The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.” ― Phil Jackson

This quote is true in sports and in business. Our team has shown so much strength lately. It is unusual in our industry to find a team that supports each other to make sure the customer is taken care of no matter what.

In reviewing the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats this month, I want to focus on pending sales, closings and inventory. There were 2,333 contracts written in March which is 15% more than last March. The last time we had that many pending sales was for a period of 3 months in 2005 which was at the very peak of the market. The first quarter pending sales are up 11% over the first quarter last year. Read more

Jacksonville Real Estate Trends for February Show a Normalizing Market

“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” – John Wooden

I thought this quote was appropriate when I read RealtyTrac’s report that Florida is still the number 1 state in the nation in foreclosure activity even though initial filings dropped 24% in February from the previous year. The judicial foreclosure process drags on for 1,095 days on average. Only Arkansas and Hawaii have longer time frames. Jacksonville ranked number 3 in highest foreclosure rates in the nation.

I cannot do anything about the foreclosure process, but I can take advantage of all the buyers looking in our area because of the schools, the improvement in jobs and the brutal winter that most of the country has experienced. Read more
