“In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or step back into safety.” Abraham Maslow

 

The National Association of Realtors settlement will require growth and moving out of our comfort zone for most Realtors in the country.   However, the team at Davidson Realty is educated, prepared for change and will continue to take the best care of our customers with knowledge and expertise.

 

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats for June 2024 show stability in the median sales price and the number of new listings. Due to the decrease in closed sales and pending sales, the active inventory continues to grow.

 

The growth in available inventory is positive. We have been at low levels of inventory for a long time and buyer demand is very low because of the high interest rates. If mortgage rates drop and buyer demand increases, it will be great to have more properties for buyers to purchase, which should keep prices from rising too quickly.
