Jacksonville FL Real Estate Market Statistics – What to Know

April 28, 2010

 | 
Posted by in Northeast Florida Market Trends

Almost every article I read about the Jacksonville FL real estate market compares the current month activity to the same month a year ago. When I try to understand what is happening in the current market, I am much more concerned with trends from the last few months than the percentage change from last year.

My favorite 3 trends from the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats are:

1. The median sales price and the average sales price have increased.

The prices of St. Augustine FL homes and Jacksonville homes continue to show signs of stabilizing after falling for the last couple of years. The average sales prices for the NEFAR area for January, February and March were $162,752, $166,812 and $169,944. Read more

Jim Davidson Sees Historical Parallels in Real Estate Market’s Ups & Downs

April 16, 2010

Jim Davidson web CJim Davidson, Master Developer of World Golf Village, has been through tough real estate markets before. In fact, he finds the parallels between the real estate market woes of the 1970s and today especially compelling.  Back then, his no-nonsense, analytical approach to value assessment and debt-to-equity balancing helped real estate developers navigate through tough times. That same approach has ensured Davidson Development’s ongoing success even through recent tough times.  It’s also sought after by other developers who consult Davidson to fix their own balance sheets. According to Davidson, “Everyone knows the real estate industry has cycles. That’s no secret.  The key is realizing that every new cycle is a game changer. So you must be able to look at every project with a fresh, focused eye.” Read more
