Team Davidson on Track to Surpass $90 Million Closing Goal

December 6, 2013

Tis the season! There’s so much to be thankful for this year, including our Jacksonville Realtors being on track to surpass our company goal of $90 million in closings. November was a solid month for our agents, bringing in $6.2 million in sales and $7.2 million in closings. Congratulations to Pauline Cake, Woody Cake, Suzy Evans and Mirtha Barzaga for topping the sales and closings chart!

Our Top Listing Agents for November are Pauline Cake and her husband Woody Cake. Pauline and Woody had $1.1 million in listings sold and total sales of $2.3 million. It’s no surprise our World Golf Village experts sold two of their own listings in World Golf Village’s King & Bear community. They also sold their own listing in Samara Lakes. Out of their three buyer sales, two were in World Golf Village (one in The Cascades, World Golf Village’s premier active adult community, and the other in the King & Bear). Pauline and Woody’s third buyer sale was in South Hampton off of CR 210. Read more

Jacksonville’s Real Estate Trends Show Continuing Decrease in Distressed Properties

November 22, 2013

This month I analyzied the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors‘ real estate trends for October 2013.

There were 29% more contracts written (pending sales) in October than the previous year. We are up 26% year to date in the Northeast Florida market area.

Closings were 7% less in October compared to the previous year; however, we have 23% more closings year to date than last year. It is interesting to look a little deeper because the lender-mediated closings dropped 25% from 706 last October to 533 this year. Traditional closings were up 8% from 891 closings last October to 959 this year. Lender-mediated closings were only 36% of total closings in October compared to 44% last October. It is very encouraging to see less distressed properties and more normal closings. The median sales price of $158,865 is up 16% over last October and prices are up 16% year to date. Read more
