Posted by Peyton Davidson in Top Agents

January was a good month for St. Augustine real estate! We had a total of 25 transactions with an average price of $272,000, which is higher than previous months. It is great to see that housing prices are picking up in St. Johns County. Fourteen different Davidson agents had a sale in January. Things are looking good!

Davidson Realty, Inc. Continues to Support Sertoma Toys for Tots

Posted by Caryn Best in Community Involvement, News

DSCN0312Yes, times are tough and people are cutting budgets and reducing spending every chance they get. Unfortunately, it also means that there are more families and children in need of help than in previous years, and with people watching their spending and cutting budgets, non-profits are taking a big hit. That’s why we are more proud than ever of our real estate agents, who showed tremendous generosity this holiday season despite the tough year for the Jacksonville real estate industry.

We continued with our annual tradition of collecting toys for Sertoma Toys for Tots. We had collection bins at all of our open houses, but times were tight and they didn’t seem to be getting nearly as full as usual. So, Davidson Realty employees agreed to forgo their own holiday gift exchange (more…)

Update on Market Trends for October 2009

Posted by Sherry Davidson in Northeast Florida Market Trends

Sherry DavidsonwebAfter reviewing the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors October Market Stats, I continue to see real estate in Jacksonville, FL stabilizing.

The pending sales in October are up 79% over last year, but that is misleading unless you put into context what the market was like last October. If you remember, the country was experiencing a financial market meltdown. The pending sales are good and improving every month. August pending sales were 1, 479, September was 1,535 and October was 1,729. That is a terrific trend.

The prices of homes in Northeast Florida seem to be stabilizing. The median sales price for August, September, and October were $149,900, $145,000, and $146,000. The average prices for the same months were $179,411, $175,108 and $179,205. The year to date average sales price is down about 20% from last year. (more…)
