June 18, 2024

 | 

May was spectacular closing month for buyers and sellers alike. We are so appreciative of our team of real estate advisors who helped people make their customer’s real estate dreams a reality. It’s time to recognize our top agents for May! In our Q&A blog with our TOPS, we asked our best this month to share their top 3 local businesses they like to support. Read on for their suggestions:

 

Our Overall Top Producer for our company as well as our Jacksonville Beach team is Candy Gil with over 2.5 Million in closings for the month.
Candy – My top three locally owned businesses that I love are the following and not in any particular order.

 

1) Cottage By The Sea – It is owned by a good friend, Dale Gray, and they carry great furniture, and gift items for any season. The employees are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. It has been at the beach for over 20 years.

 

2) MOS – Owned and operated by Lourdes McGuire – also at the beach for over 20 years. You need beautiful plant arrangements or gift items, candles, jewelry, clothes, MOS is the place to go. She will take the simplest plant and turn it into a beautiful arrangement.

 

3) Carla’s Shoes – There you will find shoe brands that are not available in our local Department Stores. The ladies that work there are friendly and will help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

 

I love to support our local businesses. Check them out and you will fall in love with them also.

If I was going to buy an investment property, I would look at a townhome with low fees in the low 300k’s with a reasonable HOA (200 to 350 dollars a month) in a neighborhood such as the WGV area that is desirable and where we could command a nice rental income.

Our Top Producing and Top Sales Team for the month is The Nemethy Group!  Shelley & Tim had over 1.8 Million in closings and 1.8 million in pending sales!

Shelley and Tim – 1532 Valhalla Way in The Cascades of World Golf Village is the best value in the community! It is a 55 and older community near golf, shopping, medical and restaurants. This gated community has outstanding amenities which include maintenance of the grounds, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, club house, pickleball, tennis, walking trails, activity director and so much more!

Port in the Storm

May 9, 2024

 | 

For the past eight years, Davidson Cares, the charitable arm of Davidson Realty, has been a beacon of support for non-profits through Jim Davidson’s Annual Clay Day fundraiser. Their remarkable fundraising efforts, totaling almost three-quarters of a million dollars, have left an indelible mark on the local community. When selecting charities for its events, Sherry Davidson, president of Davidson Cares, focuses on finding charities that improve the local community and serve vulnerable populations, especially children in need, a cause that the late Jim Davidson was deeply passionate about. One of those charities, the Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center, is a testament to the transformative power of caring.

 

Davidson Cares was inspired to contribute to the Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center after one of its Clay Day sponsors, MasterCraft Builder Group, completed an emergency renovation of the facility after a flood caused mass damages just days before Christmas.

 

“We added Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center as one of our charitable causes in 2022 after seeing the impactful work they were doing,” says Sherry Davidson, president of Davidson Cares. “The organization’s mission is so important, and the cost of providing those services is endless. Davidson Cares is proud to help them continue that work.”

Wishing all the mothers out there a Happy Mother’s Day!

 

The Northeast Florida Association of Realtors (NEFAR) market review continues to show the median sales price of $360,000 consistent with last month. It was 8.2% higher than last year.

 

There were 2,442 closed sales, which is up 23.5% from last month and down 15.8% from last year. These numbers are affected by the volatile mortgage rates. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage had remained below 7% since early December and began rising in February. According to Freddie Mac, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage rose to 7.1% from 6.88% last week, the highest level since late November. Properties that went under contract in late December, January or early February closed in March.
