popb2anack1azzo“Something I learned early in college is to not worry about what I can’t control…But what I can control is my attitude, my effort, my focus every single day and that’s what I’m trying to worry about.”  Tim Tebow

We certainly can’t control the real estate market but we can control how we respond to the changes in trends. Fortunately, the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors market stats for November show continued improvement in almost all measured areas. The inventory continues to decrease. The number of properties available in the Multiple Listing Service in active status at the end of the month dropped 31% from November 2010 to November 2011. There were 15,498 properties available last year and 10,722 available this year. The number of available properties has dropped every month this year.

The months supply of inventory at 7.4 months is 35 percent less than November 2010 when we had 11.4 months of inventory. The price range with the largest percentage decrease is the $500,000-$999,999 with a 45% decrease. The months supply for this price range went from 28 months to 15 months. Read more

Welcome New Agents Christine Skaggs & Andrea Gallagher

Christine SkaggsOur Davidson Realty family continues to grow and we say, the more the merrier!  We’re very happy to welcome two new real estate professionals to our premier team of Realtors: Christine Skaggs and Andrea Gallagher.

It’s an interesting coincidence that both Christine and Andrea hail from the Boston area.  Or is it?  Maybe a childhood of Massachusetts winters makes you dream of a warmer, sunnier place like Jacksonville and St. Augustine where you can hit the World Golf Village golf courses, take a bike ride and enjoy other outdoor activities year-round. 

In addition to her customer-service oriented work experience, Christine Skaggs’ life experience has also shaped her interpersonal communication and multitasking skills. Skaggs is a supportive military spouse and mom to two kids.  Her husband’s military career included stints in Honolulu, Hawaii and San Antonio, TX.  She chose St. Augustine as the home base to raise her family almost two years ago for its relaxed, safe environment and excellent St. Johns County school system.  In her new role as a Realtor, Skaggs takes pride in bringing the same level of commitment, resourcefulness and people skills that have defined her success as a military wife and mother in helping her clients sell their homes or find the perfect place to call home.
