“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” Stephen Hawking

 

The real estate market has given us an incredible opportunity to adapt to change over the last few years.

 

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats for April show a slight increase in prices of homes, fewer closed and pending sales and a small increase in inventory.

 

The median sales price for April is $339,995 which is down 2.9% from last April and up 2.4% from March. In the National Association of Realtors first-quarter report, nearly seven out of 10 metro markets had home price gains.

 

Locally, active inventory of 5,938 homes is up 4.5% from March. Many of those homes are new construction and not completed. The supply of existing homes is very low because many homeowners with loans well below current mortgage rates are electing to stay in their homes.

Davidson Realty Welcomes Two New Professional Realtors to Team

May 22, 2023

 | 

With over 30 years’ of experience, Davidson Realty continues to be the dependable name in real estate in Northeast Florida. And with a full complement of the most talented Realtors around, Davidson is a full-service office ready to guide buyers through the home buying process in Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, and throughout St. Johns County. The office is thrilled to announce the addition of two seasoned Realtors, Angela Strauss and Mike Kryachun.

 

Angela Strauss comes to Davidson Realty with more than 25 years’ of experience. She built a solid foundation at the University of Miami, where she earned her Bachelors and MBA. In addition to being a real estate agent in Florida, she is also a real estate broker in California. She has dedicated her career to helping her clients navigate the real estate market, both residential and commercial.

 

 

 

“Two of my great passions in life are home remodeling and gardening,” shares Strauss. “It gives me an edge in the real estate market. I can really look at a property and see its intrinsic value, what it can or can’t be. This is extremely beneficial, whether I’m working with a first-time homebuyer or a client looking to expand their investment portfolio. That’s what I love about being a real estate professional – helping my client find a property that can become their dream home or business.”

 

 

Mike Kryachun’s introduction to the world of real estate was a truly organic process, with all of his previous life experience leading him to Davidson Realty. He was raised with a strong appreciation for foundational skills. His childhood was spent learning all about mechanics from his father. As a young adult, Kryachun went on to hone his skills in framing homes and crafting fine cabinetry, before realizing his talents could best be used in real estate.

 

 

 

“As one of twelve children, I’m used to absorbing a lot of different input all at once,” laughs Kryachun. “I enjoy working with clients to flesh out exactly what their needs are. My background helps me examine a property from a very technical perspective, which in turn means that I can really assist my clients in understanding what they’re looking at and, more importantly, what they can expect.”

 

Davidson Realty was founded in 1989 by Jim and Sherry Davidson. Leaders in the Northeast Florida market, they have a dedicated and professional group of Realtors and support staff to assist clients with their real estate needs.

Congratulations to all our Top Producers for March & Q1 in 2023!

April 24, 2023

March and the end of the first quarter in 2023 came in and out like a lion at Davidson Realty with a flurry of real estate activity.  It’s time to recognize our top agents who made it all happen.  We are so proud of all their accomplishments!  We asked our best this month to dispel a common myth they encounter frequently in their real estate business.   Read on as they share their insights that you may just find useful.

 

 

 

Our Top Producer, Top Lister, and Top Overall Sales for March and the first quarter of 2023 is Mirtha Barzaga with over $9.3 Million in closings and $5.3 Million in overall sales.

 

 

 

 

Mirtha – Myth: Listing a property high to set the stage for bargaining room or listing a home at a much higher price than what comparable reports show, or what your real estate expert provides seems like a good idea to make sure your home sells for all its worth. “Sellers commonly will say, “It’s easier to come down than to go up.” I say this is proven to be the wrong strategy to take.  Homes will bring real market value price. Asking that plus 10% is more likely to cause the home to stay on the market longer, generate less activity and interest, and ultimately sell for less than the market. We call that chasing the market and it’s never a good practice. 

 

 

 

Our Top Producing Team for the March is Vern and Deb Shadowen.

Nocatee: One of the Best Places to Raise a Family

April 10, 2023

 | 

When choosing where to raise a family, there are multiple factors to consider, but it should come as no surprise that one of the main factors that come into play when choosing where to settle down is location, location, location.

 

For those who choose The Sunshine State as the place to call home, one community stands out against the rest – Nocatee. The master-planned community in St. Johns County has been ranked Number One among the Best Places to Raise a Family in Florida, and it’s easy to see why.

 

About Nocatee 

When construction on Nocatee first broke ground back in 2005, there was one goal in mind – to provide residents with a high quality of life. Spanning 14,000 acres and offering various housing options, including single-family homes, townhomes and apartments, Nocatee has quickly become one of the most sought-after communities in Northeast Florida, with over 15,000 residents calling it home.

Congratulations to all our Top Producers for February 2023!

March 27, 2023

 | 

February 2023 continues to be active in the northeast Florida real estate world especially here at Davidson Realty.  Our team continues to be at the forefront helping our customers buy and sell all types of property.  We want to congratulate our TOP Producers for a successful February!  As we spring forward into March, we thought we would ask our top performers for their favorite top spring break “staycation” spots in our area.  Please read on for their “go to” recommendations!

 

 

 

Our Top Producer and Top Lister for February is Bonnie Weinstein with over $1.1 Million in closings.

 

 

 

 

Bonnie – My husband and I believe in staycations! Whenever we find time to take a long weekend, we book an oceanfront room on St. Augustine beach. We come home feeling relaxed and refreshed. However, staycations are not the only way we enjoy the beautiful Old City. Dinner outings in downtown St. Augustine are a classic. My favorite spots to grab a bite are Casa Reina, when I am in the mood for the best tacos in town, and The Raintree, when I am looking for a moonlit date night. Whatever I am doing, I am always happy to be doing it in St Augustine!!
