docOne in five Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetime. It is the most common form of cancer in the US, and over the past 31 years, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined.

The good news is that skin cancer can be prevented.  Join us for the Davidson Speaker Series on Thursday, May 31 at 7:00 pm when Dr. Robert Brown of North Florida Dermatology Associates presents a free seminar on Skin Care and Skin Cancer Prevention.  Dr. Brown will discuss the importance of vigilant sun protection, regular skin checks and how to navigate the sea of SPF ratings.  Dr. Brown will also discuss skin protection for children.  He cautioned that “rates of skin cancer in children, teens and young adults are growing at an alarming rate.” In addition, Dr. Brown will answer questions and provide insights and advice for minimizing skin aging and maximizing skin health.

March Real Estate Trends – Inventory is Down and Sales are up!

April 30, 2012

“It was high counsel that I once heard given to a young person. “Always do what you are afraid to do.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

That will be my advice to my youngest son, Sam, who graduated from UNF on Friday with a Degree in Mechanical Engineering. I am so blessed with a great family!

I found some interesting information in the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors Market Stats for March. We have a very positive trend in pending sales. There were 2,018 contracts written in March 2012 compared to 1,719 in March 2011 for a 17% increase. The first quarter of 2012 is up 18% over the first quarter of 2011. In my office, the first quarter pending sales are up 40% over first quarter last year.

Now for the interesting part, there were 1,419 closings in March 2012 compared to 1,529 closings in March 2011 for a 7% decrease. The first quarter closings are down 3% compared to first quarter last year. Pending sales have risen so dramatically in the last 3 months, the closings should be increasing soon. It was also interesting to note that the price range with the largest increase in pending sales is $1,000,000 and above with an 18% increase. Read more
