January NEFAR Market Statistics May Surprise You!

February 22, 2010

Posted by in Northeast Florida Market Trends

Sherry DavidsonIf you have been reading my market analysis for the last few months, you probably think you can skip this one because I have been saying the same thing over and over. Well this month brings a few surprises.

My first surprise is that closed sales for January 2010 were about 40% less than December 2009. There were 1,316 closings in November, 1,365 in December and 834 in January.

This looks like very negative news, but I believe the reason for the decline in closings was mainly due to short sales. We saw lenders approving and closing short sales in December to get them closed by year end. Maybe the holidays were also a factor, but we did not see any short sales making it through the process in January. Read more

Come out on February 23rd to Give Blood & Save Lives!

IMG_5307I don’t think we as a community understand how important giving blood is until someone close to us needs it. Most of us are scared of needles, don’t want to take our time to do it, or have never even thought about giving blood. In reality, it really doesn’t hurt, it takes 20 minutes out of your day and we all need to be aware that giving blood saves lives.

Many of you know that my dad had a liver transplant on June 23rd, 2008, but it would not have been possible without 32 donations of blood. If the blood products are not there when the organ shows up, the transplant will not happen. Can you imagine having the qualified surgeons, nurses, recipient, and the recipient’s whole family waiting at the hospital, but not enough blood to do it? Read more

Is Renting the Answer to Real Estate Woes?

February 15, 2010

Elsie Evans (cropped)Recently I was having a conversation with friends concerning the advantages of renting their property.  After we were finished with our discussion, I decided it might be worthwhile to pass along the information.

My friends have two houses. They live in one and the other is up for sale. However, it is not selling, so they are carrying two mortgages.  At this point, they are not behind in either of their mortgages, but it is a major struggle to stay current and it is getting harder every month to make both mortgage payments. 

I asked them why they don’t rent the house that they’re not living in to help defray their cost. The rental market is absolutely excellent right now and I believe it will remain that way for a long time.  They said their mortgage is $2,000 a month and they can only get about $1,500 if they rent it.
