I don’t want to be the person who knows it all, but I would like to share with you my insights into the real estate market based on the July statistics produced by the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors.

The local real estate market is going strong. Pending sales for the last 5 months have been higher than they were during the peak market of 2005. There were 2,661 pending sales in July which is 24% higher than the previous July. Pending sales are 20% higher year to date than the previous year to date. Read more

“Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different…” C. S. Lewis

I am seeing solid steady improvement in the real estate market. I much prefer steady improvement over the roller coaster ride we have been on for many years.

The June 2015 Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) market stats show steady improvement in pricing, closings and pending sales. The average sales price in June is $224,387 which is an increase of 6% over the June 2014 price of $210,846. The year to date increases were 4% in 2014 and 6% in 2015. The median sales price is $183,590 and show similar year to date increases of 4% in 2014 and 8% in 2015. Read more

It takes real courage to work in the real estate industry these days. Even though things are very positive at the moment, the last 8 years have had many false starts and there have been lots of ups and downs. Most of the people I know in our industry continue to be cautious.

The April 2015 Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats show a strong spring market. Pending sales, closings and prices are up and the homes available for sale are down. The trends could not be much better. Read more

Spring is here and the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats look strong. The most impressive trend I see is pending sales.

The pending sales are up 22% year to date over the previous year (7,038 compared to 5,766). The most staggering fact is that during the peak of the market in 2005, pending sales reached almost 2,500 for two months and we have approximately 250 more pending sales this March. Read more
