Sherry DavidsonThe positive trends that we have seen in the Northeast Florida real estate market are continuing.
• Pending sales and closed sales for September, 2009 have increased over the previous month and the previous year.
• The inventory of homes in Jacksonville, FL is down from last month and last year.
• Prices of homes in Jacksonville, FL are down slightly from last month but the change is much smaller than we have seen in past months.
• Prices of homes in St. Augustine in the 32092 zip code have increased slightly.  The 32092 zip code includes World Golf Village, Murabella, Sevilla, St. Johns Golf and Country Club, South Hampton and many more. The average sales price in 32092 was $179,860 in the first quarter of 2009, $206,254 in the second quarter, and $217,893 in the third quarter.

There is also good news to report regarding short sales. We are handling many short sales and they are complicated and frustrating; however, the process is improving over what we have experienced in the last couple of years.

The total number of active listings or properties available for sale is down 18.1% from last July. Since there are less homes for sale and increased sales activity, there are 13.1 months supply of inventory on the market.

Northeast Florida Real EstateWe are proud to share that we are ranked number seven by the Jacksonville Business Journal for top residential real estate agencies in Northeast Florida. The Business Journal uses value of area houses and lots sold to compile the list each year. In 2008, which wasn’t the best year for real estate sales, our team of 24 agents generated over 100 million in sales!

We believe we continue to do well in this economy because of the work environment we have and the teamwork it promotes.
