Jacksonville Market Improving
You can almost feel it in the air. Now that the inventory of
homes on the market continues to drop........ Buyers really aren't in
the drivers seat anymore. I sold a house last week and we (of course)
got into a multiple offer situation. I explained to my Buyers how it
works in great detail. Then I suggested that they "sleep on it" and
consider their "highest and best offer". Keep in mind, they LOVE this
house. We looked at a dozen others AFTER we looked at this one back in
November. Everytime we left a home, they compared the others to this
one. They asked me if I thought they should go in at full asking price.
After another CMA and a lot of discussion, they decided they wanted it
bad enough to offer full price. We did and we got it! I had written a sweet cover letter and I'd like to
think that helped the Seller make his decision. My Buyers are ecstatic
and we're well into the process of getting the financing together. So
there you go... Another home in Jacksonville sold at asking price. The numbers don't lie. According to the National Assoc of Home Builders, our market has shown improvement in housing permits, our employment numbers have improved and house prices have improved for at least six consecutive months. This is another indicator that our overall real estate market is improving. According to NAHB: "The three indicators that are analyzed are employment growth from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, house price appreciation from Freddie Mac, and single-family housing permit growth from the U.S. Census Bureau. NAHB uses the latest available data from these sources to generate a list of improving markets. A metropolitan area must see improvement in all three areas for at least six months following their respective troughs before being included on the improving markets list."
There may never be a better time to buy in Jacksonville. The interest rates remain low (my latest buyer locked in at 4%) and the home prices have stabilized at historical lows. We are attracting new companies and according to the Chamber of Commerce 8,000 new jobs were created in 2011. Not a huge number, but better than most cities.
We're excited about the real estate market in Jacksonville Florida! Things are looking up and we're looking forward to market growth.

Jacksonville Open House Blues
Here I sit in a vacant house...waiting for prospects to stop by. I have iced down some bottled waters, I have a wonderful platter of cookies from the Publix bakery, Diet Cokes, Sprite and even the proverbial hard candy bowl!! Only one thing is missing: visitors! I will have to admit that it's about 99 degrees outside and the humidity is around 110%; but still! WHERE ARE THE "LOOKERS". I thought surely I'd at least have a nosy neighbor or two...you always get a few of those. Nope. I guess it's even too hot for them!
This is a cream puff!If you know of anyone looking for a pool home in Arlington in the low 120's--please send them my way.
Wait! Here come some lookers!! Better close up the old lap top and get to work! I have a contract sitting on the counter top...just in case!
Open Houses just don't work anymore I guess. REALTORS have always said that, but sellers don't believe us. Oh well. Jus doin my job...right? Maybe those nay sayers are all wrong! I'll know soon...
First Time Buyers: call me for info on getting $35,000 in down payment assistance!

Jacksonville Market Is On Fire!
Wow! Things have gone crazy in this market! The investors are fighting with the "normal buyers" and the "normal buyers" are coming out of the wood work! I guess it's the $8000 carrot that the Feds are dangling in front of the buyers noses! I am working with 4 different buyers. Let me say that again...I am working with FOUR buyers! These are preapproved, bonafide, ready to buy buyers! And just to add a little icing on the cake, they are the sweetest, nicest, funnest buyers I've ever worked with! Dare I say it? Oh what the heck: we are having fun! There are so many "bargains" out there right now it's amazing. The prices are HOT HOT HOT!
