“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.” Jim Rohn

I mentioned last month that Realtor.com is predicting Jacksonville to be the 6th most improved market for 2017. Trulia posted an article “10 Hottest Real Estate Markets to Watch In 2017” and selected Jacksonville, FL number one. Trulia said “Why is it so appealing? First, there are serious job opportunities. Jacksonville posted a 3.8% job growth rate in 2016, which makes it one of the healthiest markets for employment opportunities in the state. Second, there’s an increasing influx of people — which contributes to the area’s very high ratio of inbound home searches on Trulia by out-of-towners versus outbound searches by locals looking to leave.” It makes perfect sense to me that people would want to live in our beautiful area.

“Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection’’ Winston Churchill

Reflecting on 2016, I remembered new relations with Cuba, several terrorist attacks, the Benghazi investigation, Wikileaks, Hurricane Matthew and the Presidential election. If you are a sports fan, Alabama won the College Football playoffs, Denver won the Super Bowl and then Peyton Manning retired. There were Olympic games in Rio, the USA won the Ryder Cup, and the Chicago Cubs won the World Series. It was an eventful year. Read more

“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” — Albert Schweitzer

Because of you, Davidson Cares raised $30,000 for St. Augustine Youth Services. SAYS does a tremendous job working with boys that have suffered severe abuse and neglect.

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running. -African proverb

I want to share a few trends from the Urban Land Institute (ULI) report, Demographic Strategies for Real Estate looking at the real estate industry over the next 10 years.

“At the moment when you feel like you have reached the point of absolute exhaustion, inspire yourself to take one last step, and that is when you have successfully arrived to the next level.” Master Jin Kwon

This quote really inspires me because it is so rare to see true mastery in sports, the arts and business. It is fun to have college and professional football back and the final days of baseball for this year.

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats for August continue to show a strong local real estate market. The closings and pending sales are up, the median and average sales price are up and the inventory of homes for sale and percentage of distressed properties are down. All of these trends are very positive. Read more
