Since 2016, the Landmark family has graciously been a major sponsor for Davidson Cares Clay Day at the highest level. Landmark Title, through their nonprofit division, called The Landmark Foundation, proudly supports Davidson Cares. “We are honored to be a part of their annual charity shoot. We appreciate all the Davidson Companies do on a continuous basis to give back to the community they serve,” share David Heekin, President and Founder of Landmark Title. “Ten dollars from each of our closings go to The Landmark Foundation which allows us to donate to worthy causes such as Davidson Cares.”

 

The relationship between the Davidson Companies and Landmark began in 2009 during the recession when David Heekin provided invaluable knowledge in short real estate sales to Davidson Realty and their clients. During that time, Heekin provided training and served on panels to help educate others in the real estate industry about short sale transactions. This partnership only continued to grow from there. In 2013, when William Li joined the Landmark Title team as Vice President, Landmark Title rented executive suites in the Davidson Realty office because their business was expanding so rapidly. Li frequently joined the Davidson Realty team for sales meetings, training sessions, and always made himself available as a resource to Davidson Realty agents. 

 

“Landmark has evolved so beautifully over the years and has grown into a large and successful title company. Through The Landmark Foundation, their team has continued their generosity to the community by supporting various worthy causes,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. 

 

Davidson Cares Clay Day is proud to have the support and sponsorship from Landmark Title as they continue to support local charities. To learn more about Landmark Title, visit their website at www.landmarktitle.com or call (904) 998-9733.

Posted by in Events, News

Thursday, February 17 was an exciting day not only for the Davidson Companies but for the entire St. Johns County community as the ground was officially broken on the new WGV Office Park development!  Located at the entrance of the King & Bear, this five-building office park will total more than 44,000 square feet of much-needed office space in the area.

 

St. Johns County Commissioner, Jeremiah Blocker joined Davidson Realty and community supporters to celebrate the groundbreaking ceremony. During his remarks, Blocker shared his enthusiasm for the project, “This is what makes St. Johns County great. It’s businesses like this. So many people are going to have their dreams realized through this effort. I’m honored to have the Davidson family as friends. Thank you to them for everything they do for the community.” 

 

The anticipation for this groundbreaking has been building ever since the development was conceived. “We are incredibly excited to kick off this amazing project. We believe this will be another great addition to the World Golf Village. This project will bring much-needed services to our community” shares Sam Davidson, Realtor® at Davidson Realty and Vice President of Special Operations for Davidson Development. The addition of the WGV Office Park will provide the residents of World Golf Village a greater opportunity to work close to home and serve their friends, family, and neighbors. 

 

Occupants of the office park will have a space built to last as the buildings will have concrete block walls and Hollow Core System roofs. They will also be just across the street from Publix-anchored Shoppes at Murabella and a surrounding community that is growing fast both residentially and commercially. This project has been designed with spaces starting at 1,120 square feet and going up to 12,000 square feet, which allows for the ability to accommodate companies of all sizes.

Northeast Florida Real Estate Market Update

February 25, 2022

Posted by in News, Northeast Florida Market Trends

“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.” Og Mandino

 

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market review shows some moderation in median sales price increases since November. The median sales price of $320,000 is still 25% higher than last January. Most economists are predicting 3% to 5% price increases nationally this year.

 

The percentage of closings over list price has also stabilized for a few months at around 30% of closings over list price. We are beginning to see more sellers pricing their homes substantially over market price. Those homes sit on the market longer than the homes priced correctly.

 

The 2,126 closed sales are down 8% from last year and the 2,857 pending sales are down 3%. You may recall that December 2020 and January 2021 had inflated post-COVID lockdown demand. I would like to add that we are seeing new construction closings getting pushed out due to supply constraints and labor shortages. Additionally, low inventory is still holding back many buyers.

 

There is active inventory of 3,105 counting all 9 property types which is down 35.1% from last year. There is active inventory for single-family homes of 2,389 for our entire market including 6 counties.

 

The builders are trying to keep pace with demand. January 2022 had 1,457 permits which set a record for the number of permits issued in a single month. The annual total of permits in 2021 was 16,138 compared to 12,555 in 2020.

 

A recent article from Lawrence Yun with the National Association of Realtors stated “Home sales are at their best in 15 years. Once all the data are tallied up, more than 6 million existing homes and about 800,000 newly constructed homes will have been sold in 2021 – the best performance since 2006.”

 

To sum up, demand is still very strong, supply is very low and prices haven’t been rising as quickly in the last few months.

 

Thank you for all the support and referrals! If you know anyone we can help to sell, buy or rent, please let me know.

Davidson Realty is constantly growing as we help individuals and families achieve their real estate dreams. “Davidson Realty is proud to be one of the top real estate brokerages in Northeast Florida. Our focus on people first above all else sets us apart,” shares Sherry Davidson, President of Davidson Realty. The team at Davidson Realty is proud to introduce three new members to our family! 

 

Jennifer Collazos

Jennifer Collazos was born in Colombia and is bilingual in English and Spanish. Jennifer understands the importance of speaking both languages and has instilled that value in her daughters. Jennifer currently lives in Fleming Island with her husband and two young daughters. Together they enjoy bicycle rides and visiting the vast array of restaurants that Fleming Island has to offer.

 

Before moving to the sunshine state, Jennifer lived in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. She fell in love with real estate a few years ago when she helped her parents purchase a home after going through a financial crisis. The joy her parents felt of finally owning a home and getting back on track was priceless for Jennifer.

 

Jennifer is committed to supporting her clients, making sure they are well represented and is focused on a successful outcome in every transaction.

 

Jennifer holds a Marketing degree and utilizes her education to help her clients. With her knowledge in advertising coupled with her passion for helping others and attention to detail, Jennifer is a tremendous resource for those interested in buying or selling a home. 

 

Michele Wiedenhaefer 

As an agent, Michele Wiedenhaefer brings a strategic yet personable approach to the home buying and home selling process. Michele attributes her success to not only her passion for real estate but also to her intuition regarding the psychology of buying and selling properties.

 

One of Michele’s unique skillsets helps clients transform their current home into a “market ready” property that will entice buyers across the board. Years of staging and recreating spaces throughout her own projects have helped her develop a knack for achieving the right look and feel for any home within a desired saleable market.

 

Michele has spent the last ten years working in all facets of the real estate industry. Prior to becoming a real estate agent, she enjoyed many years in the home renovation industry. She worked with property investors and was involved in the complete process of buying and selling more than 100 homes. Michele’s specialty was finding outdated properties and overseeing the renovation and transformation process of the properties to create warm, inviting spaces ready for eager buyers.

 

Michele has the distinct ability to guide sellers through a smooth, stress-free sale of their current home and to obtain the very best value for that home. Furthermore, she helps assist buyers in the procurement of their next dream home by using her acquired home-buying skills to purchase the absolute best property for the least possible outlay.

 

Julia Dean

Julia Dean was born and raised in Jacksonville (Mandarin), Florida, and has lived in St. Johns County for eighteen years. Julia has spent most of her career in corporate sales management but has always had a passion for real estate. Julia and her husband have purchased several homes, investment properties, and vacant land over the years which lead her to make the move to become a full-time real estate agent. Julia believes in providing excellent customer service and building strong relationships. She will guide you through the process from start to finish whether it is buying your first home, selling your current home, buying your dream house, or finding an investment property. She will go above and beyond in every transaction and is looking forward to working with you.

 

Julia and her husband Kevin love the outdoors, football, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. On the weekends you will typically find her somewhere on the water, either fishing or boating with her husband and their two Labrador retrievers, Kady and Kinley.
