The Hutson Companies has been a major sponsor for Davidson Cares Clay Day from the beginning. In 2018, The Hutson Companies committed to matching up to $40,000 as an additional contribution to St. Augustine Youth Services (SAYS), one of the local organizations that benefit from Davidson Cares Clay Day. More than $52,000 was raised that year and the incredible efforts by SAYS to assist at-risk youth were further supported thanks to The Hutson Companies.

 

The partnership between Davidson Realty and The Hutson Companies spans many years. From helping The Hutson Companies sell farmland in Elkton and Hastings to, most recently, commercial land in OakLeaf Plantation, the respect and trust between Davidson Realty and The Huston Companies has formed a thriving friendship.

 

“David and Nancy Hutson are extremely generous and support numerous local charities. They give from the heart and fly under the radar to avoid recognition, but their contributions to the Northeast Florida community are staggering,” shares Davidson Realty President, Sherry Davidson. “David Hutson is a true real estate visionary. He has built homes and developed stunning communities for many years. His work is exceptional and the team at Davidson is proud to call him an industry partner.”

 

The Hutson Companies is known for developing family-friendly communities while being both environmentally and financially conscious. Since 1973, The Hutson Companies has developed dozens of residential communities in Northeast Florida to total more than 20,000 home sites. The Hutson Companies is presently developing projects in Clay, Duval, and St. Johns Counties. 

 

“Davidson Cares Clay Day provides an incredible opportunity for The Hutson Companies to both give back to the community and spend time together outside of the office. We admire the planning of the event. Every year the Davidson family manages to create a relaxed, enjoyable environment for the participants without ever losing sight of why we are there: to help those in need. Clay Day is an event we look forward to all year for both the friendly competition and the opportunity to associate with our industry partner,” shares Cody Hutson of The Hutson Companies. 

 

Davidson Cares Clay Day is proud to have the support and sponsorship from The Hutson Companies as they continue to do incredible work in Northeast Florida. To learn more about The Hutson Companies visit their website at www.hutsoncompanies.com or call (904) 429-9965.

Northeast Florida Real Estate Market Update

October 18, 2022

Posted by in News, Northeast Florida Market Trends

“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me’.” Erma Bombeck

 

I had to share one of my favorite quotes.

 

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) market stats for September 2022 show home prices declining slightly, closed sales and pending sales declining, days on the market, and active inventory increasing.

 

The median sales price for all property types for NEFAR is $347,995 which is down 2% from $355,000 in August. For single-family homes by county compared to the previous month:

 

Duval – $335,000 down 1.5%

 

Clay – $335,990 down 2.9%

 

St. Johns – $561,495 up 1.2%

 

Putnam – $210,725 down 10.3%

 

Nassau – $408,990 up 0.2%

 

Mark Rosener, NEFAR President said, “I anticipate that the median price will continue to fluctuate month to month in the 3-5% range in either direction for the balance of the year.”

 

Closed sales of 2,032 is down 23.2% from 2,647 closings in August. Pending sales of 2,100 are down 17.1% from 2,533 sales in August. Mark said “Closed and pending unit sales suffered from Hurricane Ian’s impact when the powerful storm interrupted services during the last week of the month, a time when many properties close and/or go under contract. Many of the properties scheduled to close in that last week should shift to close in the first half of October.” The insurance companies will not write policies when a storm is near, and some properties must be reinspected before they will insure.

 

The active inventory increased from 6,015 in August to 6,789 in September, a 12.9% increase. The months supply of inventory increased from 2.3 months of supply to 3.3 months, a 47% increase.

 

In summary, the prices have declined slightly, the closings and sales have decreased, and inventory has increased. Home buyers are more cautious and rising mortgage rates have impacted their purchasing power. The buyers have more homes to choose from and more negotiation room. The sellers have lost a little edge, but the prices are still much higher than they were one or two years ago.

 

It is a great time to buy or sell. Please let us know if we can assist you in any way.
