 2006. Read more

The Davidson Companies Celebrate 2009

Posted by in Awards

DSCN0349I just posted a blog recognizing all of our agents’ accomplishments in 2009, but we have to talk about our staff and how great our awards banquet was this year!

We put together a silent auction for the event and almost every agent and staff person donated something – we got a variety of services and gifts. The most popular items weren’t the IPOD or Flip Mino Video camera; they were dinner at Pauline and Woody Cake’s house, a day of skeet shooting with Jim and Sherry Davidson, and a Cuban dinner for 4 at Ed and Candy Gil’s.  It just shows how much we really are a family at Davidson, where we actually want to spend time together outside of work!

Every item given was claimed and it was really cool that people donated things that meant so much to them, like Shirley Barber, Master Gardener, donating a beautiful Agave Parryi plant or Juana Husted giving an amazing framed photograph she took in Australia. What a great night!

I mentioned before that Davidson Realty’s goal is to “Value People First…Before, Over and Above Everything Else”, which is why Rick Pariani took home the award for “Most Exemplifies our Core Values”. LizAnne Rung always “Values People First” and Cindy Vaughn and Mattie Zebendon go “Above and Beyond” for The Davidson Companies. Read more

The Davidson Companies Not Only Survived, But Shined in 09!

DSCN0363I don’t know if it was the large crowd of agents and staff that showed up to our company awards banquet or the survivor theme that made it so fun, but we all had a great time celebrating our hard work in 2009!

The night started off by recognizing people that have been with the company for five years; Lyn Sappington, Dottie Lay, Bob Lay, Jeannie Sockwell, Doug Duggan and Laura Hendricks. The company would not be the same without them!

Davidson Realty’s mission is to “Value People First…Before, Over and Above Everything Else”, so we thought it would be perfect to acknowledge the people in our office that do that best! The agents awarded were voted on by all our agents and staff. Beverly Morse and Dottie Lay were honored as “Most Exemplifies our Core Values”. Carol vonRabenstein was awarded “Values People First” and Mirtha Barzaga was recognized for going “Above and Beyond” for anyone who needs it.

Pauline Cake was recognized for over 5 million in closings and Dottie Lay for over 4 million in closings. Doug Duggan, Carol vonRabenstein, Ted Tyndall, and Jock Ochiltree had over 3 million in closings. And, Jennifer Todd, Mirtha Barzaga, Beverly Morse, and Suzy Evans got over 2 million in closings. All their hard work is truly paying off! Read more

Get a Jump Start on Your New Years Resolution

Doug DugganInclude me as one of the many who have started counting calories in an effort to lose a few pounds this new year.  Less than a week in, and I could certainly use some advice, motivation and frankly, a kick in the tush.  That’s why I’ll be hightailing it to Doug Duggan‘s Health & Fitness seminar on January 21st and hope you will, too.  A former Olympic weightlifter, Doug will cover a variety of fitness topics, including how to fit fitness into a busy lifestyle, and how to achieve a balanced physical fitness program.

Most of you know Doug as an experienced real estate pro, but you may not know that he  competed as a Weightlifter from 1955 to 2000, and spent 11 years as a certified personal trainer and owner of a gym in St. Simon’s Island, Georgia. Read more
