DSC_0137Pardon our cheering but sometimes you just have to grab the bullhorn and get the word out!  Check out these 5 things to know about our Jacksonville FL real estate company and you’ll understand our enthusiasm.  Don’t get us wrong, things could definitely be better for the real estate market, but we are proud of the following:

1. In the past 12 months, our Agent staff has doubled.
2. We continue to be the biggest lister in World Golf Village, and now we’re the top lister in Palencia too. 
3. Our reach has expanded beyond St. Johns County and St. Augustine to include Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra and even Flagler County.
4. According to the Jacksonville Business Journal, Davidson Realty is now among the top 10 real estate agencies in the area.
5. Most of our Agents now hold CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) designations, so they can shrewdly advise clients on the ins and outs of today’s market, including short sales and foreclosures.

St. Augustine Realtors Take On Fitness Boot Camp

Getting FitDavidson’s St. Augustine Realtors and staff are showing up at the Davidson office at 6:15am. No, this is not a result of new summer hours. No, this is not the Business to Business Coffee. No, we are not selling IPads or IPhones.

What are we doing? A select few are participating in a fitness boot camp. Why only a select few you may ask? Finding participants that are willing to rise before dawn and subject themselves to a grueling workout has been a challenge. The boot camp is run by Fit4You and is open to anyone that would like to join. Under the watchful eye of our instructor Mike and the hungry eyes of our Florida mosquitoes, our “campers” are gaining endurance, agility, balance, muscle tone and an occasional insect bite.

NEFAR Market Trends for May 2010

June 22, 2010

 | 

More than ever, folks have a lot of questions for those of us in the real estate industry. The fact is real estate values impact most people’s lives. I would like to share some statistics about sales, pricing and inventory and my thoughts on the local market.

The pending sales for May 2010 in the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats were down about 25% from March and April but 14% above May 2009 pending sales. Many experts were predicting May sales to decline dramatically because homebuyers can no longer take advantage of the tax credits that were available for contracts signed through April 30, 2010. Our office did not see a decline in May sales.

The median and average sales prices were both up slightly in May over March and April. The median sales price for Jacksonville FL real estate was $139,900 and the average sales price was $175,785. These prices are below May 2009 prices but that should not be a surprise. I look for trends from the previous months. What happened last year is over and I look for current trends. Read more
